Just a few pics of todays souncheck
Well I cant add much more to Pedro’s blog other that apologise to everyone I came into contct with for drinking too much coffee / rocket fuel … SORRY …
First – thanks to Donna for sorting o notes of ut my blog in wrong place/spelling errors from last night
Well doesn’t look like my pics will upload tonight as t’internet connection has slowwwwed right down – so I’ll get the up when we get to the next venue tomorrow.
No huge tour update blog from me today … in fact my mind has been elsewhere today … thinking of home … and Donna and Sabs especially as Sabs isnt feeling too well at the mo … But hey you have to take the ruff with the smooth on tour AND if shez feeling better they are coming over for the gig on Saturday!! Fingers crossed then.
Well the guys were in great form after thier day off. We’ve driven 400k south for this set of gigs, MrRob & I deciding to set off straight after the Osnabruck gig – we arrived in Augsburg yesterday and after a wander round town parked up at the venue.
Having seen the blogs and bulletins, the piccis all the news coming from the tour…… Sabra and myself missed the guys more than ever. So spontaneously booked a trip for the weekend. ….we were going to surprise the guys. Made sure Mrrob didn’t get suspicious so told him we would be taking a well earned trip to Camden for the weekend;)
Well it was unlikely that tonight was gonna better Bochum … with no big surprises for me and a nuch smaller Sunday evening audience … not much went wrong … apart from Sid’s power went just before the climax of X-Day … think he was a little frustrated
well just a quick note from me tonight as we’ve a 8 or 9 hour drive ahead of us if we’re to get a reasonable night off in a nice bar somewhere
Today was the opposite of Hannover where everything went smoothly … Today was full of surprises and problems on stage and off.
This was the best performance of the tour so far from my perspective, the venue at Bochum is great with a great backstage area and fantastic catering – all very important when a home cooked meal is a week in the distance. The hall is a long cellar and from the moment the guys rattled the first notes of Tear Your Heart Out the crowd rapidly filled the hall – leaving me the choice of elbowing through 50m of Germans……..so side of the stage it was
Well I think Pedro said all that was to be said about last night so here are my piccies
Another great performance from Heaven’s Basement – had the audience dancing away nicely. This was all helped along by the really punchy sound provided by sound guy Pete and a great light/mist show from Scampi on lights.
… well a night and a day …
Just a qiuck post with the piccies from our day off in Voss before the first gig of the tour …
Great gig from the guys tonight with the world premiere of a new song “Deadman” replacing Mirrors in the set tonight. And what a fantastic addition it is. Hopefully Rob’ll add his contribution to this little blog tomorrow – enjoy the pics.
So after all my bravado of getting pics online in a nice timely fashion the combination of a crap wireless connection at Uden and the sabotage of my good “friend” MrRob
meant that last nights pics are late and the night before were deleted………alll the fun of being on tour.
I think I’ve beaten Pedro in the race to gert last nights gig on-line
… my sabotage of his last efforts has slowed him down enough …
Sorry for the delay … but despite the temperamental internet connection my piccis from last night are finally done … I think I have deleted Pedro’s in the process … sorry mate!
Well this is a first for me – blogging Heavens Basement while Thunder are still belting it out on stage
