Aloha,
well, as i said earlier today last night was a great night. Tom and Klaas were there, Klaas didn't played but stood in the back listening and watching Tom's performance. The good mood was on and Tom was very funny, telling jokes, joking about the band and some funny situation that had happened to them the night before in Lisboa. I will not tell the stories because it would take a long time to explain and i can't do it right now but if you are able to get a recordingof the show you will listen to al the stories. Sorry.
2 members of the crowd were allowed to place 2 questions and Tom mentioned that the spliting rumour was never to exist. That the break turned into a mega mega break and now people are involved in other projects and that they are going to finish all of them and then get back to dEUS and do another record in 2003. I think this was already mentioned here but nevertheless Tom said it. Also talked a bit about the DVD. Blamed Klaas for the wrong notes played on his guitar and the long tuning moments he took due to new
strings :-)))) told stories about turtles :-))) and gay bars and a black guy who said was famous in Italy and about the issue of being famous in Portugal :-)))) and took requests and was going to play Right As Rain but decided not to because it was a sad song and after the turtles stories. Oh ! there was a comment on a new return to Portugal but that is yet to confirm and that would be with Tom & CJ Bolland !! that would be great.
In the end it turned out to be a great evening and he played seven songs,

Everybody's Weird
Magdalena
Instant Street
Luxury
Nothing Really Ends
One Advice, Space
Serpentine

In the end i was able to talk to them and that was when i handed them the cover cd. I had 5 copies ready for them. Klaas was very surprised and thanked everybody because that was a compliment that people would pull such an act on the band. He asked a few question about the project i explained everything. I also asked about if there was any problem on doing the record and playing their songs and he said no not at all it was nice that people could and wanted to play their songs. Then Tom came and he already knew
about the project, Pedro had asked him the permission, remember and had also sent him an e-mail but he was interested in knowing more about the project so i explained everything again :-) and he was amused by the name of the record and told me he was curious on listening to the cd. Let's hope for a comment on the project :-)) Oh! they both know about the existence of the dML. Unfortunately they were in a hurry they were hungry and the guy from the record company were telling them they had to go. Anyway they were very nice and were please to receive such an offer. This is great, no?!! :-)) Finally all these year of waiting and working paid something :-))
Now, should we produce a Zita Swoon cover CD???? :-))))
Oh! I have a radio recording of the show.
Cheers
POLIDO
