Saarbrücken, March 6, 2012

The second time I saw Joe and the boys in 5 months, after the October 10th show in Luxembourg. The show in Saarbrücken was great again, but how on earth can you set up chairs for a concert like this? There were about 1500 people at the show. They put up 1600 chairs, but not all of them were taken at the back, so 1400-1500 is a good guess probably. We managed to stay seated for about 1,5 minutes, and then had to get up and move forward. All of a sudden we were 5 m from the stage instead of 35, and we could see every detail. Fantastic. Joe should have called the crowd up front way earlier, but he did so just for the last song, "Just got paid". What a great finale! Sound quality at the venue, which is an old factory building, was mediocre.

I seriously considered buying  the guys on stage a few beers, but when Joe later told the crowd that he had to take a pee for about 1 hour and a half so badly I thought "Good not to have offered them a beer, his bladder would have exploded :-)"
Joe wanted to go shopping during the day, but found none of the stores were open. The same thing happened in Luxembourg a few months back , where Joe came into this massive shopping mall just across from the Rockhal, and all the shops were closed too. Poor Joe, never gets a chance to spend his money.

Anyway, thanks for a nice evening again, and hope to see you around sooner or later. Keep it up!
