The link to purchase tickets to this gig is broken and the web page for the venue doesn't show David Gray playing on Feb. 4th. Does anybody have information about this? Maybe they're just taking their sweet Belgian time and haven't updated their page yet............

Hi Susannes13, the venue's website is listing David's gig on February 4th here and this is the ticket seller they link to. Good luck with purchasing tickets and enjoy the gig next year! I moved your post to the thread that already existed on the topic.

Sorry but I had no internet connection in Brussels so I am a little late with this. What a wonderful evening this was. The music was overwhelming last night. I just stood there amazed, thinking how precious every moment of this beautiful concert was. Every note came crystal clear and to the point. They are so tight playing together these days. At some points the music mounted up like a wave that came crushing over the audience but in a beautiful and even delicate way. Here is the setlist from Brussels, thanks go out to the unknown lady who allowed me to take a picture of it 
Fugitive and You’re The World To Me exchanged their places on the list if I remember correctly. Falling Down The Mountain Side was played and what a special version this was. Ain’t No Love and Be Mine were played so Everytime, the solo and We’re Not Right were not. It was nice to be able to see David’s face behind the piano again after he was totally invisible while sitting there in Utrecht. It may be even harder than usual to name favourites as that concert was so good. The beautiful Kathleen and Jackdaw, of course. First Chance which is so driving and haunting, Meet Me On The Other Side was as powerful as ever, the way that song gets performed live just blows you away. What really stood out though were Freedom and Now And Always which came one after another and just felt unreal because they were so beautifully done. Those amazing instrumental parts added to Freedom and David’s strong voice add up to something really special. Now And Always was sung so intensely, I had to hold my breath at some parts. Nemesis was out of this world yesterday. Incredible. David was at his best last night. So were the band. Neill’s guitar took the hall flying, Keith came on so strong and driving, James’ at his synthesizer did so well. Especially Robbie outdid himself last night. Utterly convincing, all of you. I take a bow to you guys, that was amazing. The gig in Brussels took place on the date exactly four years after the first David Gray gig I went to. Little did I know how that one experience would turn my world upside down. Thank you David for enriching my life in such a beautiful way. It was great meeting you again Marcel and then Marc from the Netherlands. Marc is a very talented photographer and kindly allowed me to post the pictures he took yesterday. I will put them on as soon as I can. Phosphorescent alias Mr Matthew Houck does a great job supporting David on this tour and I am urging those who will go and see the upcoming gigs to pay attention and listen to him closely. He is very good and his music is well worth checking out. Go and get one or two of his records after the show at the merchandize stand if you like what you hear. I am sure you will! David named Phosphorescent’s album Pride his favourite for a reason.

Hi All, What a transformation ! After the gig in Utrecht where unfortunately lots of bad vibes controlled the evening, Brussels was a blast like last time. The band was in great spirits and there was lots of smiles and friendly faces everywhere. Phosphorescent had a bit better audience than last time, and Matthew did a good job to convince quite a few I think. Nice bloke, we had a quick chat after the gig. Anyways, the band was on stage round 20:45 I think and opened with Draw the Line. As soon as I heard the perfect sound I knew this time round things would be different from the day before. I will not go through the whole setlist, Rena will take care of that I think ...  There were many highlights, I will just mention a few... Most of all the band was on a high, with David looking at the audience at one point saying "I am here to cheer you up" he sure did and same goes to Neill, Rob, Keith & James. Not sure if Falling down the mountainside was on the setlist, don't think so but it was played very nice to hear that one again. Nemesis, Ain't no love, Freedom, Please forgive me... too much to mention as it was all good. I could hear Neill's guitars without the amps and he had a brilliant night. Rob was smiling a lot and was given enough room to show his skills too, he was very glad with the audience in Brussels and so were we all, a big thank you to everyone in the AB and the nice staff there too. Won't have enough time now to carry on, as we will have to go and get some food soon and see where the venue for tonight is... From Luxembourg all the best and take care ! Marcel.

I can confirm those pictures will be some of the best we will have seen on here. I had no idea my small camera was capable of producing such quality. Well, in the hands of an artist... You can be looking forward to those.

Well done mate, and as I quoted yesterday after you had to hand in your own camera.... "It is in self-limitation that a master first shows himself" You have just made a lot of friends and I am just proud to be one. Thanks again and take care ! Marcel.
