Like mentioned before it was not really crowded and this picture illustrates that pretty well. Even at the wet bar it was fairly quiet ... and more important, it was not as expensive as for example the North Sea Jazz Festival is. This is the Colorful Radio Tent, the tent where Incognito would perform later on. Around that time it would be much more crowded, and I believe this was the most successful concert of the festival. |

This is how the tent looked like half an hour before Incognito took the stage ... Right before the concert I purchased a (official) black Incognito T-shirt for a measly 20 euro and wearing that I positioned myself right in the middle of the front of the stage, making sure I didn't go unnoticed ... ... which I wasn't :-) |
The concert began only 10 minutes too late but this time they didn't kick off with Parisian Girl, but the cast was the same as during Ollies' gig, ecxept that Imani sang instead of Joy Rose.
This meant that Rob was delighted to see that Ed Jones was there as well. I was glad to see Richard wearing the Drumaholic T-shirt, which meant that there would be a drum solo.
| This photo was taken right after Bluey recognized me. It is to his credit that he remembered me (and my mug), because I am sure I am not the only one who introduced himself to him as being Incognito's biggest fan ;-) Of course my Incognito shirt helped a little ... Throughout the entire concert Bluey sought eye contact with me and everytime I acknowledged that I was having a good time. And that is really not that hard to do, especially if you know all the songs lyrics by heart so you can sing along with them. |

During Skin On My Skin Kelli Sae gave her all, like she usually does in this song and it's astounding that someone with that much presence and power is virtually unknown, while non-talents like Britney conquer the world's stages. This picture is not entirely still, but then again Ms Sae is completely losing herself in her performance. The same can be said of Tony Momrelle, although he did backing vocals for no other than Sade. And now he is singing with Incognito. After the show I ran into him somewhere on the festival area and I asked him how it felt and he replied that Incognito was like a family to him. I can believe that. And I like to believe that I, together with all the other fans, are also a part of this family. |
