Hehe, recently he seems to be back into the good old naughty mood, doesn't he. :D :notworthy:
But nobody is ever taking it seriously, of course. :wink: I mean, come on, why would anybody, it's all just for fun, right? well, erm..... :oops: yeah. :twisted: :notworthy:

@ DocSommer: Many thanks for the snippet - brings back memories... :-)

@ Emma: He obviously likes to play, and he likes to see the silly grins in the audience... :lol: :wink:

@Spiggy: I doubt he perceives Schwiizerdütsch as a language - rather as a particularly nasty mental illness, and therefore wouldn't speak it, but you never know... :wink:

However, watching Ben and Chris during this tour again and again it crossed my mind what a wonderful job they do, and that the three of them are a whole now, a band in excellent shape (gastro-thingy permitting)... :D

yeah I'm also quite impressed - vons voice has nice presence in the mix. That's not always matter of course when it comes to the last songs, esp. temple :notworthy:

I hope that nobody got caught during capturing audio and/or video because I feel the need to hear more from this show :lol:

OMG. I almost forgot how great this evening was...

(But I still can't accept one of the best guitar-riffs ever coming from the doctor. Why are they doing this?)
There have been better plans
But none that I could ever understand...

oh yes, very often one can hear rather the crowd singing than Andrew ...

But not here, and it also seems a bit of an unusual version to me ...

I really hope they're going to make a new cd ... or ...
but still there are a few gigs to be done ...

I'm really beginning to wonder how - erm - certain members of this forum (yes, yes, I count myself amongst them) are going to survive the next however-long-til-another-tour. Although at least if you're on that side of the Atlantic he ventures out sporadically in between times; for those of us in the wastelands of the US, it's going to be truly awrful*. Image

Oh come on, surviving till May 3rd is challenge enough. You know, if there isn't anything on the radio about a Warsaw-Beirut-Warsaw plane crash (and I have a feeling that most probably there won't be), I'll rip my heart out and give it to my cats for dinner before I bury myself in the hole near the compost heap. :urff: :(

If you get the chance to listen to Romeo Down, do so. It was never one of my favourites, but it is now. The Zurich 09 version is truly haunting... :notworthy:

This song is an evolving monster. I first realised it during one of the M'Era Lunas, and then in Krakow 2006 I was certain, and that was 3 years ago. :!: :notworthy:

Back from Zurich.

It has been a great gig. That was an adequate compensation for the canceld gig in Budapest. :-)

Great performance, good sound, great venue, great audience. What else can you ask for.

Greetings to Eva & Eggi, XRAY999, Cyberbio and Sistersekland! Has been nice to meet you! I still have to laugh when I have to think of the moment I met Sistersekland. 8)

Oh, and I like the city. It looked quite cloudy when I arrived on Thursday but I was lucky with the weather. So I could explore the city and the lake on Friday and quite enjoyed it. :-)

I almost missed my flight back to Germany though...: When I was in the city I found a shop with Swiss Army knifes. I owned such a knife as a child but somehow lost it. So it was the right time and place to buy me a new one. Some ten minutes before I wanted to check in at the airport I remembered the knife in my backpack which was my hand luggage - I had just forgotten to put in into the suitcase. My only chance to bring it home without trouble with the security was finding a stationery shop to buy a pen and an envelope and a post office to send it home by mail. Well, I managed but it required some fast sprints through the airport building... :lol:

Few impressions of my trip:
