Notes:

What a show. They set it off with two show openers on a smaller stage at the back of the room. They gave us "a real St. Patrick's Day with green confetti and "Paint the town green". During this song, they ran through the crowd to the main stage where more confetti marked the ending of the Irish song. They also broke the world record of the largest group of people raising their glass together (for St. Patrick's Day), with a "tournée générale" (round of drinks) for 8.000 fans. Unfortunately, they experienced some technical problems (mics stopped working), so they were asked to leave the stage for a few minutes. When they came back, Danny said he would finish the song they had been playing earlier "even if it killed him". The rest of the show they did everything they could to make up for the pause, including finishing the show 30 minutes later than expected, just to give us back the time we'd lost (including the 20-something minutes at the beginning of the show... Maybe they had had some issues with the little stage?). It was a show with a lot of interaction between the fans and the band, with us singing multiple songs with/for them and with spontaneous lights going up in the air during songs like "If you could see me now" and others. The played two songs in the middle of the tribune (in an entry hall) and Danny walked through the other half of the tribunes while singing all the way. At the end of the show, it was clear they had enjoyed the show as much as we did (and for one of the first times in my concert-going life, I actually believed them when they said they would forever remember this night - but of course, they gaven us the best St. Patrick's Day we could've ever dreamed of and they did of course set a world record).
