SWELL, live @ The Old Kettle (2008)

The last show - live @ The Old Kettle, Heist o/d Berg, Belgium - 26 nov. 2008

This is a recording of Swell's very last live show. Audience recording made with a minidisc recorder. The show took place in a café in Heist o/d Berg, a small town halfway Antwerp and Brussels (Belgium), hometown of Jan ‘Funball’ Van Bael who took care of Swell’s p.a. for years.

This concert wasn’t part of the initial tour schedule in 2008. Very little promotion was made. No tickets 'cos free entrance. Barely 50 showed up. Among them quite a few locals that had never heard of Swell before. Not the best setting to say goodbye to a great band like Swell.

Despite all this things turned out just fine. It was a nice, intimate concert. Towards the end, Fearless by Pink Floyd was covered. Last tune was a rather messy version of ‘At Long Last’. And that was it, Swell was no more. David started using his new monniker 'Be My Weapon' a few months later.
