Celebrated my birthday in Amsterdam one year, or was it Rotterdam, smoked so much cant remember what town I was in. Amsterdam is a lot of fun, we have visited 6-7 times. Last time was in 06 and caught the truckers in Haarlam. Had a great time.

you can get chicken strips or spring rolls or doughy things (forget what they're called) right out of a vending machine!
helps if you're on a budget, too

Wish I could remember the name of this amazing pancakes/crepes place I ate breakfast at a few times when I was there last spring. Across the street from this cool record shop. Not far off Dam Square. Drawing a blank, but so good...

Found it. This place: http://www.tripadvisor.in/Restaurant_Review-g188590-d1174352-Reviews-Sara_s_Pancake_House-Amsterdam_Noord_Holland.html

Yep, this place:
http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=Rozengracht+40,+1016+NC+Amsterdam,+Nederland+(Velvet+Music+Amsterdam)&sll=52.373595,4.881454&sspn=0.001638,0.004823&gl=us&doflg=ptk&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=Rozengracht+40,+1016+NC+Amsterdam,+Noord-Holland,+The+Netherlands&ll=52.374315,4.881449&spn=0.00655,0.01929&z=16

Velvet Music. Might be a chain, but I found some cool/rare stuff there. And google says it's 1000 feet from the aforementioned pancake place, so...bonus.

I also recommend visiting "Concerto", a very cool record shop/second hand cd/vinyl in Amstredam. At the liedsplein area. Love that store.

And of course, not second-hand, but always nice to visit "Fame" next to Dam Square.

Post by **CooleyGirl** » Fri Sep 10, 2010 1:18 pm

Ooo, new record stores to explore, yay! Thanks so much!!!

I've never been to Amsterdam but I can't even imagine how much fun it would be to see the DBT there. You guys have a great time!

beantownbubba · Post by **beantownbubba** » Mon Sep 13, 2010 10:18 pm

40th anniversary of Elton John's 11/17/70 concert. Maybe DBT will cover "Take Me to the Pilot" or "Your Song" to celebrate

Oh how I wish I was sitting in an Amsterdam bar smoking and getting ready for the DBT show instead of sitting in my office right now.

You guys are some of the luckiest bastards in the world right now. I will be checking back for updates. Have a great time!

GREAT show tonight. They played quite a few songs off The Big To-Do and some Go-Go Boots songs too. Met a few people from the US up front and we had a great time. Patterson shared the bottle of JD with us during the encores and I took it home :-)

Also bought a tour shirt and a very cool autographed (!) Amsterdam tour poster.

Oh and: I'm pretty sure the show was taped.

Sounds like a great night...
Bummed that they stopped broadcasting the shows from the Paridiso on the Net.
Could've used a DBT fix today...

Right on, brother. It was great meeting you. Bill in CT's name carries a lot of weight. :lol:

Here's how the show went:
After The Scene Dies
3 Dimes Down
The Fourth Night of My Drinking
Where the Devil Don't Stay
Drag the Lake Charlie
Birthday Boy
Santa Fe
Panties in Your Purse
Goode's Field Road
Carl Perkins' Cadillac
Where's Eddie
Everybody Needs Love
Marry Me
Lookout Mountain
Get Downtown
(It's Gonna Be) I Told You So
Sinkhole
Uncle Frank
Hell No, I Ain't Happy
Encore:
Used to be a Cop
Gravity's Gone
Ronnie and Neil
Zip City
People Who Died

Had a wonderful time. Met some friendly friends from the Brighton show, and others from the London show, as well as the always fabulous jimmyc. Got the mic and Jack bottle once again during PWD (as did CG and Tomer), and felt just about like the luckiest guy on earth. They came out sans EZB in the beginning, which was unplanned, so Patterson led the crowd in an impromptu chorus of Happy Birthday for Jay.

A little sad that this'll be our last update from over here, but it really was a magical trip. Can't wait for the next one... Brooklyn, NYE, Philly, Athens, and beyond!

TruckerTomer · Post by **TruckerTomer** » Thu Nov 18, 2010 4:57 am

Only one song they didn't play in the last 4 (Panties in Your Purse), but it was great! The Paradiso is a beautiful place. It was so awesome gettin' the mic and the bottle of Jack in People Who Died. I was standing right in front of Patterson, on the stage (no bariers), and when he handed me the mic our forheads stucked together and we sang together. It was great sharing those moments with Luke & Sarah and all...

Oh, and I had a very special moment before the show...

I was in the soundcheck and I asked Patterson if they could play my favorite song at the show, and he told me he was kinda sick so he don't know...other members of the band knew also I asked for it. And then, when they got to the end of the soundcheck they played Angels And Fuselage just for me...I was almost alone at the venue and sang along with the lyrics, closing my eyes and enjoying every moment. It was awesome and beautiful.

Also met the band again after the show and hung with some of them for a while. Told Patterson thank you for the soundcheck and he also mentioned he played Tornadoes for me the other day, and I have no idea how the hell he knew it's one of top favorites

(I only told that to Sarah I think, was it you?).

Heading to Groningen soon for my final show before I'm going back to Israel on Friday. It was so good meeting all the people, and especially Sarah, Luke & our buddy J' from the US. Sure hope we'll meet again. You guys are the greatest. It was so much fun sharing the last days with you, traveling to the shows and all.

Hi folks,

Yesterday I saw DTB for the first time in the current lineup and had a great time. I took a seat on the balcony and could look right down on the stage. Good to see a big crowd in the Paradiso too. Last time I saw them there they had the upstairs room and it was not sold out. I enjoyed the set very much: the new songs work very well live but I greated the old stuff like I was meeting old friends. I hope to see the band again soon. Unfortunately I can't make it to Groningen and Antwerpen this time around. So fingers crossed for next year.

Anyway: Hi! This is my first post on this board. I have left a few posts on the nine bullets board in the past. I usually post on Stones-boards and we had a DBT week on one of them in 2006. We had some folks of that board over to join the festivities, but I doubt that there's anyone around who'll remember. When I typed in the old adress I came here.
