COMMENTS AFTER THE CONCERT:
1: Nederlands/Dutch:
Lieve Barend en Trees,
1: English/Engels:
Dear Barend and Trees,
What an evening, what a treat, the sweets of life with a quality level which goes beyond every musical performance we both ever saw and heard.
And we write this without feeling of shame because the respect and admiration for these two Masters grew again. Those two musicians have it and fit together on stage and in Gino Vannelli's music!!! The way Gino asked if there was a Drummer in the audience said it all, the man did not wait and jumped on stage during Wild Horses and he got a bar stool and he drummed in avery natural way in harmony with the Wild Horses tunes no pressure just fun and the man really enjoyed this... His Daughter who was in the audience was so very proud... She told us his name: Dick Heinen...
Super kicking fantastic and the glow of spontaneity is so amazing and gives us goose-bumps and chickenflesh.........
When Gino asked for backing vocals with I Just Wanna Stop, 2 men and a young girl came on stage, and you will see on the pictures we make on this web page that it is for real and the delight and happyness is all over the place, things people do is in freedom and the pictures say it all.
And we spoke many times about music-heaven, this was a real music heaven that Thursday evening in Utrecht, Holland.
The energy and the electricity was there all the time and the backing vocals were extreme fun. Gino asked their names which we cannot remember anymore except for the man on the right who said His name is "Bocelli" and the audience went wild because when you looked at the man for the first time you saw something of Andrea Bocelli!!! The three backing vocals were great!!! They played the musical game with Gino and Michiel like they were professionals. Imagine how Gino and Michiel enjoyed this response from the people in the audience... WILL BE CONTINUED...
This duo-concert was a warming up for Sweden, Gino and Michiel had to go to Sweden the next day... and they were both very happy with this unexpected warming-up concert and the true enthusiasm of the audience... And the audience got more than a warming-up concert... A beautiful musical memory which is printed in the brains forever...
After the concert Gino and Michiel showed their happy feelings to the audience and came back in the bar to have a drink and a chat and a picture with us, us music-lovers and us GINO VANNELLI music-lovers!!! These are those moments in life which race by so fast and we all wish that it will last longer and longer and more and more...
The 2 Gino Vannelli poems were impressive but we need to read them again a few times to
catch the real deep meaning of how Gino must have felt while writing these words... The titles are "Bridges and Walls" and
"Dream of the Dead". Gino must have enough material by now to create a poem book. The Dutch air made Him write many, many words... The editors B&T dated 26 October 2007 who thank Gino and Michiel with the most deep respect and appreciation for the chance to be there at that moment!!! Luv you and your music Guys....

Dear Barend and Trees
I am a Gino in concert freak, i guess i went about at least twentyfive
times to see Gino live, but this one was without a doubt one OF THE
BEST EVER.
His voice was full of beauty, amazingly clear, power,with sometimes a
gentle touch so delicat and pure, wow! you had to be there.
He was very,very funny Sh(i)eet music, are you canadian?(lol) he is a
real stand up comedian
The whole band, guitar, violins, drums, bass, etc, where magically made by
one man THE AMAZING PIANOPLAYER michiel borstlap, I did not mis one
instrument, chapeau!! michiel
There where a lot hard core fans, "we getting to be friends", each and
everyone as exited as we are,
Wil and her husband, peter and wife and always our support and dearly
friends barend and trees, who understand our Gino admiration an
dedication so perfectly (thanks guys for everything).
Afterwards we got to talk a little bit with Gino, i'am still a bit
nervus, but its getting lesser (is that a word?)
Got my picture taken with Gino and wil,...
This was the 9th concert this year THE NINTH, can you imagen? and still
if tomorrow?....i go again AND AGAIN
Friday.. i'am a zombi, got no sleep,keep hearing his voice, and in my
mind, i see the whole concert over and over again I AM ADDICTED AND I
LOVE IT, GINO IS THE BEST EVER!!!!!!!! Ron dated 26 October 2007.
Lieve Barend en Trees,
De sfeer in de zaal was super relaxt, publiek vond het echt helemaal fantastisch. Dit was ook goed merkbaar bij de opkomst van Gino en Michiel.
Daarna de muziek………… fantastisch, super muziek afgewisseld met gedichten en anekdotes even pauze en daarna weer verder.
GYPSY DAYS Parole Per Mio Padre
Zo vreselijk mooi !!
Zelfs 2 nummers waar mensen uit het publiek naar voren werden gehaald om de backvocals te doen en te drummen was genieten en lachen.
(I JUST WANNA STOP, WILD HORSES)
Al met al een avond om zeker nooit meer te vergeten.
5: English/Engels:
Hi dear people,
Dear Barend and Trees,
The atmosphere in the small jazz venue was super relaxed and cool. The whole audience thought this was sooooooo fantastic. And we could feel the great atmosphere when Gino and Michiel walked on stage they had such glorious grins...
After that the music....... fantastic, super good music relieved with poems and anecdotes, a short break and more and more.......
GYPSY DAYS Parole Per Mio Padre
So very, very beautiful !!
Even during 2 songs people were asked on stage from the audience to do the backing vocals and to drum and that was a real pleasure and we all had good enjoyable laughs.
(I JUST WANNA STOP, WILD HORSES)
Taking it all in all, this was a memorable evening which we will never ever forget.
6: English/Engels:
Dear Barend,
I had never expected to see and hear Gino so soon again, after Bilzen!
Unfortunately we could not sit on the front row. Yes, I know, I am spoilt.
We see you two guys and we can sit next to you in the middle. I had a good sight anyway.
A good sight for A GOOD THING, (I know it when I see it…….)
They started with BLACK CARS always a good beginning. Then GIPSY DAYS followed.
They played also A GOOD THING, PEOPLE GOTTA MOVE, DON’T GIVE UP, I JUST WANNA STOP and BROTHER TO BROTHER I don’t know if I mentioned the songs in the correct order because I was totally in The Music Heaven, so I was not aware anymore of time, place or even the order of the songs.
Gino’s voice was so powerful en Michiel played fantastic. Gino was in a very good mood.
He was full of surprises. Between the songs he read two poems wich I never heard before.
He asked if there was a drummer in the audience. A guy stood up, but there were no drums on stage…Gino offered him his footstool, so he must play the footstool! He did it very good, it was also a very funny view. Later on he asked for some backing vocals to support him with the song; I JUST WANNA STOP. A couple of guys came to the stage. Gino said at once; Bocelli!
One of the guys looked definitely like Andrea Bocelli. But Gino preferred also a couple of girls on stage. Only one girl went to the stage. The other girls had not the guts, I think.
They made a mess of the song but it was fun.
Gino made a lot of jokes between the songs, or did a silly little dance. Also the encore was another big surprise Gino sang PAROLE PER MIO PADRE! I heard this song only one time live, during the concert at the Pepsi Stage, with the Metropole Orchestra. It is also one of Carlos favorites, Beautiful! And then it was over, to soon as always. But we enjoyed it so very much.
Afterwards Gino and Michiel came back to the fans, so we could have a little chat with them and make pictures. I appreciate that always so much! Barend, you made again beautiful pictures! I like the photo you made with Gino and me, while we do that thing with our hands. I don’t know what we are doing but it looks funny!
We could not stay to long because duty calls early, the next morning….
We said goodbye to you two and to Gino and Michiel.
So we went home and have a lot of after-fun for a long time…….
BIG THANKS TO GINO AND MICHIEL for the unexpected wonderful evening!
BIG THANKS TO YOU BAREND AND TREES for giving us the opportunity to be there!
I heard Gino started a new band with Dutch musicians. How is it possible! What an energy!
It smells like many more concerts to come in the future……Yes!

Good morning,
Hartelijk dank en hartelijke groet
11: English/Engels:
Hi Barend and Trees,
Big and many thanks and kind regards
Ik heb je wel heel even zien lopen en in de pauze naar je gezocht want het wordt toch hoog tijd dat wij elkaar eens persoonlijk ontmoeten. Ik heb je helaas niet kunnen vinden. Misschien was je bij Gino en Michiel ? Ik was trouwens ook erg onder de indruk van Michiel.
Dank voor het mailtje over het optreden in Amersfoort. Ik ben die dag in Groningen dus dat gaat niet lukken.
Maar hartelijk dank voor je trouwe mailtjes en ik hoop jullie nog eens persoonlijk te ontmoeten. Hartelijke groeten van
Rina P. d.d. 22 November 2007.
I saw you walk for a short while and I searched for you during the break because it's time to meet personally. However I could not find you. Maybe you was with Gino and Michiel ? I was also very impressed by Michiel for that matter.
Thank you very much for your e-mail about Amersfoort in the Chapel. I am in Groningen that day so I cannot be in Amersfoort on the same day. But again thank you very much for your loyal e-mails and I really hope to meet you personally one day. Kind regards from Rina P. dated 22 November 2007.
Here we make at least 2 slide shows...
