Russian tour - April'2012

[Delphine]

3rd day in Moscow - 2nd show : The Fight/the War
Today I arrived at 13h20 and there was less than 10people. I saw imediadly Dasha.
She was arrived at 7am with her friends .... there is not only me who are crazy
They were all sitting in front of the 6th door, I was the 1st on the 5th. These doors were the closed of fan zone collecting bracelet (strategic he he). the queueing happened quitely without pushing.
But finally I think the security of Moscow did a contest with the SPB one, who will be the crazyest ?
When they opened the doors, not the doors but The Door ... yes they opened only 1, the 1st one. Completely the opposed where we are.
Everybody pushed and were crushed, the security shout, stop us and tried to push back the people, absolutly awfull !!
After we get the bracelet we have to wait again for the fan zone and it was the same S### ! People pushed, security pushed back and stop everybody. when we arrived finally in the fan zone, the 1st row was almost complet. Just 2m free on the extrem right.
But the avantage of this part is that were are "on the stage", no space, no barrier between crowd and the stage at this point .

So, about the show:
Unbelievable, amazing !!!
It was not the same band than yesterday ! Matthias and Pawel were very smiling, jumping, running ... Incredible !
About the set list, 2 differences. they played angel in stead of always somewhere and Matt played SSS

Tomorrow : day off

Day 5 in Moscow - The Last russian show


1st I will stop any speculations, it was exactely the same setlist than Friday. Nothing more, nothing less.

But I'm
I get a private show
Countless smiles, regards form Matthias, James, Klaus and Pawel.
James wawed me during Make it real. When he went donw of his drumkit he came to shake mes hands, only me. Later he came to give a drumstick, especially for me.
Klaus came to take my camera and he took a pic of me during the show.
Matthias and Pawel came so much closed of us that I can't take pix, they were too closed.
I was on the extrem right side, so Rudy came very few time on this side.

So, they were in super huge mood, incredible !


PS: I will try to post my pix in the following days

[natka]

Hi, friends!
I'll try to write about my five crazy days with Scorpions tomorrow, but now first impressions: when Klaus had came to the end of the catwalk during SLY he was sprinkled with red rose petals... I saw his eyes at this moment: he was touched... And paper airplanes seems to become Russian tradition. St.Petersburg was the first, the other cities continued. At every of three Moscow shows they were flying under the crowd, today there was a lot of them flying during WOC from fans to guys and back, it was cool! I think somebody lay out video of this moments on youtube and we all can watch them.

[Gabi6912]

Okay friends:
I don't wanna ruin the celebration-mood, but after Del's post I would like to write my special request here, too, as have done in EE section some months ago.

It is absolutely all right to use some emoticons, I also use them, but when somebody uses too many of them following each other, it is very uncomfortable for me to read your posts, esp without a spell of text.
I had to press pagedown button fource to jump your emoticon-mountain out.
Okay, I got to know that the show was undescribable, and incredible, and, and, and, but: being humans, couldn't we communicate abit more by words also not just by these emots?
All in all, I would like to read your review by words also Del.

[Nadin]

Deeeelllllphiiinneee!! wwooooowww!!! That's really fantastic!!! I am extremely happy for you, dear!!! You really had and incredible show!!!

Klaus came to take my camera and he took a pic of me during the show.

(*where's fainted emoticon?*) my goshness...I'm speechless, except, maybe 1 word.. FANTASTIC!

@ Natalia - thanks for your short, but very colorful and emotional review
Yeah, you ladies took me once again "to the magic of the moment on a glory night.." I lived those moments virtually, and thank you for it
Waiting for pix, and, hopefully, more detailed reviews

@ Gabi- yep,we all understand you, and sorry for making some inconvenience for you with all those emoticons... And I'm sure Del didn't want to make her post inconvenient for you, and she will surely understand your request... but you know, when you're overwhelmed with the emotions, you just do everything automatically..coz then you can't match right words, so the emoticons are the best solution to express what we feel...sorry once again we'll try to be more restrained in usuing emoticons.. hope you'll also understand Del, coz yep, she had an incredible show...

[YNWA]

Wow, wow,wow... It seems it was THE NIGTH! And the gestures our boys made - great respect and bow to the ground for them! They are really, really, really THE GREATEST BAND in the world, and not only because of their talant and awesome music, but because of their behaviour towards fans!

Del, Natka.. I`m so happy for you. Reading your stories make me feel as if I was there... I`ll be waiting for your detailed reviews, videos and pic (expecially the one Klaus made )

[WilhelmSc]

Very sorry for the negativism I will writing now but why do they play 3 nights a row with the SAME setlist?

Im speechless
