I very much enjoyed the gig in Brussels yesterday! It was a rather small crowd, but the atmosphere was magical. I wanted to ask a setlist after the show, but they were all already gone... If someone could post the setlist here, I'd be very grateful. Thanx!

Yeah... it was a great gig ! I was very happy they played 'Cloudless' as the last encore... Smile

Didn't get hold of the setlist though. But it was pretty much the same (apart from 'Cloudless') as in Amsterdam the night before, albeit in a slightly different order... i'll see if a can dig up that setlist from my bag somewhere tomorrow.

Btw; my Brussels gig ended with quite a bummer: two windows of my car appeared to be smashed in when i got back to my car. Seems to be a nasty neighbourhood over there... Confused

But nothing was stolen, and after duck-tapin' the windows with some clothes, i could safely drive it home where i replaced the windows today with some spare stuff i had in my basement Cool

Sorry to hear that, marco - that neighbourhood is pretty bad, so I've heard. Anyway, we didn't even get a chance to say goodbye to you - what happened?! one minute you guys were coming back to the hotel for drinks and the next you'd all vanished. peh. email me photos or I'll reveal your age to everyone here.

I don't have the setlist for Brussels since someone stole mine when I put it down for 10 minutes. I'd scribbled all over it anyway but no doubt it'll be up soon though. Was a good show - they sounded excellent. Shame about the lighting desk breaking, but these things happen.

I still remember saying goodbye to you all.
So glad my car was parked inside. Next time we will have a afterparty outside when it it so hot inside. Would like to see the "funkmaster" at work Wink

It was cool. Thanks to the VK guy who drove us, the excellent chef, thanks to the hotel guy for the beer, erm...stuff. Anyhow, the area around VK is not safe to park at night. Unfortunately the venue has to deal with this as theyre situated in quite an unpleasant area. Travel there by taxi or public transport I'd say unless you have secure parking. The venue itself is very cool and the staff are excellent. It was so nice to see people who had come to Amsterdam in Brussels again. Two people that we know from previous shows drove forever to Amsterdam only to catch the two last songs of the show. now THAT is hardcore Smile

PS marco you look great for your age. being 32 and still being able to wear pink dresses speaks for any guy.

I was lucky enough to get Jims copy of the setlist. Here it is:

- Reverie 55
- Jewel 30
- Loved 32
- Shining Road 33
- Future 36
- Flute 37
- Sunrise 51
- Vanishing Pt 38
- Snow 42
- Particles
- Far away 30
- Adrift 30
-------------
- Fragile 48
- Submarine 40
- Light song 34
--------------
- e.g. Shining 43
- Everywhere 30/31
- Lilies 44

Cloudness was not part of the setlist, but they played it anyway. Thanks for this extra great song!

Does anybody know what these numbers mean? I didn't see them on Allisons copy of the setlist.

By the way, I would appreciate it if anyone could post (or send me) some pictures of the gig.

I really enjoyed the Cranes gig, although I am suffering from a great lost in my life, I had the chance to clear my mind. Thanks!!!

Unfortunately, I couldn't be at the Cranes gig, but I was considering to go.

At the same evening, 1 km from the Vk, Michael Gira (ex SWANS) was playing with his band Angels of Light.

I HAD to see them again. The people who love the darker/harder/experimental side of Cranes, will definitely like SWANS.

Last time I've seen Cranes (in Liege), it was SO great it couldn't get any better. Very Happy
