Guus Meeuwis and Bløf

I was taken along to see Gus Meeuwis perform live by a friend of mine, and I was a little apprehensive that I wouldn’t understand a lot of the show and might get bored because of the language barrier. If anyone else is worried about that when going to see him live, don’t be. His expressions, intonation, and body language are universal and he’s so dedicated to every phrase of his music and discloses the narrative precisely.

Although he’s been performing since the early 90s, there’s no sign of him slowing down or his performance weakening, and he put on a fantastic show with incredibly strong vocals. He was great at interacting with his band, and when he was going to improvise a section that they hadn’t rehearsed, Gus gave a nod to his bassist who was leading the band, and he then lead the rest of the band around the new sections of music.

He was wonderful at engaging with everyone in the audience and getting everyone to sing and clap along, and although I didn’t know the music, he taught us all a section of a chorus to sing along to, and it was awesome to be involved in that way.

I loved seeing Bløf live at the Ziggo Dome in 2012. Even not understanding most of the lyrics I could not help but be impressed with their raw musical talent. They played their instruments expertly. The music was rocking, hard, and fast. The lead's voice was fantastic, deep, and rich. They put on a great show with great lights and smoke, great music, and great singing. The audience was clapping along from the moment they entered the stage until the end of their set. During fast songs they jumped up and down and waved their arms around. We all got really into the music and just let it overtake us. Nothing could stop us from enjoying Bløf and their fantastic rock and roll music. It was a whole new experience that was almost spiritual in nature. Bløf puts on such a great show and I loved every second of it. I highly recommend seeing Bløf live to everyone that loves great rock and roll music.
