Audience recordings of both concerts turned up at Zappateers.

I was at the Amsterdam show, and it was quite good. A very fine concert hall with excellent sound. You might have noticed that the Amsterdam show did not include Zappa's 'The Perfect Stranger'. Wonder why. But, still quite a good concert.
Driving home after the concert, I made a quick stop in Rotterdam where I picked up two boxes with Zappa and related articles. A gift from Klotz. Great stuff. That'll keep me busy for hours and hours...
