Claudia Gerike: Hi folks, Would love to tell you a bit of our lovely week-end in Beverungen. We started saturday morning round 11 a.m. On the train from Nordheim to Beverungen Willi heard someone talking of Chris de Burgh and so we decided to come a bit closer to hear what it was about. It was the young man Ina already talked about from Israel who came just for to visit the show. He is not on the list, but got in contact with so many of us, so may be he will join - who knows. We had a nice talk on the train and after we parted we went to out hotel. When walking round the town a bit we met our friend again (Beverungen is not really big...) After finding out where the venue would be and having an ice cream we went back to the hotel and later met with Ilka, Andrea, Chris and Steward. It was nice to see them all again :-)))))) They went to the venue bit before us, and when we walked in we nearly ran into Jutta, Ela, Heike S., Ina and .... :-)))) They told us they got the info that Chris just finished in Berlin. So... we knew he would be late. When the guy on the microphone told us later, Chris would fly to Kassel Calden, my first reaction was "oh, he is wrong in this plans, the concert in Calden is next week" :-) We did chat for a while with the others and I then saw that I got an SMS from Lore, wishing us a great time. Thank you Lore, it was so lovely you thought of us :-)))) We saw our friend from Israel again (sorry, so bad in remembering names...) and he introduced us to Silvie from Strassburg, she is on the list as well, and even she as also been to Dortmund I did not remember her, but it was really nice to meet you, Silvie, now !! I looked out for Heike L. but unfortunatly I could not see you, where have you been?? Or did you say anything to us and I just did not realize??? Well, finally the concert started at about 8.50 p.m. and it was GREAT!!!!!! Please do not ask me about set lists, I am always not good in remembering things like that, but as far as I saw from the Bremen set list, he did not play so much different songs. My personal highlights have benn Transmission ends, Shine on, and up here in heaven. Willi said, he was very happy that Chris did only play his own songs. Sure, the beatles are very nice, but Chris did so many great songs, so he was glad Chris only played them. Even the sky looked a bit gray, the weather stayed with us. I was very happy with our seats in the C block row 6. Even I thought the block would be in the middle of the stage (it was on the right side, there was no middle block) from that row you had a great view on the stage. The acustic from that seats also has been wonderful. For Willi this is much more importent then sitting may be in row 1 with a not so well acustic, this can happen sometimes. Of cause we have been among the people dancing in the front during the last part of the show :-)))) As it was already told, Chris made some jokes, one thing was about that the place seamed to be a farming area. We really set in the fields, what a lovely atmosphere :-))) Well, 2 hours and about 10 or 15 minutes, and then it was all over :-(((( To short, but Chris was in such a great mood and his voice was so brilliant, the people have been so wonderful and I guess many of them have been very surprised when he came down from the stage, running round (Britney part.) As we set in the middle of the row, I could not see him at all that time, but I did before, so I was happy for the others who got that chance. After the show we and the others from the list stood by the stage for a while until a nice woman told us to leave because they wanted to put down the stage. After some drinks with the others we finally went back to our hotel, tired but very happy for we had a wonderful evening. |
