Clayton is cool
One down, nine to go. U2 played it safe in Brussels and opened the European leg of their Vertigo tour with a solid, blockbuster set that left no room for experimentation. ‘Subtle’ wasn’t the word. I took pictures with my … Continue reading
I’m with the band
U2 Euro Vertigo Tour Madness 2005 is about to start. I will leave for Brussels in the morning, make a brief stop back in Amsterdam on Saturday and then off to Gelsenkirchen (Germany) on Sunday. ‘Try not to enjoy yourself … Continue reading
Coming up for air

Embarrassment of Riches
Don’t ask me how, but I managed to secure 4 (update: make that 3, one’s spoken for) tickets (€ 365) for U2 in Brussels. But… I was already sorted for Brussels. Some heavy swapping will have to take place. (For … Continue reading
