I went to see Reni Laine in the Melkweg last night. She shared the bill with Martin Gabriel and Ralph. It was good to see her and David again. She played another very lively set, playing songs from the American Baby album, and some new ones, which I enjoyed. I liked the new haircut too. She was easily the most interesting of the three acts that appeared on stage last night, and it was good to see her doing so well. She played "American Baby" especially for Paris Hilton....
It was a slightly unusual concert, really, a showcase for three acts, and the Dutch act, Ralph van Manen, appeared to have invited a lot of family and friends, which made for an unusual audience in the Melkweg. They were obviously not regulars. Reni had to make an effort to get people to come closer to the stage because most were a little shy. What I also noticed was that the Dutch audiences seem to get more rude all the time. Some people seemed to talk throughout the evening, even during the quiet songs. And then the mobile phones. You could see the little lights flashing throughout the evening, and people walking out to take the call. I just don't get that.
