Rottweil report and photos
Posted by Paul on August 16, 2003 Hi everybody :-)
After a very long time (more than two months) without Manfred Mann's Earth Band live on stage we had been very happy to welcome our favourite band at Rottweil
(South Germany) which is only 30 minutes from our home. The location, an old power station built in 1915, was giving the gig a very specially atmosphere: big smokestacks, rooms with a height of more than 20 meters and a
huge concert hall that was illuminated with indirect red lamps.
May be this one reason that MMEB and the crowd (about 1500 people - the gig was sold out weeks before) both were in a very good mood yesterday. When
the band was entering the stage exactly at 8.30 p.m. and starting with the Intro the complete filled hall was screaming, jumping and clapping their hands. The setlist of course was the wellknown, this time no Dacing but
Angels - fantastic :-))) Martha and Spirits, brilliant, seemed to be perfect.
Great guitar solos of Mick including a very special show that he was earning additional applause, Noel singing and joking with the crowd
that really everybody was integrated in the concert. And the boss, wow, very powerfully, smiling, singing, clapping on his keyboards - absolutely great :-))))))
Steve on his base guitar brillant too and making a very
good show with his "brother" Noel during the whole gig. Last but not least our power machine Geoff beating on his drums like it couldn't be better.
As the mood was so good and the crowd felt like
electrified the setlist was spontaneous changed which meaned that the instrumental version of For You was presented before Davy - this is it that makes MMEB to one of the best live bands all over the world :-))))))))
Thanks to the whole band and the crew for this unforgettable concert, and all family members we met in the front row :-) If you are interested on the photo highlights of the gig please take a look at my website
www.bossenmaier.de and follow the navigation on the left "Manfred Mann" - "Photos".
Also the badge collection has been updated (choose the link "Buttons") and the family too. Hope to
see you all very soon which means on 13 September at Heilsbronn that is very near to Nürnberg.
Pink greetings ;-)) Pink Panther and Mrs. Panther :-)
Gig in Braunschweig, 16 August Posted by felicitas on August 17, 2003 Hi there.
Much time has
passed, since the last gig me and my sister have been to. But yesterday was a brilliant day: mmeb in my hometown. My sister couldn't come so I went alone.
And it was huge. The best concert I've ever seen (including
Bob Dylan and Rolling Stones). My father said that in the back the sound wasn't very good. But it was his decision to stay there ;)
I want to make a long story short: The guitar-solos really shook me. It was so
beautiful, I nearly broke into tears!
I hardly dare to tell my sister... :)
Greetings and promise to meet you again, soon. felicitas [Top] |
