Marsatac, great show!

[woep]

Man, I'm still a little bit excited from Saturday. Me and my girlfriend made a trip from Perk (near Brussels) all the way to Marseille to celebrate my girlfriend's 28th birthday an our 6 years together. And we enjoyed every minute of it!
We went to the Marsatac festival to see dEUS (and The Dewaele Brothers as a bonus) and it was super! We had the goose bumps the entire gig. Tom started with a little error saying hello to Lyon , but the crowd forgave him this error quickly.
After the show the band members came to party to the beats of the Dewaele Bros. We had a nice little chat with Tom, what gave our weekend a little extra. And now up to the 11th and 12 of October at the AB.

Thanks guys for this great show, and Tom go for it in March

Hi,
nice review, thank you, but what do you mean by "go for it in March, Tom"?
I've seen them last week in Thionville and they were really great, will be seeing them this Saturday in Strasbourg and in 4 weeks in Luxembourg. This band deserves all these kilometers

Apparently dEUS might do a new gig in Belgium in March, that's what I mean with it

Hi

Sorry it's a bit late but here my little contribution on the Marsatac topic (great show indeed)... I've been in Marseille for almost 5 years now and I must say Tom's blunder about confusing Marseille with Lyon was even funnier when you know how chauvinistic Marseille people can be (especially when it comes to football rivalries with Paris or.... Lyon).
I just bumped into a short video recording, the quality (especially the sound) is rather poor but it's still cool.
I "rapidshared" it http://rapidshare.de/files/15590582/Deus_Live_24-09-05_Marseille.avi.html
Links to reviews & pics will follows (as soon as I find them back)

They played for one hour and the setlist was:

Pocket Revolution
Cold Sun of Circumstance
Instant Street
Fell Off The Floor, Man
Stop-Start Nature
Theme From Turnpike
Worst Case Scenario
Serpentine
Suds&Soda

I don't remember the missing tracks, I would say What We Talk About, The Real Sugar and 7 Days, 7 Weeks maybe... Well, nevermind, you can't rely on what I say... In fact, I was far too busy dancing and enjoying the show to remember the whole setlist!
I'll try to do better next month in Paris...

Thanks for the video! It really made my skin crawl again like it did when me and my girlfriend were there. In the meantime I've seen dEUS 5 times this tour and a sixth one is coming in NY. But the one in Marseille was the most special one. The first time I saw them again, after all those years, with the new line-up. We had a very big smile on our faces during the entire gig! And your video brings it all back, thanks again!
