What a show!
The band was on fire, and Glenn was in fantastic shape.
The six of us had a fantastic night out (it's only a one hour drive from Vienna... - we met a couple of other people who had obviously driven across the border - why was there no Vienna show???
Also, I can proudly say, that I had 2 people "converted" tonight, one had never even heard of Glenn Hughes before, and came because she was curious to find out what I was raving about...
I can't point anybody or anything out - everything was just perfect.
Here's the setlist:
Crave
First Underground Nuclear Kitchen
Never Say Never
Oil And Water
Mistreated
You Got Soul
We Shall Be Free
Dont Let Me Bleed
Love Communion
Steppin On
-------------
Soul Mover
Burn
Glenn was very talkative in between songs, which gave Luis enough time to tune his guitar(s). He's a fantastic guitar player, a great performer, and showman!
On the other side, it was sooo good to see JJ again. He's just fab!
The audience response was great, and there were a lot of young people there, especially three girls in the front who appeared to be big RHCP fans, and made a lot of noise.
You should have seen their faces when they left the venue after they had managed to go backstage
And there was a guy who looked like Roger Whitaker dancing through the whole set up front. Priceless.
Oh, and before I forget - I got my FUNK CD signed
The whole trek was obviously in a hurry, so there was no such meet and greet, but I still managed to get the CD signed at the bus.
The Tour Manager was very keen to find out if I had bought it in a shop - and where, which I told him. Seems that the distribution is not going to well, although the album apparently sells very well!?
Anyway - what a memorable night.
I should probably buy a ticket for the Robin 2 Anniversary show...
Cheers,
Christian
P.S. no pics from me - I should have checked the battery in the camera ... but Alex made a couple of pics and lots of other people too...

Thanks for staying up just a bit longer to give us a late night report Christian, it's much appreciated. Sounds like everyone had a fantastic night out. If your friend Alex has time, would be great to see his pix

Hi@all!
here are some pics of the show last friday.
I have to agree to Chris, what a show! I wasn't so sure about the new CD when I heard it a Chris' home, but I will buy it on Monday instantly.
Chris thank you for organizing the tickets, it was a night to remember.
Cheers,
Alex -

Here's a great one that Alex forgot to post... Allow me... :p
Cheers,
Christian
P.S. The "tall girl", as we call her - don't know her name, but we instantly remembered her from last time when her camera was confiscated two songs into the set - she's from Vienna as well as were quite some other people at the gig, and she made some really cool pics and videos too. But I guess she's not on the forum Might be well worth tracking her down, somehow!? -
