After having raved at him for years about how great a gig venue Paradiso<\/a> is, I finally managed to lure Alan<\/a> across to the Netherlands for a couple of days last week, so we could see The Decemberists<\/a>. On Monday we spent the afternoon wandering around Amsterdam. Lunch at De Brabantse Aap<\/a>, hot chocolate and a brownie at Bagels and Beans on the Keizersgracht, and a beer or two at Caf\u00e9 Hans en Grietje on the Spiegelgracht. Abi caught up with us there after work, and we had a steak at Los Argentinos<\/a> before heading over to Paradiso. We were just too late for the support act (Serafina Steer<\/a>), but in plenty of time for the Decemberists.<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. The Mariner’s Revenge Song<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        Good audience participation on “16 Military Wives” and “The Mariner’s Revenge Song” – they seems to be perennial favourites. I didn’t know “The Mariner’s Revenge Song” when Abi and I went to see them a few years ago<\/a>, but I knew what to expect this time round. I’d been hoping for more songs from The Hazards of Love<\/i>, and Abi would have liked them to play June Hymn<\/i>, but it was a good, long, and varied set (they were on stage for the best part of two hours). Definitely worth catching them live.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
