21 years have already passed after I saw this band at the concert in Japan (1976). Fortunately the miracle comes to me to meet them again!!

Set List (order not sure..)
The show started with Hellraiser after 'The Stripper (but no film)". As their live CD "alive & gigin' was released recently , I can imagine their set list. But, I am very happy to see that Andy & members still have the power to drive us hard! The balance of vocals was not so good, but it is enough to knock us down. Andy's guitar is still his own unique play, it's very impressive to me. His distortion seems greater than before. Steve played some tapping in his solo. Rhythm section are very tight. Especially I thought I must be dreaming to see Andy played within 3 m(onths?). To tell the truth, I was very nervous before going to this gig. This is an unusual feeling I have ever had the last years. In the next gig, I will be cool (but exciting!). Andy said to promise to come back the Netherlands again. We really hope it. Personally, I want them to play some album songs besides their greatest hits. (Heartbreak Today, Keep it in, and also Andy's Lead Vocal songs! ) And....I'd like to see Andy to play the Red ES-335. Where is it, Andy? You still keep it?
