Oh yes Keith, I want to have a dvd aswell, I love most of those entries. Absolutely great stuff. A few years ago there was a similar concert, called Amsterdammed. All previous Dutch entries, and all the proceeds went to AIDS related harities. That was so good. I can remember it seeing on tv and I couldn't keep it dry seeing and hearing the lovely Maribelle performing one of Eurovision best ever entries "Ik hou van jou",.... Goosebumps.... Well done Netherlands. And good luck for next year,...

What a legacy! The Dutch have every reason to be proud of this. :) I'd have loved it if Bernadette (1983) came to sing me a song, but I guess I'd die of jealousy if *all* my favourite Dutch entries were gathered on one stage, and I wasn't able to see it. Somebody please make a DVD of this!!
