well he played only for nearly an hour.
he did play about 7 songs from which 5 were new tracks.
only the opener was an instrumental song, and a very good one that was.
he had lots of trouble with his computer and so he did a lot of
stoned jokes, chatting, rebooting etc. etc.
his voice was as usual, great to hear that raspy voice of him.
mostly he played piano (because of the pc problems), bosnia/sarejevo hitsong,
song for a new age (with acoustic guitarplayer added) and yes during the
only encore he played new jerusalem.
completely improvised with only a sequencer in the background and over this
he played some synths and later again piano.
though this was an electronic festival he played mainly piano and asked if
he could do this
here ;)

it was great to see him perform but it was a chaotic (unprepared ?) gig.
if he wants he can really play the keys and the pity was he should have
done this some more.
but his state wasn't perfect (too stoned) and he started too late.
anyway he was very very friendly and open to the audience.
he was dressed in white trousers and a singlet and a towel !!!!
(he had just taken a shower before the start of the gig) and wearing jesus
sandals.
it was almost 20 years ago since i saw him the last time perform.

i didn't record this, and it's probably better that way.

his new cd will be released in about 2-3 months.
but don't hold your breath for it:)

hopefully this is interesting enough to read.
in a couple of weeks i get some photos of this gig.
