Nicole Buhr and Anke Laubensdörfer: Hi friends, Tired but still high on emotion from last nights concert we decided to share our fun with you ;-) Anke has to look after her little boy so I have to do the writing... When we arrived in Nurnberg we soon met some list friends but could not join them into the venue yet as we had to wait for Kai and her son Jason who came all the way from the USA to the concert and we still had their tickets. Fortunately they arrived just in time some minutes before the concert started. Chris was in good mood and talked a lot. And he got a "real" rose from Chris W. this time *g* Chris had to laugh when he read the little card Chris W. had attached to the rose. During St. Peter's Gate we all stood up to dance and soon many people came down the aisle to join in the fun. But it was a bit early to do so and they all had to sit down on the floor or stand on the side for the next few songs. During the Britney Spears part Chris got many cheers and kisses and hugs and he seemed to really enjoy it :-) Then at last the dancing part began after LIR and many people joined us at the front of the stage. What a great atmosphere!!!!!! Of course Read my name was the highlight again (after the concert a couple asked Anke and me where we got the T-shirts from - we were wearing the Read my name ones - and we said that they were self made and explained that the names they could see during the song were names of fans and they were really impressed!). Soon the concert finished with SONY - but NO! - this man is absolutely incredible and kept on singing some of his favourite songs like he already did in Hamburg and Bad Bruckenau. Fantastic!!!!! The concert ended at 22:50h. Well done Chris! After the concert we met Kai and her son again and we decided to have a drink together with Chris W., Andrea and Dany at their hotel bar. But due to a public holdiday in Bavaria the bar was closed :-( and we had to get some drinks and pretzels at a petrol station nearby. As Kai and Jason were soooo tired we drove them back to their hotel and then went back to join the others again in their hotel room where we chatted and had fun until late into the night. We arrived at Anke's house at around 2am absolutely tired but happy :-)) Now we still enjoy being together and talking about the concert and we are already looking forward to the next one in Bamberg :-)) See you there! Cheers Nugie and Anke Monika Maid: Like "Lord thunder and lightning, rain falling down" was the real situation of weather when Chris de Burgh came to play his songs in the Meistersingerhalle in Nürnberg in June 2004. The way to see him has not been so far for me, only 100 kms to drive away from this little town where I'm living in since a few years, where never somethings happens what could be better than to see Chris de Burgh in concert. It must have been a long way for him to come to us and to sing here in Germany. One hour before he began his concert with a wonderful piano part "When winter comes" a fruity bowl had been offered to us near the entrance to the concerthall. The whole room listened and looked to the stage in silence and suddenly Chris appeared in a way that I have never thought that he could be. He told us from his wish that Bush should stop the war and at once he got the whole sympathy of the audience. He told us about his family and his son leaving with his heart and his wish to bring him back to him. He tried to remind us to D-day, what I've seen on television some days before here in Germany. Getting red roses he was inspired to tell us the story of a Queen who couldn't be married and we heard "Rose of England". I missed nothing of him. Some wonderful songs like "Lady in red" and a surprise, when someone called the wish to hear the song "Perfect day", "High on Emotion" and all the titels from his new album "Road to freedom" could make me feel that all the years I've not heard anything new from him are over now. Chris was now, just in the nick of time, comming near to my eyes and ears this year. And forever I won't miss him in my life with all his own songs full of emotions that I've heard. After these own creations of songtextes and wonderful melodies he showed us another Chris, just when he began to play songs from the Beatles and some songs he likes very much from others. His concert was going on to be a party for him, when we all want him to come back to the stage. Now Chris showed us that he is really a ever staying young musicer, who can share with us all great moments of music in our generation and that he has a big background in music. With a wonderful feeling to have seen the man on the covers in reality after 15 years live here in the near of my hometown, singing "Lady in red" lonesome in my car and late in the night I came back home knowing that I want to hear his wonderful voice and his songs again and again. And I hope that will happen the next time. Yours sincerely Monika Maid |
