I went up to Glasgow to see this show & meet up with Kristina. This was the first week that Kristina got paid,so, it was burning a hole in her pocket 😉 After a false start where she went to the wrong hotel, everything was good. Wetherspoons always rules…even when there’s a “pig squealing” in there 🙂 Had forgot just how small the Cathouse was,so, by time we got there it was rather busy . It was still a decent gig though. Afterwards, we hung around & met all the band.
A ridiculous VIP M&G where we were not allowed to take photos ! Both myself & Cat were disgusted after it had previously said that photo opportunity was INCLUDED in the package.My mate Venelin, whos from Bulgaria, attended this one
This was more about meeting old friends who used to go to the GA shows. I went with no expectations of how GA would be & i’m happy to say the performance was great. But firstly, there was a nice little meet & greet which Henning & Marc had arranged (Such a shame that last minute Marc couldn’t make it there). The guys brought us all beers & it was great seeing everyone & having nice little talks. A shame that Stude didn’t join though. Never did find out why 🙁 Of course, as ever, Sandra got swamped by people & i didn’t even realise she was there until she was leaving! So didn’t have much of a chance to talk, but at least i managed a quick photo 😉 As ever, i mentioned i’m still awaiting their return to the UK…
The Gig : From the off, Sandra seemed on fire as though she was trying to prove a point. Well, you certainly won me over! This show was up there with the energy levels & commitment of the “final” tour. The fact that Sandra crowd surfed is always an indicator that it’s a good show 😉 (I’m sure that’s still not a regular occurrence ?) Something a really do like is that it’s just the originals up there on stage again. I never did get it when they had the extra guitarist, sorry. I prefer pure GA 😉 There’s a part in the show where Sandra gets the guys in the crowd to take off their shirts. Of course, she “picked on” me, so i had to do it….that’s the first time in 35 years of going to gigs that i’ve done that….& probably the last 😉 It was such a party atmosphere, it had to be done. It was great to be amongst old friends on the front row. I really enjoyed the night & for sure wanna go see GA again some time….
It was great seeing so many old friends who i’d not seen for years : THAT was pretty damn special in itself.
