Kensington & DI-RECT Live bij Vrienden van Amstel Live 2020 REACTION

[@dianakerssemeeckers9324]

Hi, these are 2 Dutch bands performing together on stage. The 2 singers are the 2 lead-singers. The one with the black hat is the lead singer for Kensington and the one with the curly hair is the lead singer for Di-rect. Both are 2 great bands with a huge fan-base in Holland

[@Detrucci]

Thank you for clearing that up for us :)

[@leeblack3335]

The two drummers in sync throughout the show AAA+++

[@janeverse4555]

The most recent hit of Kensington is "Uncharted". The link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z4aoqYyelNuYmZY Also from the Vrienden van Amstel live 2020.

[@innk5565]

Watching this makes me feel like I wanna go to concerts again!! I'm yearning for it, I wanna be in the crowd and sing along! When I can go, I will appreciate these things so much more. I'll never take it for granted again.

[@Detrucci]

Definitely need to go to concerts again :)

[@dobberdop]

Saw some of your reactions in the past..and now this came in my screen.. and I had to watch reaction.. And i enjoyed it!! Yes it gave me energy ...

[@Detrucci]

Glad you enjoyed 😊

[@DeeDee80]

I cannot say anything about Di-Rect because I didn't listen to them until now. I only heard about this band last year when their former lead-singer, Tim Akkerman, joined Beste Zangers in the edition we all watched because of Floor Jansen. I do know Kensington however and they are awesome live. Was supposed to see them for the 5th time in March but for now it's postponed to October :/ One of my favorite bands. A lot of albums to go through but their last 2 ("Control" and "Time") are masterpieces. Late last year they released the most recent album, "Time" and I did not stop listening to it until now. Great songs.

[@sannesss1997]

Thanks for reacting to this!!! Love these bands!! 😁

[@helenooft9664]

Yes the Dutchies loves live music, festivals, concerts, they enjoy life with each other, like you did on that moment of listning.

[@5223lp51]

It's funny but although I'm from The Netherlands a lot of things I see with you and I like watching it with you better than I do alone. Like this. Thanks for that.

[@Detrucci]

Thats awesome 😊 I enjoy experiencing it all with you all too

[@theGoogol]

Given what Dinand has been through, the way he carries this concert adds to his personality. Dude ... you've earned your place in heaven, never mind in our hearts.

[@vbzwd24]

This performane...this collaboration is what it's all about at Vrienden van Amstel Live!! It's an annual accurrance and almost impossible to get tickets! And these two phenomonal bands...well..I don't think I have to say that they are the 2 most popular rockbands that we have. They are great!!!!

[@janrogge6582]

We have a saying here in the Netherlands ,If it aint Dutch it aint much.

[@janeverse4555]

Jan, jammer dat ze dat bij de radio ook niet in de gaten hebben.

[@okidoki878]

@@janeverse4555 moet je de juiste zender opzetten.

[@janeverse4555]

@@okidoki878 meestal staat mijn radio op 100% NL. Maar ook daar hoor je weinig van dit soort muziek. En helemaal geen metal. Nederlandse artiesten worden hier volgens mij slecht bediend.

[@AlexT74]

"Vrienden van Amstel Live" means "Friends of Amstel Live". Amstel is a beer brand and main sponsor. It is a series of concerts in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, where various Dutch artist cover other songs. Edit: maybe you like this as well. The Ladies of Soul: kzbin.info/www/bejne/m4uUfKpmg5yEg6s. Live in Amsterdam.

[@ChrisEchoes]

AlexT74 they not only do covers but also their own songs. The format is however that they are encouraged to have other artists guest on their performances. The Amstel gigs are always held in January are sort kicking off the new year after the Christmas. Basically anyone who is hot in Dutch music will be there. I think there are something like 12 or 13 consecutive nights of these all star shows.

[@henkav1]

You probably didn’t saw it, but there were Two drummers. Kensington and Di-Rect had there own band!

[@janeverse4555]

This part of the concert is called heldenblok. It means it's time for our hero's.

[@theGoogol]

Wow ... I enjoyed this reaction so much I had to come back and like -_- Never forget to like!

[@melissatak7336]

Dutch Pride 😍💪🏼😎☝🏼the individual music from the Dutch bands are amazing and insane ❤️saw them both live and they will rock the night away with the crowd👌amazing to see and to hear. The band that starts in the clip is Direct, leadsinger Marcel Veenendaal (curly),on gitar/2e singer Frank van zoest aka Spike,on drums (the blond guy )Jamie Westland on bassgitar Bas van Wageningen the second male that starts singing lead is from Kensington,leadsinger Eloi Youssef (long darkbrown hair)and the remaining band Is also Kensington.

[@KayleeMathijsNoah26]

You should check 'No Me' from Kensington! Kensington is a rockband, Di-rect used to be a rockband but they're turning more into a rock/soul band nowadays

[@janeverse4555]

Kensington and DiRect are true friends. And everybody in the music world in NL want to be there because of the atmosphere. This year one of the bands (I don't remember which one) was not invited to join the club, the other one invited them to perform together. And this is the result. The performance is called "Heldenblok". Held = hero; blok = part. So it is the part of the show where they honor their music heros. So they are the real friends of Amstel.

[@romee5557]

Love kensington💕

[@gerdabrinkerink3241]

The curly head is a member off the band through a contest.....many years ago. he can really sing anything

[@Detrucci]

He is fantastic!

[@paggasnaan]

When it was certain that the 2 bands would perform together, they decided to play songs of their heroes that they grew up with. Have you also seen that there are 2 drummers? I personally thought it was really cool.

[@janeverse4555]

They are the two best rock bands in the Netherlands.They both have their own repertoire. If you want to hear more of them. This is one of the best of Di-Rect. It's called "All in vain". Link": kzbin.info/www/bejne/bnureJytftNqn5o

[@BoG_City]

Fifa 98 was the shit! On topic: Great dutch bands who brought rock to Vrienden van Amstel Live! I especially love it that the drummers of both bands are killing this at the same time

[@Detrucci]

It really was haha. Honestly this is a unique thing to me, I have never seen 2 bands perform fully at the same time

[@bertstaal7460]

best live ever 2bands that's killing

[@davey2487]

I somehow knew that song was in a FIFA game. How the hell did I know that?! I was born in '97 and it was in FIFA 98😂

[@marianwillems9242]

Di-rect was the group from Tim Ackerman, you see by Beste Zangers!!!!!

[@Detrucci]

That is awesome. We will need to listen to them :)

[@Tom-tk5ej]

There must be something in the water .. it looks like all the dutch can sing. Great video 👍

[@JackyOlala2023]

Good music is a joy for life

[@Detrucci]

Facts

[@StevanOutdoor]

It's two separate bands, an orchestra and a choir to please the Dutch public.

[@irmawolfje1443]

Since you liked Killing In The Name so much, you should def check out Kensington's St Helena live !

[@nielsk.2339]

The live-version at Pinkpop!!

[@peterpeeters1138]

2 complete band, also 2 drums 😅

[@Detrucci]

Friends from Amstel (vrienden van Amstel) is a yearly event where many artists and bands perform together. If you like that guy his voice I would suggest to do a reaction on his version of Stay from Rhiana. Sad enough there is no KZbin link but there is a Facebook one facebook.com/538nl/videos/264606461160106/ To me this is better than the original.

When you had open your eyes, you will had seen two drummers! This was in the Ziggo Dome in Amsterdam! Two different bands!

[@Detrucci]

True but some bands have 2 drummers live so its not always what it looks like

[@henkav1]

Detrucci I agree, but this time there were two. But my compliments for your comment! (Said a Mann of 73 years old from the Netherlands)

[@elvison4759]

Are you homophobe? First the remark 'that's gay' when the guy makes a heart, than about the two guys kissing??? REALLY?

[@tubie33]

and when two girls kiss...."that is sweet"...I am so tired of especially men thinking two girls kissing is "sweet" and two guys kissing is "are there two guys kissing?????????!!!!!!! what the ****" thing...it is just two people kissing! nothing more nothing less. done.

[@okidoki878]

[@MultiGerel]

And?

[@fredschepers5149]

Something can be "gay" without refering to a sexual preference. Gay is an old English word for "old fashion nice". So the question is actually: "Are you both narrow-minded and stuck in your own likkle world? And the two "girls" btw kissing.... Isn't that nice? Or do you two belong to the get pissed brigade and pretend it's your own concert annoying everyone else? I mean: Really?
