Expect the unexpected - A concert review by Katrin Wagner:

Last night at 8 pm I received a phonecall from Henry, saying that he noticed this concert wasn't mentioned on my homepage and asking whether we could come to it. The reason why it wasn't on my homepage is quite simple: we didn't know about it. So I was rather surprised to find out that it's not even very far from us, only 120 km away in the small East German town Bad Salzungen.
It reminds me of my golden SAILOR rule number one: Expect the unexpected...
So, of course, Karsten and I have decided to drive and meet at my flat at 2.30 pm to start our journey. We're both not well today, and I've had a horrible migraine all day, but we just don't want to miss this concert, having not seen SAILOR with Oliver back in the band.
And so we're on the road a little later and all goes well, until I get very sick, first on the motorway and then again shortly before we reach our destination. Fortunately, after that, I at least start to feel a little better.
SAILOR haven't arrived at their hotel yet, so that we wait for the rain to stop and then walk over to the market place where the city festival will start at 7.30 pm. And, approaching the stage, we can already see the three Marsh boys... and Phil too. We watch and film SAILOR's soundcheck and are more pleasantly surprised by the great sound.
After the soundcheck we briefly say hello to the boys and then return to the city festival while they have dinner with the promoter of the show. We also decide to find something to eat and drink while we wait for SAILOR's show to start at 10.30 pm.
When it's finally time for "our boys" we rush to the front of the stage and then enjoy what we can only call a fantastic SAILOR concert. It's great to hear Ollie's voice back in SAILOR again, and Tom also does a great job on all songs. We're only a little scared that the windows might break in all surrounding buildings when he hits the drums. (Just kidding!)
In addition to the usual set we also get some more wonderful SAILOR live-favourites like "Blame It On The Soft Spot" and "Traffic Jam". Phil sings "Mack The Knife" and "Karma Chameleon", and Henry is responsible for the overall fun on stage, as usual.
At the end of the show, Tom plays a stunning drum solo and then leaves the stage again, while the "Full Monty" is only performed by Phil, Henry and Oliver... I think I shall call it the "Threesome" from now on! And yes, I said I'd be kind of ok with "Wooly Bully" being back now... but play the song twice instead of a SAILOR-encore?? Oh well. They know what I think.
The amazing quality and fun of this whole show just makes me wish that we were surrounded by more loyal SAILOR fans and friends who could enjoy this feeling too...
After the show we meet the SAILORs again at their hotel. Tom and Ollie are off to an after-show-party nearby, while Phil and Henry stay with Karsten and us and talk for a while.
Then, after a long tiring drive, we're home at 4.30 am... I guess it's time for some homepage updates after some sleep, eh?!
