And finally back on the road – only one more time, and then there’s not gonna be any concerts for a whole year! *shiver* The first concert this time took place in Utrecht (near Amsterdam). 400 km, after that totally chaotic one way streets, but a Kaizers club gig is worth all the trouble… =;-)

2.7.2004 Kaizers Orchestra (Open Air, St. Gallen)
Friday, July 2nd, 2004Switzerland! There was a long concert weekend coming up for me: Friday and Saturday Open Air St. Gallen, and Sunday Spirit of Music in Uster. Two Kaizers concerts, and in between a whole lot of other bands… wow! The only negative thing about it was that I had to go alone, cause everybody else didn’t have time or money or tickets… but well, what are you gonna do? *g*

26.6.2004 Kaizers Orchestra (Verdur Rock, Namur)
Saturday, June 26th, 2004Three weeks without Kaizers – much too long! But finally they played again in Belgium, this time for the first time in the French-speaking part. And of course I had to be there – and I wasn’t the only one, many German fans planned to go there, so this was gonna be a really nice day, with a Kaizers concert to make it perfect!

4.6.2004 Kaizers Orchestra (Alterna Stage, Rock am Ring)
Friday, June 4th, 2004Rock am Ring – wohoo! I have been there twice several years ago, but in the last years I found it just too big and too bombastic and too – expensive. This year, Kaizers were supposed to play as “Late Night Special” just after the last headliner on Friday. And of course I had to work the whole weekend, or well, I should have worked… =;-) But I decided I just HAD to see this, and as Shirin could organize cool free VIP passes (THANKS again!!), there was no reason to miss out on the concert!

1.6.2004 Kaizers Orchestra (Underground, Köln)
Tuesday, June 1st, 2004A club-show, 150 people in the audience, TV recording – well, that sounded pretty good, especially before all the festival shows! And it didn’t only sound good in advance, but the concert was really great – but I’m anticipating… =;-)

17.4.2004 Kaizers Orchestra (Viva Velinx Festival, Tongeren)
Saturday, April 17th, 2004The concerts in Germany were over, now we were going to Belgium. First up was a concert in Tongeren. No problem – that’s only one and a half hours from Bonn! That’s what we thought… but we didn’t take into account the fact that there are NO signs telling you where to go in Belgium, so we accidentally drove into Liège and it took us over an hour to find our way back out… *sigh*

16.4.2004 Kaizers Orchestra (Faust, Hannover)
Friday, April 16th, 2004After a night that was much too short and an afternoon that was much too long, we started off for Hannover. The club was nice, and we were just in time for the first band of the evening. This band was called “Urlaub in Polen” and did electronic music, okay, that’s something I don’t care about, but well, I knew that before we came there… *g* Shirin and Joyce really liked the band though, and I gotta say, it’s okay to listen to it once in a while live, but only “once in a while” and “live”… =;-)

15.4.2004 Kaizers Orchestra (Prime Club, Köln)
Thursday, April 15th, 20044 days, 4 concerts – now the tour would really start! To wit, in Cologne in the Prime Club. There were many nice people waiting at the entrance already, and though I had planned to see the concert from further back this time (it must be stupid to see the same faces in front every night… *g*), I accidentally ended up in the first row anyway – big mistake! =;-) Of course it was extremely cool, but actually, it was a little TOO close to the center of the action. Somehow I was busy avoiding shoes, knees and microphone cables throughout the concert… and it was a little wet… *g* But still it was too good a place to give up on it. Who cares about a stiff neck? =;-)
