09.09.1995 - Alphaville live in Haldensleben!

 
After our return from the concert in Burg we were so exciting and wished to see AV once more live. we called the city-information of Haldensleben to get all necessary informations: Place, start, price...
What a surprice: The concert is a part of a party of the town and there's only a fee of 5 DM to join everything. That was just right for our rare housekeeping money.
It was again open air and according to the city information AV would play at 8 p.m.
We started our journey and weared the new "P.o.E."-T-Shirts we bought in Burg. We already knew the way till Burg. Then we found small streets with cobblestones and without reinforcement on the right and the left. We thought that's the end of the world. We reached Haldensleben at 6 p.m. and found the stage... I also listened already well known AV-tones. I was afraid, the concert had already started. But than we noticed it was "only" the soundcheck and I went calm again. We searched again something for dinner. Suddenly a blond girl asked us, where we bought our t-shirts. We became familiar and told her about the concert in Burg. We searched together the Merchandising for sale and she bought also such a shirt. Monika (that's her name) was already some hours in the town - and had a room in a pension only some meters away. She told us that the concert will start only at half past 10 p.m. Before was Bad Boys Blue as support act announced.
Unfortunately it started to rain. Uwe went to our car in order to fetchour umbrella. He returned together with Matthias. He also spoke to Uwe because of the t-shirt. He was very sad. He also got the information the concert would start at 8 p.m. His train back home left already at 11 p.m. So it seemed he wouldn't join the concert. Monika offered to share the room with him. That's real Fan solidarity! The concert was saved!
During the Bad Boys Blue-Show we had smalltalk. There were many people, too many for the small place And there were many drunks. Short before AV came on the stage we fight for some places near to the stage. Finally we were in the 4th or 5th row. Fortunately I had my chair along with me. So I could stand on it and see everything. This time my chair was really necessary.
The show was quite the same as in Burg, but better. Marian had more contact to the audience, we think.
Later we got to know there were some technichal problems in Burg. That's why they couldn't play so free. But we had never noticed that alot and sang every song together with Marian.The ballads "Feather and Tar" and "FY" created again the special atmosphere. mariyn is so good on stage, he's able to convey so much just with his charisma.
The top highlight was the premiere of the newest song (just 2 days old) and again such a great ballad.
As the concert was over we watched in which direction the band left. we had the plan to speak with them and to tell them how great the show was.
And we were lucky. They left to the pension in which Monika had also her room. So it was very easy to enter.
Our hearts beat faster as Marian recogniced us. It was the best moment as he said "I've seen you in teh audience".
He answered paintently all our questions. We also spoke about a little incidient. Two drunk men bumped into the first rows. 2 men from the security pull out them instantaneously of the audience. Marian told us, he thought in that moment about finish the show.
Before the band left Marian organized some merchandising for us. We stay together for a while (happy and a bit euphoric) and spoke a lot about the concert and AV in general.
Uwe and me arrived in Walsleben at daybreak. We fell into bed shattered but very satisfied.
