2 more days ´til I start my way to Wroclaw/Poland, No clue what venue that´s gonna be...
Anybody got a hint for me?
It might be helpful to make the show happen...

[Gabi6912]

Have a safe trip Ben,
Have a great show, and afterparty fanmates, and Scorps.

[Marta]

Ben, "the venue" is at the bus depot, Grabiszynska street. So if you see many old buses somewhere far from the city centre, it may be the place
Thanks Gabi

I will help you with everything, have maps and visitor guides etc. I don't want to spam so I will not paste the link, if anybody interested please write in google or booking.com the name of it - Grunwald Apartment Wroclaw. Cheers!

I heard there was quite a bit of rain at the show

[99-in-the-shade]

Yes, there was heavy rain during the show, just like a year ago in Tarnów.

It was my eight show, the last one, but definitely the one I will have the worst memories from. In the beginning everything was going as planned, thanks to Marta we got perfect places, but during the first support right behind me and two friend of mine appeared two guys, being drunk, aggressive and looking for a fight. Security did nothing, they just stood there like lampposts and stared at the whole scene. We were so afraid, that we decided to change our places, but it was impossible to find any... well, not good, even acceptable ones. (By the way, security s*cked so hard that it was hard to imagine, they didn't even let a disabled man on wheelchair to go behind the barriers, so in fact he had no chance to enjoy the show he went to.) Thank you, security guys, you were such professionals (but a pity, that in spoiling the show, not secuiring it)!

We ended up somewhere by the fence, seeing perfectly nothing. I'm very sad and disappointed it turned out to be like that, because firstly, with great probability I can say it was my last concert ever, and I wanted to have great memories from it, not so bad ones. Secondly, friends I was there with, ever been to such show before, and they wanted to see Scorpions, because I've told them many times, that it's something wonderful, extraordinary, and they surely won't regret it, and the shows are not as dangerous as they thought. But everything turned out quite contrary. (

I mean, the band played really great show, I was nicely surprised by 'Hit Between the Eyes', and I am sure that all of the people closer to the stage had a fun as great as the one I usually had. But trying to watch the show from behind backs of people who didn't even know why we should sing 'sto lat' and stood like lampposts wasn't the best experience we could have.

One god thing is, that for a moment we were near the truck and I had a possibility to talk to Ben for a while Ben, it was ice to meet you

After the show the bad luck continued, my phone broke, so I couldn't even contact anybody And as we were tired, soaked, but overall disheartened, instead of afterparty we decided to go back home. Due to lines in the ticket office we missed one train (though we ran like crazy, and I made to my knees even more harm thanks to that), and the second one, two hours later, was delayed for about one hour. And so overcrowded, that we spent next three hours standing in the corridor. :/


Ruta, I'm glad I met you (and your sister) finally, it's a big pity we didn't even have more time to talk But I hope we'll met again one day


Marta, mam nadzieję, że Marysia przekazała co ze mną i przeprosiła wszystkich, jak prosiłam? Telefon mi wysiadł jeszcze na koncercie, a nie pamiętałam żadnych numerów, więc to i tak cud, że udało mi się tą kupę złomu uruchomić na kilkanaście minut

[Gabi6912]

Dory sweetie, I am so speechless, and feel sorry for your disaster-show.
Hugz, and kisses.

[Marta]

For me it wasn't such a disaster as for Dorota, mostly because I stood further from this moron. I told the security guy that they could do something with him, but he told me to calm down [WTF?!]. One friend of mine also left cause she was fed up with fighting with me. Not only him, it was my 8th show and really the most aggresive. I have some bruises on my elbows, ribs and one on the back. Maybe the venue was to small or the people were too adventurous or maybe both, but I haven't seen something like this before on the Scorps
As Dorota mentioned they played Hit between the eyes, which surprised me a lot in a positive way. I waited for this song for a long time and I finally heard it! Another plus is that the crowd was very active, people were singing and shouting, though everybody was completely soaked. We saw pyramid, fumy Rudolf's guitar at Blackout.
After the show we went straight to the club where the afterparty was to be. We heard the new Stirwater there, with a different vocalist and drummer and with completely different style. Now they are more rockish, I know some people here complained they were so different from the Scorpions music, I think these should like the new Stirwater much more. Later I'll look for some photos on the web, maybe videos and I'll put it in the topic about this band.

Now: special thanks to Ruta and Egle for the time together and having good time. I hope we'll make it to go to one more show as we both, me and Ruta went there thinking it's our last show. But during the band was playing I got so so sad thinking it's the last time I saw them on stage. I don't know how to solve it but I want one more time to have a real good bye in my memories.
Dorota, na facebooku juz ci napisalam ze nic nie wiedzialam, ze Marysia mi cos miala przekazac. Wypatrywalam ciebie na afterparty i w koncu stwierdzilam, ze chyba bym na ciebie tam wpadla gdybys tam byla, no ale.. Trudno, mam nadzieje, ze nam trzem uda sie jeszcze gdzies pojechac,dla kazdej to byl osmy koncert i dla kazdej mial byc ostatni. Moze 8 to pechowa cyfra
A great thank you to my friends from Poland who came there with me. They were very brave standing behind me. I had the barrier to hold it, they had a crowd pushing them in all directions. But still they enjoyed the show, at least I don't feel guilty I made them to come

[YNWA]

Dory, sorry to hear about the problems, caused by those jerks I had quite the same problem in Bratislava with a drunk group of 5 Hungarians (Gabi, not your ppl definitely). The difference was that I was alone and I, I suppose, am more crazy and after I yelled them a couple of time, that they are irritating me, not me, but they moved Try it next time

Marta, it is NOT YOUR LAST show! We`ll surely have to meet again, drink and party again! Happy that you had a good time with Ruta and her sister!

Thanks both for the reviews!

Hey Dory, it's Cristy.....I am so sorry for your bad time....next time will be better I pray....and I hope they will rock you again!! I bet you miss Tinka being with ya, yeah?
Next time, kick the drunks AND security in their knees!!

[Rūta]

Well, I have to agree with Dory, it was my worst worst experience... because when you left and the show started those drunk idiots moved towards us... I think it was 2nd or 3rd song when they came and security even didn't do anything... I was so annoyed that couldn't even enjoy the show... it passed like 2 minutes and I wasn't even happy of course the band was doing great as always, and Hit between the eyes, wow I heard live in Vilnius 5 years ago...

My sister kept punching me saying "Matthias is looking to you!" and when I turned he really did and smiled and waved but probably saw my "happy" face... I really was angry, and not only about those drunk morrons, the whole audience was terrible, many stupid children in front who started climbing over others heads, I know I sound like a grandma but it really annoyed me. Plus, it was raining all the time...

I went to the show knowing that it's my last one, but after such bad experience I don't know... I wouldn't want such show to remember as my last one...

After the show we went to the afterparty with Stirwater, I hadn't heard them before and really enjoyed the music

So overall it was I don't know... it was great seeing Marta and Dory, and I went with Wolf all the time in train from Poznane to Wroclaw but didn't recognize him at the beggining, I thought it might be him but didn't want to do mistake, we met last time in Gdansk 3 years ago. And David also

For the rest I can say, that it really makes me angry that some fans pretend not to know the others and only care to getting backstage... well, at least now I can to reduce my "facebook friends" with calm heart...

That's cuz she is a BGRW but mostly cuz he appreciates her loyalty as a faithful fan.
