The concert started with the integral performance of the latest EP by the Nits, Tree House Fire, a collection of songs dedicated to the old Nits studio, De Werf, which burned down on May 22, 2022. Nits: The fire took everything. The fire gave us this album. The Tree is still standing. The bird is still singing. A risky start that worked really well, because the new music and songs are magical. The first part of the show was perfect overall. A Touch Of Henry Moore was downright impressive, goose bumps. Up until Nescio it was all equally fantastic.

After the break the band picked up where they left things, until List-Jumeaux. After that, the band lost me until Beromünster.  Too monotonous, too litlle fire? The encores were fine, although I would have loved to hear them play the superb Sketches Of Spain.

But, the fact remains that the band still rocks. Robert Jan Stips, Henk Hofstede and particulalry Rob Kloet are still amazing musicians, who can create a wall of sound with minimal means. Still one of the best bands coming from Dutch soil ever.
