Ticket and review

hamburg 1998For the very first time on this tour the Lisa Germano set was received very (maybe even extremely) well. Lisa even commented on both concerts in Holland by saying that she lost her concentration and could not finish the songs at the ‘sold out shows’.

The EELS show was the same as in Groningen, including Dylan's I Want You. The audience was quiet and stayed in their seats throughout the whole show. Al in all a show the way the Electro-Shock Blues Show was envisioned by the band. Apart from a tiny technical problem in the end. The houselights did not come on after the 'final' encore, so the entire audience kept waiting for the real final encore that is usually played when the audience starts leaving the venue with the houselights on.
