I'd been undecided for quite a long time whether I would go or not to Pinkpop this year. The line up was tempting, Queens Of The Stone Age, Triggerfinger, ... ! I eventually stayed home, The Netherlands mean quite a long drive from here, but I didn't miss the live stream of one of my favourite band. And, on that sunday evening, they were once again impressively awesome !! They had been on a touring break for about 2 months and I was looking forward to seeing what they were up to and if they had any new material. I didn't get disappointed. The new song, "Attitude For Darkness" is quite engaging, based on an old school rock boogie riff that passed through the audience just like another great Triggerfinger's nugget. But the masterpiece of the show is no doubt "My Baby's Got A Gun". I've seen Triggerfinger quite a few times, live and on screen, and this number is not my fav of the last album, but I must admit that, here, the band delivered a devil possessed version of the track. Mario and Mr Paul's rhythm section is pounding as ever, Ruben's voice is at his top and his circular-saw riffs rip the song apart all the way (as you can hear below from the soaring take-off at 2'48) ! Looks like Mario is particularly keen on being back on stage too, when you see him screaming, licking his cymbals, leaving his drum kit behind to swagger  in front of the stage or else, tapping on glasses, on a bottle of wine and a Pinkpop bedside lamp on "I Follow Rivers" ! 
On top of that, our three shooters showed up in a very elegant pink suit to pay tribute to the festival (look at Mr Paul's "gold plated" shoes too !). Very smart ! At last, thank you Dutch fans for being so warm and responsive to the band and for making then this concert so intense. I am along with you with all the "best­e band van pinkpop 2013 !" that sprang up on the web after the show. I wish they could get this rousing welcome here ! "Soon", I hope ...   
I've added a few extras, from the same day and from an "old" early period ! 

Hope you'll enjoy !

Cheers !

  1. Hi Chac,
    First of all: thanks a lot for posting Triggerfinger! A great YEAH!!!
    But... I tried to dl the files of Pinkpop but part 7 and part 9 are invalid. I need them as well to have all together, you can understand that, don't you. So, can you give me a new link on FF for those parts please...
    Many greetings from Belgium, YEAH, that's where Triggerfinger comes from... and Mario lives just a few miles from me...
    Cheers,
    Risj

    1. Hi Risj !
      Always nice to have some news from Belgium, where I try to go every year (long drive from here !). Well, at least, everytime Pukkelpop's line-up looks interesting, which often happens ! :-)

      Yeah, Triggerfinger is a terrific band and on top of that, very nice people, as I could appreciate it a couple of times backstage after the show, when it was still doable here, two or three years back ! ;-)
      As for FF, I do know the issue (see "The Hives - Webster Hall" comments). Their new layout has made the servers and the access to older files really messy !
      I will try to re-zip the whole show and post new links for the down parts, hoping they will fit in with the old ones.
      It may take long. I'll let you know when it's ready !
      In the meantime, take care and say hello to Mario for me ! ;-)
      Cheers !

    1. Hi Chac,
      Thanks a lot for your quick reply, really appreciated!
      Also many thanks for the new link for part 7, worked out fine this time. But... I tried to dl part 9 again several times without any luck... very strange it's available for you...
      Anyway, can you give me a new link for part9, need it to open the rest and ofcourse to have it complete... many thanks in advance!
      By the way: ever heard of another Belgian band called Steak Number Eight? Their (second) album has been produced by Mario...
      I'll hear from you...
      Cheers,

  4. Hi back Risj,
    Here's the link to the new part 9 : http://www.filefactory.com/file/5tdyaimwgaf7/Triggerfinger_-_Pinkpop_2013.part09.rar
    I hope everything will work fine for you this time.
    I think I remember watching Steak Number Eight from a far corner of the Wablief ? tent, at Pukkelpop 2012. Not sure though, I couldn't find back some photos but I still do have some of two other great Belgian-Dutch bands from there : Wallace Vanborn (very kindly praised by the gorgeous LM Carter from Blood Red Shoes, same festival, in the BRS video here, on this blog) and particularly, Drive Like Maria !! Have a look here : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b8AkYyikKVQ
    ;-) It brings back some nice memories !!
    Cheers Risj and long live Belgium ! :-)

    1. Hi Chac,
      Thanks a lot man, part9 is on my comp...
      But I think I have a problem: don't know how to open this... it's the first time I dl a video at all... I extracted the files (video & audio) but they are in different sizes, not just one file, can you help me out with it please!!! I extracted it with WinRar (I've done that before with audio and that works out fine), but video... troubles for me... (or do you have perhaps only the audio to dl, suits me, I'm especially interested in the music, the audio...
      Hope you can help me out... above all, the other items of Triggerfinger I'm interested in too... but first this one...
      Cheers,
      Risj

  5. Hi Chac,
    Back again! I think I know why things son't work out. When I tried to extract the files, always appears a message that 2 files are corrupt. I don't know what that exactly means, but they can't be extracted. It concerns VTS_01_2.VOB and VTS_01_3.VOB I have no idea what that stands for but maybe it does ring a bell to you...
    Hope to hear from you...
    Cheers,
    Risj

  6. Hmmm ... not sure about what's going wrong here ! Have you suppressed the old parts 7 & 9 to be replaced by these new ones, with the same names ? Then, you just need to unzip part 1 and WinRar should take care of the rest all the way ! Weird ...
    Maybe the easiest way then is to grab the whole thing from there : http://zombtracker.the-zomb.com/details.php?id=46661
    You just need to sign up (if it's not done already !) and then download the show from the torrent file.
    Let me know if it's still working (hopefully !) as I may have changed the location of the folder on my computer since the first post (can't remember !).
    Cheers !

  7. Hi Chac,
    Back again! I sure did replace the new links instead of the older, but no difference. The parts (2&3) cannot be extracted. I guess something is wrong with FF. Anyway, the link for zombtracker worked out fine and that can all be extracted! So, worries all solved!
    Thanks again for the posts... going to try to dl the rest of Triggerfinger you posted... I'll be back if there's something wrong...
    By the way: do you have the recordings of the Triggerfinger concert in Le Zenith, Nantes, France on 07/10/2011? Looking out for that quite a while...
    Cheers,
    Risj

  8. Hi Risj,
    I may have found what went wrong (not sure though !). I downloaded all my own zip files and unzip them all, only part 9 failed. I'll give it another try in the next days (maybe tomorrow) with new zip files.
    Keep in touch !
    Cheers !

    1. Hi Chac,
      Thaks a lot man, but I already have Triggerfinger now from the torrent you gave me... mentioned that in a previous reply... that worked out fine.

      To finish: read the commend at the Triggerfinger AB Brussels please... tried to get this one as well but same problems...

  10. Hello Risj,
    Well ... this is really weird ! Was the file corrupt or did FF tell you it's unavailable ? For my part, I could grab it !
    Anyway, here's a new link valid link, I hope : http://www.filefactory.com/file/3kudrq5axwi9/Triggerfinger_-_AB_-_Brussels_-_04-12-10.part01.rar

    I'm getting closer to the time to renew my subscription to Filefactory and I'm really wondering if I will ! Why pay more to have less ?!!
    As for Triggerfinger in Nantes, Le Zenith, I have a few others (Muenster, Machine Du Moulin Rouge - Paris, Garorock - Marmandes, Plymouth, Liège, Angoulême, ...) but don't have this one BUT I think I can get my hands on it quite easily.
    Cheers !
