Semana Académica de Lisboa, Lisbon, Portugal - May 5, 1998

Concert info
The following info, review & pictures are from Pedro Pereira's good dEUS site
The night was very windy and a bit cold, but it was not an obstacle to the people who went to the "Passeio Maritimo de Algés" for the Lisbon's academic week" to see dEUS.
The festival began with some "Tunas Académicas" playing to entertain the people before the main concerts. The first band who played was Pinhead Society - a Portuguese band with kind of Sonic Youth influences. Then it was time for Silence 4 - another Portuguese band that plays some nice acoustic songs. And at 0:50 am, dEUS finally entered the stage. They started with the great "A Shocking Lack Thereof" - a song that seems to grow up on you each time you listen to it. The crowd started jumping and pushing and pulling already at the first song, but it got much worst by the time of Little Arithmetics up to Fell Off The Floor, Man. It seamed that the band wanted the crowd to be exhausted already in the middle of the concert, but they didn't have any success. When there was a new song, the people just stop dancing letting the music enter into their ears.
Tom shook his butt like he usually does, but maybe the weather didn't help much to the concert atmosphere. Klaas was not in his best mood, he played well and broke a lot of percussion sticks, but he was not very inspired. Once his violin fell from his hands and he took about 3 songs to tune it again - he said. Craig was a bit nervous (maybe because he'll get married next week) and Jules was kinda tense. Danny was a bit exhibitionist wearing his sunglasses and dancing near to the crowd. Still (always) missing Stef...
