and especially Maarten. I don't know a lot of people who have a
more detailed knowledge about offical and inofficial recordings that are
around (Ruud from
from davidbowie.de - this secured that there would be no boring second
that day. Time flied with all those people around - i'm sure I forgot lots
of them, but to name just a few there were J_lope, Guido, Angel, the
pretty girl with ginger hair from Germany i don't even know the name :o(
Maurice, ... We even missed that Bowie rehearsed 'The Width of a Circle'
during soundcheck (at least Ant is sure that he identified it out of the
noise) .
Waiting
for more than 5 hours was all worthwhile, as we made it into 1st row
(almost, but to stand right behind Piper & Seven means 1+ row). Two
warm-up act - The Leah Wood Group and Anouk shortened or time until 21.00
when Bowie was supposed to
start. Leah Wood, the cute daughter of Mr. Ron
Wood of The Rolling Stones who is not yet signed by a record company - did
well. Nice pop tunes plus a rocking cover of En Vogue. Her father enjoyed
her performance backstage and sometime even waved into the audience
encouraging her.
After
Ms. Wood the Dutch singer Anouk entered the stage. Musically it was quite
nice, heavy rocking songs plus some more quiet ballads. Anouk
seems
to be quite famous in the Netherlands as the audience responded very well.
Nevertheless she was not really my taste, because she moved like a
crossing of Tina Turner on ectasy and a second class table dancer ... but
that was all nothing more than a filler until Bowie rocked the house.
Despite a horrible echoe/ crap sound that maybe got worse the more people
have been away from the stage, David did a great job, even joking about
that we get not 24 songs as planned but 72 songs because of the echoe.
Until 'All the young dudes' we could see Ron Wood enjoying the show
backstage. Highlights of the show have been 'Sister Midnight', 'Panic in
Detroit, 'Quicksand' and firstly 'STATION TO STATION'. The last gave at
least a glimpse of the atmosphere the 76-shows must have had. As always
the show has been too short - and I would say the same if he played 5
hours ;o) So this was fun - and even more to come @the afterparty ... 
...
organized by Angel, Ramoana and their friends. What an great event this was
- almost all of the people mentioned before have been there plus Georg,
Wine, Keith, Gilly and about 150 more. The club was hot (in every sense of
the word) ... plus the way through the red-light district ;o) ... great
music, so many nice people, made even SteeOui dancing (what I call dancing
... lol). The event was mentioned @bowienet plus some gifts from ultrastar
for the tombola ... even the 'official' people recognized this great event
organized by fans for fans. @ 4am the doors closed ... much too
early ;o) ... a final 'Ziggy Stardust' and I had to leave to find the
central station, 3 hours later i got my train back home ... i was promised
a hot night and i got a HOT night.
