Andrea Lucas: Just came back home from my weekend-trip to Ireland. Which means hardly 24 hours in Ireland (including a very short night), on the road in Germany for about 4 - 5 hours to Frankfurt-Hahn airport and back plus a 2 hours flight to Kerry Airport close to Killarney. Thank you Claudia for the first review. I can only say that the concert was fantastic. Like Claudia said some surprises. A few older songs were hardly to be recognised at the beginning. And I had the feeling that the guys on the stage had a laugh about us in the audience as we racked our brains to notice which song it was. Like with Lady In Red which is usually recognized immediately. "Where We Will Be Going" was arranged in another way as well. It was great to hear that song again. It seemed like Chris and the boys really enjoyed playing together again. And though I love Chris' solo shows, it was very nice to see him with a band again for a change. I think Doris asked for the morph-video. Well, it wasn't in the show yesterday, but will be ready when the tour starts, as we were told. Just like Claudia I can't remember all the songs. But from my all-time favourites he sang "The Same Sun" and "The Tower" to name just two. But I think he didn't do "Shadow Of The Mountain", though I might be wrong. And Claudia is right, the new boys in the band create an "almost" orchestra sound. And there is a new instrument in the more quiet part of the show. I liked that very much. Yep, Chris W. should still be on her way home and she has a setlist, so she can tell you about the other songs. Well, I'm up to bed - like Claudia not enough sleep in the last days. Take care, Andrea Chris Raymond: Me too - just back from Killarney that is!! Both Claudia and Andrea have given some great details about the gig.. Please don't ask for more hints about the surprises 'cause it would spoil the magic for everyone - and believe me it was just magic... :-)) I will just say also that there was some awesome footage shown with one of the 'epics' - just awesome... I can give a set list as Sheila G, Alison B and I managed to write them all down and remember between us (we didn't get a set list either) Here goes:- The Storyman Theme Where We Will Be Going On World The Storyman Sailing Away The Traveller Spirit The Same Sun The Mirror of the Soul A Spaceman Came Travelling Spanish Train The Leader trilogy Interval A Spaceman Came Travelling The Tower Broken Wings Borderline Leningrad Grace of a Dancer Love of The Heart Diveine The Lady in Red Moonlight & Vodka Missing You The Words I Love You Bal Masque Living in the World My Father's Eyes Say Goodbye To It All Don't Pay the Ferryman High On Emotion (Most favorite oldie!)

Also particular thanks for giving us Spanish Train again with Band - that was indeed the icing on my (fruit)cake ! ;-)) The very best bit for me was when Chris said hello to his Mum who was in the audience :-)) Thanks to Sheila and Alison for being such super travelling companions - hope the kangeroo petrol in the car wasn't too bad!LOL Bye, Chris R |
