We had found out that SAILOR
should perform at a gig in our hometown Kassel in the
"Documenta"-hall. Unfortunately Katrin and I also found
out that only sponsors and invited guests of "Radio
FFH" were allowed to see the gig because it was the birthday
party of this radio channel. For Katrin and me this meant: we had
to stay outside.
Next to the concert hall we waited for SAILOR since 2 pm. I
helped Wolfie (the roadie and van-driver of the Nickelodeon) to
get the Nickelodeon into the concert hall. All the other bands
appeared that were going to play at the show tonight: Haddaway,
Boney M, Pur, The Weather Girls.
Suddenly, it had already become dark outside, SAILOR arrived too.
They were pleased to see some well-known faces like ours, and so
we got the chance to see their soundcheck. Then Katrin and I
walked to the hotel together with Henry, Phil, Grant and Georg.
The hotel was in a big shopping center, and there was also a CD
store. We went into the store, and Grant bought a SAILOR CD (the
one from 1991) for a friend who wasn't able to find it in
England.
The highlight of the evening (at leat we thought it was the
highlight...) was the dinner we had with SAILOR. It was
"our" shy Georg who suddenly started to sing "All
I Need Is A Girl", and Grant, Henry, Phil and ourselves
started to sing along.
Then - thanks to the band - we were the only "normal"
spectators thsi evening who were allowed to attend the show! And
the show was really great!! Especially because SAILOR were the
last band and the highlight of the evening, while all the other
bands only performed three or four songs each. That felt great.
They did a 45 minutes show and their first three songs were
broadcast live on the radio.
