Since our last concert were many things
happened: the Moonofficeclub was reorganized, that's why we worked again
active for the Fanclub. Ralf and Bianka (good friends since 86) did the
Merchandising like profies. We had a date for the Gardelegener concert.
Before we departured we printed some visiting cards to make promotion for
our Fanclub .
Like everytime, if we go with Alphaville
in the area of Sachsen-Anhalt we have to drive above little streets and
this time also above lanes. Stendal were completely blocked, if we had
tried to drive through the city we never had arrived in Gardelegen. We
drove simply behind the natives cross above the fields . step by step we
reached Gardelegen in time . As we saw the first posters "see Alphaville
live" , at once the typical nervousness of the concerts came . We had no
problems to find the LIW-hall, because there were signposts on the mainstreet
... what's to do at first? right the Ritual: eating ! Satisfied we gone
to the place of the event. There we recognized a white car (Ford) with
sign Alphaville,and we saw that it also came from far away (seen on the
characteristic mark of the car). And on the entrance we knew whose the
car it is: Tobias! He also was in Burg and Haldensleben. Now we took the
chance to know each other better. We told especially many things above
Alphaville into the Internet, 'cause Tobias is a specialist for it . We
haven't internet but we plan it in the future. (NOW IT`S THIS FUTURE)
Than somebody else came and we found out
he was from the same town like Tobias. He was very surprised, because he
thought , He would be the only one Alphaville-fan in Hamburg. He was interested
also for our Fanclub, and we were naturally very happy about . It came
also two Fans from Netherlands. They did the a long way , 'cause in next
time Alphaville presumable not will play live in the Netherlands . on the
entrance we would very careful checked. We were able although to take in
our camera. Than we talked very long with Ralf and Bianka. And said hello
to Marion. We could take a look into their fanzine and got allowance to
lay our visiting cards on the Merchandisingtable what's we naturally at
once bought was a new Tour-T-shirt. step by step all Fanclubmembers came
in front of the stage. We have heard that today and on the following two
concerts liverecordings for a livealbum will record. This Album maybe will
published through the Moon Office club.But that's not official till today.
the concert began at 21.00 o'clock and
we stood in the first row. The Program was a bit different to the last
year. They played : Fools, a Victory of love, jet set, Ascention day, Euphoria,
Feathers and tar, sounds like a Melodie, wish you were dead, And I Wonder
, Dance with me and forever young. and as the bonustracks Big in Japan
and Apollo.
Jet set and Dance with me are live very
good . The absolute toptrack is the new song Wish you were dead. Its Rhythm
get at once into the legs and Marian sings the lyrics (we could imagine
is a dark lyric) full of irony and a little bit happy. That gives the song
a special touch. The version of big in Japan is also otherwise, not more
with so much guitars, but more Keyboards. All in all a super show, also
if originally it should be longer. Peace on Earth,Ivory Tower and Astral
body they played not, 'cause the hall wasn't sold out at first and second
they had 4 more concerts on the following days and Marian shall save his
voice . That's why it was no Fanparty after the show. We stayed to make
propaganda for our fanclub and the Merchandising sold good. As we had to
say Goodbye, Marion asked us to come to Königs Wusterhausen , 'cause
it would be not so far away from our home. We told that we would like to
come but there's a problem : it's Ilwas birthday and we invited some guests.
As joke Marion told us to make the party on another day and to celebrate
together in Königs Wusterhausen. What a chance!
