>> Review:

Before the band arrived, there was the music from Simon. Then they arrived and everybody was applauding a lot. They played lots of hits like Trash, Electricity, Everything will flow... Brett (wearing a pair of blue jeans and a sexy black T-shirt) let the audience sang lots of times, by putting the microphone in our direction. He was looking at the public to be sure they knew the song by heart (which was of course the case) and he was very smiling and seemed to enjoy it all. Sometimes, Matt was looking at the audience and he smiled and seemed very happy too. At time you had Brett drinking a bit and then he was throwing the bottle very far in the audience, guess he had lots of energy to spend. Which he did by walking and dancing in every side of the scene. They played new songs, and I think that 'beautiful losers' was the most applaused of those new hits. So young, Metal Mickey made the people crazy, everynody was jumping and singing in the crowd!!

Then they stopped and the people asked for an encore and they played New Generation, pretty lovely :)

Alex looked well in the band, a very good musician he is, and he was singing lots of time too. Richard (still not too slim) and Simon seemed ok, but to be honest I was most of the time having my eyes on Brett!!
