Everything on this day was perfect, except for a few mistakes by the band, but everyone has a bad hair day every now and then… The weather was nice, the Brauhaus was a nice place to arrange for a meeting with the following great Roger-fans: Simon, Jens, Emil, Rainer, Philippe, Jan and Nelly. Was good fun, people!
The Arena was great and we had good seats opposite the stage. The sound was totally amazing, and far better than in Antwerp and Rotterdam. Welcome To The Machine remains my favourite performance on this tour. I don’t know what happened at the beginning of Breathe, but for a bar or two there were only guitars, synths and bass. Ah, well…the rest of the show totatlly made up for that, with once again a BRILLIANT performance of Money. The Amused to Death-songs keep on improving. The audience was great, I thought. Silent when the band was playing, and going mad when applausing
No more lip-syncing for Roger on Every Strangers Eyes and he sounded great! The sound of Roger’s voice along with the backing vocals is WONDERFUL to hear, and it was LOUD! Also, Comfortably Numb was very loud but absolutely stunning! Wonderful guitar solo’s!
A wonderful day, a good gig despite the few mistakes, a night to remember!
Cheers, Dan
