Finding your way around Munich with the car is a pain...Finding your way around Munich with the car while being utterly excited and with wobbly legs sucks...But after getting lost countles times and breaking a million traffic rules I did arive at my destination after all - and most importantly- in one piece...
While absorbing the beautiful venue - an art nouveau hall next to the river- and soaking in the special atmosphere - Yes, there was something in the air that night- time flew...
And then there they were . It was so surreal first - standing in the second row watching them perfrom...Mesmerising! I couldn't avert my eyes -or ears- from Blixa though...Despite his age, his aura and the power of his voice knocks you over!
The dynamic between band and audience was simply fantastic - they seemed to enjoy themselves as much as we were...and so they turned an ordinary evening into a feast for the senses!
But after more than two hours, a lot of old and new earworms and two encores they called it a night - with Blixa blowing kisses to the audience...
After they departed we were left drunken with bliss but also stiff with the cold of the sudden division...
As soon as I awoke from my temporary stiffness I tried to get my hands on a setlist - and succeeded!!! And just when I thought it couldn't get any better, I ran into Jochen Arbeit
-in due course guitarist of the Einstüzende Neubauten...He signed my setlist!!! WAH!!!! Oh brother...
Here's the typed version of my signed setlist:
