Chris welcomed everybody with a warm "Dank je wel vrienden", dutch for "Thank you friends" and it was the start of a cool night. After a small part of talk Chris asked people what they wanted to hear. Someone screamed Trouble, and Chris started right away. After that he started playing a bit of Amsterdam, although he forget the lines.. it was actually funny. The acoustic version of The Scientist was also a moment of "Oh shit". He wanted to sing something else while te crowd was singing it correctly.. Chris laughed and respond that the crowd knew the lines better than him.

At the end of the show Chris said they were going to do something they never done before. Chris called one of the guys who walk with Heineken beer in the crowd onto the stage, and he ordered beer for the whole band. They started playing Yellow as end of the first night in Rotterdam! [thanks ShaftX]
