4:30 am lobby call to get to Amsterdam. We were all still up from the Romanian jam session!
Amsterdam was great- we had food, friends, boats, bikes... I love this city! We had 2 giant AirBnB houses: one for the band and one for the horns.
My Italian friend Matilde came over from Hamburg to stay for a couple of nights. We ingressed and explored a bit. Great food and shopping.
The show was in a small club directly across the water from the main train station. My friends Larry Graham & GCS happened to be in town too... but they played at the same time as us :-(
Didn't hook up after either. Next time!
On the last night there, one of my best friends came through to hang- The one and only Nikki Blakk (formerly of 107.7 the Bone, SF). Argentinian Steak, Beer, absinthe and fun!
Off to Nice- directly into 2 days off :-)

01 First Show: Romania
First Date: Romania
We got here a day early... And MARCUS MILLER is headlining! Our bands all merged and hung out. Even Daru Jones got on up with Marcus, along with Taron on percussion. Awesome.
It's hot here. Everyone is nice.
We had our first run thru rehearsal on stage today, plus another for the horns in a conference room.
The show: Huge crowd filled the square. Giant stage.
We got to see Marcus Miller! His band even stayed an extra night to see our show- we had a mega hang!
People were seriously moved by this show- as were we! We'll be back!

Welcome to the Liv Warfield Summer European tour blog 2015!
I haven't kept a blog in quite a while, so here goes. If it's interesting to you, then read it. It's mostly going to be more of a diary for my own historical reference.
Day 1.
Pretty eventless, but great to reconnect with everyone.
Leaving the U.S. Had problems parking both my cars due to my neighborhoods sweeping schedule. Luckily Stitch came through in a pinch. Gave me a ride to the airport with my Son and his Danish friend Asgar.
OAK to LAX on Delta. Ran into my friends Bayonics on my plane which was cool.
LAX to Zurich on Swiss- Long ass flight. Watched Chappie. Zack Wylde & BLS were on the plane. I embarrassed myself a bit talking to him as if he weren't Zack at all and just a band mate. Well shit- he lost a shit ton of weight since we'd last hung out in New Zealand.
The band is all here at the Movenpick Airport hotel, sans Liv & Horns.
Taron and I walked home from a gas station- late night food run. Time for a shower and bed.
Tomorrow we fly to Romania.
