10 years after

It's a strange feeling seeing again concerts of the same bands as 10 years ago. This week I went to Majales, a student festival in Prague to see good old Transglobal Underground, Clawfinger and Dog Eat Dog.

I remember seeing Transglobal Underground about 10 years ago at Jeleni Prikop and E.T. Jam festivals. The style of music is similar now, but the crew completely changed from the one then. Also the repertoir completely changed. They still play nice music, but one gets really sentimental about the good old times and songs then.

Slightly different story with Dog Eat Dog, perhaps new rising stars in '97, nonetheless now - after fading out quite a bit since then, - the concert was still a great fun. On the other hand Clawfinger, probably due to getting in their 40ies, played rather like 'retired' ;-) - a song, then 2 minutes break spent talking about nothing, and again and again, playing - sort of - like Metallica 2 years ago in Amsterdam. ;-)) Sad.

This time I was quite impressed with the organization of the festival. Considering it's just a student thing, they did better than many other 'classic' festivals in the Czech Republic!
