Hey everybody,

it's now 14:39 in holland and I'm sitting in my school working. I haven't post anything last months cuz, why would I, I've followed news about Simon very well by Frank. So he kept me updated on that stuff, thanks for that.

I was one of the lucky ones who have seen Luke perform in Paradiso Amsterdam on I believe it was july 8th. It was a blast of much rock and roll from the first intro on Drive a crooked road. As a drummer, I really love luke's style and the way he plays, makes me wanna grab a guitar too. He's classic. It was a very strong set! And the crowd man, wow they were amazingly loud, almost everybody knew al the songs played by the band. Since I was/am really into Journey the crowd went Toto-loose when Jeff Scot Soto came on to the stage at one of my faves from The Tubes-Talk to ya later. And the last song, Shine on you crazy daimond.

I loved it to see and hear that everybody was so enthousiastic about all stuff. Luke played with a lot of emotion and long silent intro's on especially Song for Jeff. I loved the set because it was almost non-stop Rock. With a few very nice ballads in between, that brought good balance. The awesome audience gave the concert an extra power-boost.

I loved the show but wished that there was a much better sound. The vocal mix was not articulating at all but probably right in front of the stage better. And also the drumsound was weak. But I was in heaven because I heard that it really was quality playing.

8.7/10 being there is always great!

Way to go luke, thanks!
