It's 12 o'clock when school is
finally over and I reach the office of my brother Karsten. Almost
two hours later we drive to Recklinghausen where SAILOR are going
to perform
during the tour that they are doing together with some other
bands.
The problem with this tour is that SAILOR and the other bands
always have to perform in two different towns in Germany on one
evening. Today they will first perform in Gütersloh and then
come to Recklinghausen in order to do their second show. That
means that we won't be able to see them as long as usual because
the will surely be very tired when they arrive.
Many fans who haven's seen SAILOR live in the new line-up yet
want to come today.
At 4.20 pm Karsten and I reach the concert hall in
Recklinghausen. We take all the stuff we need for the concert and
go to the concert hall in order to wait there. A short time later
our friend Christel arrives, and some other fans, Claudia and
Stephan arrive later, too.
The doors of the concert hall are officially opened for the
audience at 7 pm. Karsten and I meet all the other fans right in
front of the stage: Christel, Andreas, Claudia, Stephan, Heiner,
Inka and Manuela.
The Oldie Night starts at 8 pm with the first band: The Barons.
Then we watch the performances of John-Paul Young and Jeff
Christie.
SAILOR finally arrive at the concert hall at 11.30 pm, having
performed in Gütersloh a few hours earlier.
It's 12.30 am when the Nickelodeon is finally brought on the
stage. Another 25 minutes later the stage is finally ready for
SAILOR, and their show starts with "A Glass Of
Champagne". Then they play "La Cumbia", "Give
Me Shakespeare", "The Old Nickelodeon Sound",
"Vera From Veracruz", "Mack The Knife" (as
usual sung by Phil), "The Secretary", "Cotton Eye
Joe", "Pop Muzik", "Girls Girls Girls",
"Catwalk Girls" and the Champagne Reprise.
Today we finally see SAILORs new encore for the first time. It's
a very funny performance where they first dress as captains and
then start to strip to the music of "In The Navy" and
"Hot Stuff" which the boys call the "full
monty". - MARVELLOUS!!
Afterwards the audience is in such a great mood that SAILOR have
to do a second encore, and they perform the "Latino
Medley".
After SAILOR's show all the other people leave the concert hall,
while we wait for the boys. Henry, Phil and Grant come to us a
few minutes later, and Peter also joins us a short time later
together with his daughter Lucy. We talk for a while, before we
all leave the concert hall at 2.30 am in order to say goodbye to
our SAILORs and wave, while they drive to their hotel.
