Disappointing ... not really ... for
those people seeing him for the first time this tour, this might have been
a short but very professional show. David started in good mood, joking
about Halloween. Great audience, very good atmosphere ... but for reasons
I cannot explain very early I had the impression that this show would not
be too remarkable for those people who have seen him more than once this
year. David's voice didn't seem to be in best shape, and - suddenly -
after 'Hallo Spaceboy' he quit joking and comunicating with the audience
... and so it became a very short set. For me - being in Rotterdam and
Frankfurt before - it was very enjoyable to see 'Rebel Rebel', 'Reality',
'Afraid', 'She'll drive the big car' and 'The lonliest guy' added to the
setlist, as I didn't get to hear them before - 'She'll drive the big car'
(one of my least favourites from 'Reality' worked very well) - and that he
played the massivly improved 'Loving the alien' (which he left out in
Frankfurt). The planned setlist included at least two more songs as
encore, maybe we get to know why he cut them someday. Nevertheless it was
a nice show ... after a very wet start, waiting in front of the Koelnarena
while it was heavily raining, then a guest appearence from The Dandy
Warhols that was even worse than the shows before - bad sound, the even
quit 'Bohemians like you', a singer who always refuses to get into contact
to the audience - the only highlight is keyboardist Zia McCabe - this time
in a very exciting 'Pippi Longstocking' outfit -

who always has a smile
for the audience, when all the other band members already left the stage
she was laughing a 'Happy Halloween' to the audience, throwing sweets to
us ... The most remarkable things was again a great aftershow party,
this time at 'Blueshell' in Cologne. I can't remember all, but there have
been Angel, Piper, Ladyofthelake, J_lope, Kertinz and her friends Silvia &
Claudia, Wine,
Regina, Ant, Georg, deiwob, Guido from davidbowie.de and many more, dancing to
music of sailor, Iggy Pop, U2 and so on. Was great to meet you all (again).
At last this made this night a great one. And he promised again - 'See you
next spring'!
