Comments on Van's Patrick's Day show in Amsterdam:

Van seemed to be in good spirits all night, with lots of theatrics, like
showing what the sound of one hand clapping is, and giving the secret sign.
He was moving a lot and seemed to be very slim and fit. During a great bass-solo on Real Real Gone, Van played a bit of piano, and
during Domino he played some organ.

It was a good show with Van singing with a lot of emotion. I had the
impression that he was not only "singing" the songs but trying to
transport the emotions that the songs express. Van doing a lot of sax
playing and once or twice he went to the piano during soli of other
musicians - just to play some notes (couldn't be heard though), I think
he injoyed it listening to the others. Don't know who the bass player
was, I liked his playing, good groove. Wonderful versions of Raglan
Road, St. James Infirmary and Star of the County Down and the best
version of Baby, please don't go I ever heard live were my highlights
