5/5: Upon entrance it was immediately clear this was going to be special. And it was a blast: Prince whipped the audience into a frenzy. The Sportpaleis shook to its core!

Prince & 3rd Eye Girl, 05/25/2014
3½/5: Disappointing concert by Prince. He had an off day (or maybe I did); it just didn’t feel right tonight.

Bootsy Collins’ Funk Unity Band, 02/21/2014
3½/5: Top funk with über cool bass player Bootsy!

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, 11/17/2013
4½/5: Following the stunningly good concert of 11/04/2013, I immediately tried getting tickets for this evening, which, miraculously, was successful. Blown away, once again!

Foals, 11/10/2013
2½/5: Very strange show: upon entering the stage the stroboscope was swithced on and never went off. More than half of the show was unwatchable…

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, 11/04/2013
5/5: It had been 24 years since I had last seen Nick Cave. Nothing could have prepared me for this show. I was completely blown away. Impressive!

Fleetwood Mac, 10/07/2013
4/5: Good professional show and it’s indescribable how good Lindsay Buckingham is!
Sep 30 2013
Peter Gabriel, 09/30/2013
3½/5: Peter Gabriel opening with a very strong set of songs and even adding Family Snapshot: top!
Sep 20 2013
Janelle Monáe, 09/20/2013
4/5: Janelle Monáe in the small intimate People’s Place. Energetic, funky show. She does deserve a (much) better band though.

Prince & 3rdEyeGirl (show 2), 08/11/2013
4½/5: The second show was too short (but did include Breakdown!). First (and last) time my son Rachid saw Prince.
Aug 11 2013
Prince & 3rdEyeGirl (show 1), 08/11/2013
4½/5: The first show was the best. New band (3rd Eye Girl), new music, heavily indebted to hard rock. He was very, very inspired and the sound level was worthy of the Concorde. Top day.
Jul 26 2013
Smashing Pumpkins, 07/26/2013
4½/5: Favorite Smashing Pumpkins in a scorching Paradiso: extremely good!
Jul 05 2013
The Who, 07/05/2013
3½/5: Nostaliga: The Who. Both Tommy and Quadrophenia were played innumerable times during my childhood years. Still great.
Jul 02 2013
Cat Power, 07/02/2013
1½/5: Unfortunately Cat Power had a bad day. She truly is one of a kind, but not too reliable, which is a pity.
