Under
the red moon of Brunsbüttel - A concert review by Uli
Neumann:
Each
SAILOR concert is very special, the Brunsbüttel concert
within the scope of the "NDR 1 (North German
broadcasting company) Welle Nord Sommertour" was no
exception.
Brunsbüttel, that is a small town only away 35km (22mls)
from my home town Heide (which is famous for Germany's
largest market place) and only about one hour from my
actual living-place Wedel (near Hamburg).
Actually the concert should took place near the sluices
of the Kiel Channel but was relocated to the place in
front of the "Elbe Forum" because a grumbler
living near the sluices pronounced to make trouble
because of the noise of such events.
So this was a place without ships a perfect background
for a SAILOR concert but this place has the advantage of
lots of parking lots very close to the venue. A
fast-food-restaurant is close to the venue, too, and
offered alternatives to the overpriced chippies.
Before the concert the citizens of Brunsbüttel hat to
cope a task. There had to me at least 300 poeple whon
should be ready to color their hair in red, blue and
white. Finally there were more than 1.000 poeple who did
so.
The bands Freestyle and Hot Banditoz brought the audience
in a good mood for the SAILOR concert. In the meantime a
partial lunar eclipse colored parts of the moon in a dark
red color. A SAILOR concert under a lunar eclipse, I
guess, this was the first time this happened.
Regrettably Katrin was not there - exceptional for a
SAILOR concert in Germany. She runs this website and is
the best source for all SAILOR-related information.
SAILOR started with "A Glass of Champagne" as
usual, played most of their hits and some cover-versions.
The audiance got more and more excited instead of
"Zugabe! Zugabe!" (encore) the audience
shouted "SAILOR! SAILOR!" Ive never heard
this before. But after a little more than one hour the
concert was over.
Ive been looking forward to this concert for a long
time but then it was over much to fast leaving photos,
TV-clips and memories of a wonderful and unforgetable
evening. Thank you Grant, Henry, Phil, Oliver and Georg
(for creating these wonderful songs).
