To those who dont care (Seb et all) please skip to last paragraph - for the others the last lines for you


Getting to know Amsterdam, falling in love with the water, atmosphere, being a rookie in a hall of fame city , seeing another dear old friend, meeting new international friends and together witnessing possibly the final two ever, and quite possibly, in the historic and legendary Paradiso, the best Black Crowes shows I have ever seen….

Momentous…


Incorporating wonderful new DNA into the journey of life…..

Wow wow…..


Discovering the beauties of Copenhagen and then possibly my third favorite city in the world, Stockholm, while staying with wonderful hosts who opened their homes to us

Wonderful….


Hopping on a boat, just in the nick of time, meeting and having a blast with wonderful new people from all over the world, and experiencing the history, culture and character of the gorgeous cities of Helsinki, Riga, Gdansk, Visby, and oh yeah, St. Petersberg, Russia!!!

Breathtaking…..


Red-eyeing to Lisbon, seeing the city, joining 50,000+ people to witness the final Bon Jovi show of the world tour, with tingle-inducing rarities and lay-it-all-on-the-stage finality, capping what I think may be the best Jovi show I have ever seen…

PRICELESS….


Having to literally walk over 3 hours home because parts of Europe still cant get the masses home properly…

Uncool…….


Spending that final show in an atmosphere that can only be described as the most fun I have ever had at a concert – made possible by the blistering musicianship, undeniably better European setlists, unquestionably more enthusiastic and committed European crowds that just don’t quit - and that I have never experienced anything even remotely similar to before - , and most of all, the international coalition of friends that has fostered over a 20-year period of time, from what was once just a small little website from a guy named Peter, that descended upon the city and the show in all of their bouncing, infectious exhilaration at just being there with the music and each other….

---------------------------TRULY EPIC-----------------------------------------------


9 cities, countless new friends, beautiful music, much learning with wonderful experiences…

A journey of a lifetime

Thanks thx to all who shared the ride and stories…
