Unfortunately Katerina is not in Belgium. But my brother in law and my little nephew are also coming. We hope to find a good spot in front of the T for the little one (it will be his first ever concert and he's completely crazy sincelast week).
I was just wondering if Marc and Nancy were also coming, when suddenly a new post above this one appeared.

...hans33, katerina( in mind my friend hans !!! hmmm) & family...

Of course, THAT was so obvious that I didn't even think of it.

I'm still at work, for some more hours, and then I'm off to the battlefield (I will not only be reporter but also taxi driver).

BTW: could someone give that crazykid something to eat, the poor little is yawning from hunger.

So Hans, Kate is going to miss the show? Where is she? Tell her I think of her often. She's grown up, my little one has!!

[Guest]

The reporter from the T-zone sent his messages giving details how exactly everyone is situated (I will let him describe it in his review later). And a phonecall transferred a voice singing : BANG BANG, ROCK WITH THE GANG..into my living room.

The spirit is still there, rock is still alive...

The latest : " We are trying to get the flag back "

Hi Cristy! I have to say, I am in Belgium often, but sometimes I am in Athens too. Many greetings!

The latest : " We are trying to get the flag back "

More latest: " Ron disappeared somewhere, looking for his flag " " Ron and the flag are possibly lost forever. "

[Gabi6912]

Hahah, I adore your "live stream" reports.
I exactly percept that our belgians aren't without a lot of funn.

[WilhelmSc]

My second and hopefully not the last concert. What can I say?

I was very worried about the fact that the biggest hall of Belgium might not be sold out, but I was wrong. It was full!!! Youll be able to see it on my videos.

The Scorps were as good as the last time Ive seen them. Maginificent. My deep bow!

The audiience was suprisingly very good! I had chills from head to toe when they stamped with their feet and clapped at the same time. The Scorpions reigned that night!

Klaus' voice seemed to be soooo young, I had a feeling that there was a guy in the 30s singing the song. Its an interesting thing when you hear his actual voice on youtube or in live! Big difference!!

I was very very very happy for the concert. I was stunned all the time. One of my friends was paying too much attention on exact details like few mistakes from Rudolf while playing the solos. I guess he doesnt understand that its all about the energy and the feeling that we get seeing playing them in front of our eyes. (Foolish guy)

I know I wanted other songs in the setlist but when I was there, I didnt care at all! I really didnt!

From the bottom of my heart: I LOVE THIS BAND!

[Nadin]

Thank you Wilhelm for your review!
Yayy.. I feel so happy each time I read that the guys are in the great shape and that Klaus' voice is still as gorgeous as it was years before! yes, he is really unique Man with the inuque divine voice!

Its an interesting thing when you hear his actual voice on youtube or in live! Big difference!!

yep, I have the same feelings about it

Hahah, I adore your "live stream" reports.

Yeah, so do I ( and I hope they finally managed to find and get back the flag and Ron )

So.. now I'm impatiently waiting for the reviews from other Belgium crew members

[YNWA]

haha haven`t seen this topic.. thanks, Len & Kate I saw pics in fB and Klaus holding Ronny`s flag... Hope he got it back...

[Enya-Leela]

What a night and what a concert
OMG the boys were looking good!!!
Rudy and Matthias were running all over the stage like kids
Klaus was amazing, he really killed it, that golden voice!!!!
The contact with the fans was fantastic, warm and ever so pleasant!
Even the crowd was ok! Antwerp was on the Rocks and Scorpions as always fabulous
I was in front of the T-zone!
Review follows but allready a first impression.

... ( and I hope they finally managed to find and get back the flag and Ron )
So.. now I'm impatiently waiting for the reviews from other Belgium crew members

The last thing I heard from Ron is that he didn't get the flag back.

Here is the 1st part of my review. If people are seeing themselves in photos I linked, and don't like that, please send me a PM, so that I remove those photos/links.

Part 1

Normally I was not planning to go to the show in Antwerp, I've seen them enough I find, but my sister Cindy wanted to see them once more and also my little nephew Warre. He's 9 years old and this was going to be his first concert. So I couldn't leave them alone. So after work I picked up Cindy, my brother in law Wim and little Warre. At 16:15 we left for Antwerp. Because the trafic is always a mess in Antwerp, and because the tickets inlcuded free use of public transport, we decided to stay at our side of the river (Linkeroever) and take the tram from there.
Around 17:30 we arrived at the venue. There were not so many people waiting yet, maybe 50. I immediately spotted Marc and Nancy glued to one of the doors and we had hardly taken a place behind the people that were already there, when Ron greeted us in his own unique way. Because the people were not really making a queue, and not standing close to each other, we joined Marc and Nancy and Ron in the front. We found also Vero there, and a fan from Brasil. A bit later also Kristof and Joanne arrived, so there were quite some known faces waiting there. The last from the forum who joined was Enya, shortly before the doors openened. Wim and I had discussed a whole strategy to obtain a good place in the first row for Warre. I was going to run, and Wim was carrying the backpack with survival kit, in case the security wanted to check that, and coming behind with Warre.
When I hit the barrier, there were only 3 or 4 people at the end of the T, where we wanted to be, so I used my whole body to secure some spots in the "Italian corner" of the T (the Matthias side of the end of the T). Not so much later Wim joined with Warre, and still a bit later, Cindy came walking by, as a tourist who had all the time of the world, and expected nothing less than to have a reserved place from her bodyguards. I was updating Lenita and my Katerina all the time with text messages about our whereabouts. At 18:51 I could send a message that we were all inside, at the corner of the T, starting from the corner, going to the left (audience perspective) we had Wim with Warre, Cindy, myself, and on my left Joanne, with Kristof behind her. Behind Warre was Enya. On the part of the T that was going to the front, in the middle between our corner and the main stage were Vero, Ron, Nancy and Marc.

Now we could start to wait for the support band. I was wearing one of my favourite T-shirts, and Nancy had already made some poisonous remarks about it while we were waiting outside. She and Ron continued shouting and making gestures about it once we were inside. I first "thought" they were trying to catch the attention of someone behind me, but that made Nancy a bit angry, and I "understood" it was me they wanted. So I made my chest bigger and pointed at the letters on my T-shirt, while making some movements with my head. What follows is an attempt to reconstruct how that was:
Nancy: It's a disgrace what you're wearing, on the left they sell Scorps T-shirts!
Hans: Pfffffff
(some minutes later, Ron had left his place and came back waving with a T-shirt)
Ron: I have a Scorps T-shirt here! Swap with yours?
Hans: Hell no, not in a million years!
Ron: What if I throw in my underwear as well?
Hans: In that case most certainly not!
Nancy: I will take off my T-shirt and you yours and we swap?
Hans: Hmmmmm, that sounds more interesting already... But I cannot do it, take off my shirt. If I do it the womenfolk will not look at Matthias anymore...
Nancy: WHAT? You bragger! I want to see proof! Evidence! Take it off if you dare!

Unfortunately at that time, the support band came on stage, so our converstation was rudely interrupted, but more about that in part 2.
