It has now become a real tradition. In June Guus Meeuwis will play three evenings in the Philips Stadium. He has been doing this since 2006 and will remain so for a long time to come. At least if we rely on the 2013 edition. Three times a packed stadium with fans who are already singing along before the concert (that happens outside the stadium, on the Plein van de Hemelse Voorpret). The atmosphere
… remains excellent throughout the evening, the guest performances (by Gers Pardoel, New Cool Collective and Racoon) are well timed, the band is tighter than Guus's shirt, in short: the event exudes professionalism with a capital P. The only downside is that the public enjoys visibly, but not audibly. The cheers and singing during the songs of the more than 30 thousand visitors have been put into the mix much too softly. People who were there will be fine: they only now hear how excellent the performances of Guus and his friends were that evening. But for people who have not been able to get a ticket, this DVD is not a worthy substitute. You must have been there to enjoy this DVD to the fullest. Oh well, another chance next year. And the year after that and all the years after that. (HF)more
