Zak Starkey + The Healers in Amsterdam

[Bjorn Ciggaar <ciggaar@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

What a great performance yesterday of Zak Starkey + The Healers. And quite 
a turn-up too for a monday night!

I bumped into Zak while waiting if front of the ticket window. He came 
walking by and I said "Hey Zak!". He looked an me and laughed (like "I'm 
not surprised anymore") and said "Hey Bjorn!".

We talked a bit. He likes doing this tour, it's going great and they're 
going back to the US after their UK dates.

He also regretted that The Who didn't play RAH, but he said that they would 
next year. Anyway, he sounded like they where eager to play, but not this 
year...

As always, he was very mellow and humble...

As for the show... I'd describe Johnny Marr's music as mellow psychedelic 
britpop... With a raw steady powerfull awesome drummer. Really, I stood in 
front of Zak and that was the only one I watched. Johnny Marr stood in the 
way a couple of times. :-)
It is not the kind of music I go crazy on, but I need to have some more 
mellow music for sunday morning... (really, I need to quit L@L, that stuff 
is too powerful!)

Zak really played hard & heavy. He was the wildest thing on stage anyway. I 
really like his drumming.

Anyway, some pics:
