Info:

"Everybody right here right now! Do you know what I mean?!" Tommy did, Butch didn't... EELS was scheduled to play in the second biggest tent of this Dutch festival; the Golf tent. The temperature cookin' and a lot of people did not even go inside the tents becouse of the extreme heat. Before the show some tv-interviews were done and after the show EELS was scheduled to do a signing session at the OOR tent. Tommy was feeling very ill though and the whole band cancelled that signing session.

Not many surprises, exept for Everything's Gonna Be Cool This Christmas. E invited all the people on the stage who wanted to come and dance to the beat. One guy jumped behind E's piano and started jamming along. After this song the audience did not quite understand that the show was over. "HEY, BYE", Tommy shouted as he walked off the stage, along with the crowd of people that had come on the stage to dance and sing. About 45 minutes of this show were broadcast by VPRO radio. Also the entire show was broadcast on the internet in real audio. Two songs + an interview were broadcast on television by music station TMF.
