I Got The Feeling: Featuring a lot of dancing in the JB style. had 4 keyboards (incl. the MiniMoog) on 'his' side plus the drum
machine featuring all the loops that KAJ can't play live... always
looked into a book before chosing a loop because he had to enter the number. The machine is already programmed with "Hypno Paradise" and "Rave Un2 The Joy Fantastic" among many other tracks. The soundcheck included Sing A Simple Song and Family Affair (after 2000) among other numbers. There were plans for another night-club performance the following night (31.05/01.06), possibly @ "Drinks", but it was cancelled during this show.
