This was the first show BPB did in this beautiful series. The idea was to do some solo stuff and play some songs with people he found or still had to find in Brussels. Will arrived in Brussels too late, so there was no time to find or rehearse with a band on that first night. It was the most touching and by times serene BPB i've ever seen or heard, so forgive me for not being quiet at all times.
There were some ideas to put this recording on a "real" bootleg, but until now it never happened and from now on it probably will never happen either.

The second night I did not record myself, but there is a pretty good recording of that circulating. The third night I recorded too but soundquality is not as good as this one, due to recording from further back in the venue.

I know this recording was available for members of the "arise"-list but I never heard of it being seeded lossless. Hope you like it and share it for free

After changing the MD-disc, before the encores I did not have time to manually set the recording level. That explains the different sound on cd 2.

note:This is NOT the same recording as seeded last year by zimmy21. I prefer the sound of this one
