isobel campbell & mark lanegan - paradiso - 080608

in small letters at the bottom of the playlist: "p.s. do you wanna come walk with me and something to believe are there should we ever need.", mark the point btw ... i needed them, as i arrived late (didn't check the starting time in advance, which was earlier then normal) ... so running through amsterdam where the streets have names i start to know by now, entering the paradiso without having to pay to lidmaatschap-thing (at least one good thing of being late) and then almost complete darkness, creating a nice atmosphere, forcing the audience to listen ... i missed about 7 songs, including deus ibi est unfortunately ... but what i saw or more precisely heard was divinely enough, those two voices work perfect together, and when mark sings alone (more often on the last cd), she's written some damn good songs for his tall dark voice ... best part was when the circus was leaving town, followed after a quick cigarette by the great revolver (i'm holding on 'cause you're my revolver and i dreamed of an ending and flying away)
