Matt in The Netherlands

Yesterday Matt played in the lovely Tivoli in Utrecht. He started playing one or two songs all on his own. He looked quite tired and sounded like he had a couple of drinks to many. After he was joined on stage by his band he sort of woke up and played a pretty diverse set, i think about 50% of the songs were taken from his second album, 2 or 3 unreleased songs and the rest from his first album.
He ended with a very beautiful a capella song which i had never heard before.

Afterwards he was at the merchandise stand signing, talking and taking pictures with fans. There he told he was tired from traveling all the way from Wales to The Netherlands by bus and boat that day (they arrived at the venue at 8pm).

At the beginning of the concert I was quit disappointed because Matt appeared to be very sleepy and a little drunk, but after he told he was tired from travelling and the nescesary travelling sickness pills (which sort of numb your tongue and lips) I felt kind of sorry for him and hoped he would just be able to catch some sleep soon ;)

I took some pictures during the concert yesterday, you can see them at my Flickr account: http://www.flickr.com/photos/diaan/2650189444/in/set-72157606051354712/

I second that.Diaan, those pics are amazing, congrats!
Matt did a great job in Utrecht, especially considering how exhausting the trip to Utrecht must have been for him and his crew… and then… there were incredibly loud crowds in the audience, talking without a break. That must have been pretty strenous on stage, i guess. Plus i personally wondered why those people go to a gig when they have so much to talk about… there are cafés in Utrecht as well….Sorry, I don’t mean to offened anybody here but i found it quite annoying. He played a fantastic set though and definitely took so much time to chat with fans, sign and sing… I saw the clueless face of one of the security guys who tried to close the venue while Matt was singingn Vienna with a few people ^^ ...
thanks so much to Matt and his wonderful crew to come out there!!
