Lacrimosa in Cologne/ 2012
I guess, I give it a try and also write a short review as well. One week after the concert in Cologne. Not really too much about the concert itself, but some of my impressions of the night, for those who are interested.
Well, at the very beginning it was just planned that the two of us- Kitty and I- would go to Cologne.
Therefore it was pretty overwhelming for me that so many people of this Forum/ the LacriWelt from all over the world found their way to Cologne as well.
I arrived too late at our hotel in Cologne Center and had to search like crazy for a parking. Kitty and Melissa already went to the Essigfabrik.
I felt a little guilty that I could not join earlier.
Luckily Jenny phoned me and told me that she would also arrive at the hotel arround 17.00 o`clock. Besides, it was r e a l l y great to meet Jenny in real finally!
Anyway, Jenny and I took a taxi to the Essigfabrik and there they were.
First of all I saw my beloved Kit-Cat. How very, very good it felt to see her again. And then I saw all the others..: I just thought: WOW.
It was just crazy to see you all at one place & in REAL. Knowing that Sia just came from the USA, Lü Sha from China, Malina from Spain, 2 other beauties from France and so on....what a crime that not even more people from the forum could manage it to come to cologne. (just think of Klodi for instance....)
Not 10 minutes later, the door of the Essigfabrik opend and Tilo & Anne came out. I was not only a little but really under shock. I did not expect that and I did not expect to see them immediately after arriving at the Essigfabrik but expected to see them on stage (and by the way, I did not check that we were standing at the back entrance, I thought it was the main entrance).
Well, everybody went to Tilo and Anne to welcome them & make some pix. Well, I did not- perhaps still under shock to see the old man for the first time after 3 years again- or just too impressed by his „perfect“ hairstyle ;-))...however. At least I shaked Anne`s hands..;-).Besides, it was the first time I could change some words with her. And she really seems to be a very sympathic woman.
Well, my cousin also arrived a little later. Totally ill- but my „old punk“ made it finally. I told her, that she must join me- because of her I know Lacrimosa and I wanted to have her by my side, listening to „Alles Lüge“ at least once in our life-time TOGETHER..
But I am afraid, it was not a too good idea, to ask her for bringing some beer.
The next morning I really had a very, very bad headache because of all the beers of the night before and that does not really happen too often to me...
Anyway, the concert started and I enjoyed it just too much.
And again- 3 years later- I stood there with Kitty at a Lacrimosa- Concert.
But also with so many other wonderful people from this forum. That was just..without words again.
What shall I say. I really loved it. There were many emotional moments.
Seing Tilo on stage just felt so immense good and so familiar. I could not say, which song I loved most. Perhaps Feuerzug & Alles Lüge but no, I guess all songs...
At the end, it really hurted, not to know, when we gonna see Tilo again. He is such a warm-hearted & wonderful man. But I guess, whoever is in this forum, knows that feeling.
And I thank Tilo, Anne, the rest of the guys on stage- and of course you, the guys I could meet! I felt so much positive feelings & love around me...........that was just amazing and filled my heart with joy. That felt like a real peaceful Revolution...;-)
THANX for the night to you guys! I guess, we won t find together in that constallation that quickly again.
Thanx to Tilo as well, for the last 3 years, he joined us so often in this forum & that your forum „Meine Welt“ created such a lovely community of warm-hearted people.
Last but not least also a pretty nice review of the concert in Cologne, I found:
