I'm pretty happy I was able to fit going to Groningen (yeah, pronounce that one again Dev
![Razz :P](./images/smilies/icon_razz.gif)
) into my busy schedule of the past weeks. Fortunately, all of that ended on the day on the show so it was the perfect way to finish that period off. Excellent show, and it was so cool that Dev did a little acoustic thing first. I was standing right in front of the stage, next to some cool German people and another Dutch guy which I met while waiting at the doors before the venue opened. So yeah, Dev all in my face.
Acoustic setlist I know because I took a picture of it.
Coast
Terminal
Fall
Solar Winds
Sister
Ih-Ah
Very chilled out, and just a very positive vibe about it, both from Dev as well as the crowd. Then while preparing for the DTP show we got some Ziltoid Radio with much hilarity ensuing. As for the main show, holy shit. Maybe it was the intimacy of the small venue (the last show I visited was 013, Tilburg, which is about 3 times bigger) or me having Dev's balls in my face half the show, but damn that was intense! It's now 2 days after and my neck is still sore from le headbanging and my stomach still hurts from singing along with most lyrics.

Anyway, excellent tight playing, even on the Deconstruction songs (Stand, Juular AND Sumeria!) which are complex as fuck. Large amounts of kudos all around, but hats off especially to RVP who pretty much nailed Dirk's work on Decon, and Dave who played most of the leads on those songs live. Also does a nice impression of Joe Duplantier I might add.

So yeah, blabla, praise all around. I had a great time, and on top of that the price of 15 euros for a show like that is a joke really. The 65 euros for a tank of fuel less so... so I guess it evens out.

I may add some pictures here later. By the way Sanne, I'm pretty sure I saw you there too, talking to Dave and Dev after the show. I would've said hi, but I'm pretty sure my scent after the show would've knocked out anyone within a 6-foot radius. Consequently, the drive home was no pleasure either, even for me.
At least I made it home before sunrise.
