Concert Review: Mosbach, Germany - July 8, 2004
Sandra Klaaßen:
Hi all of you, my name is Sandra. I am a member of this group for about 3 years now and my first Chris de Burgh show was in 1984 in the Schleyerhalle. Since then I've visited lots of concerts. All the time I've read your comments and reviews - I never dared writing myself. But today I have to do so: Last night me and my husband arrived in Mosbach after a 2 hours drive. We were excited as it was the first show for us on this tour. This was the first time we bought 1st category tickets, 5th row last 2 places just on the right. I must say Chris de Burgh himself did a perfect show. I would have really enjoyed the songs, the music and him - but........!!! What an audience ... I have never seen or shall I say heard such a crowd of people. As far as I can say lots of them seemed to be just interested in beer, smoking, talking, and joking with friends. They didn`t bother about Chris singing or talking, argued with the security people. Did they get the tickets for free ??? Were they fans??? We asked us why they spent their evening at this place. I couldn't imagine. However the worst thing this evening happened to me in a moment I generally enjoy most because I`m not really tall. It was the moment standing in the first row singing and dancing nearly at the end of the show. A man almost twice as tall as me - ha, ha, ha - dancing beside me - seemed to have a beer or two too much -shaking his glass of beer around and pouring on the others. I have never seen such a behaviour on one of Chris' shows. Anyway on our way back home we tried to forget those bad dreams and talked about the hard job Chris did in Mosbach. He was brilliant. We are now looking for tickets for Dortmund ( if we find a babysitter) anywhere in the front rows and I'm sure the audience will be fantastic there. I hope to meet one of the group members one time. See you Sandra
