Just came across this gig report from the local paper: link
To sum it up for the non-German speakers: The gig wasn't sold out (attendance 1200), but very good and well received. Audience was forced to sit by security :oo: (unheard of here so far), but got up towards the end anyway. Band played impressive and at times sounded like a 'Cajun Band from the southern states of the US playing in an Irish pub with native musicians and having a great time while doing so'. Obviously the journo loved the melodies and back to the roots approach and how songs like ROLD, Caroline or Hold You Back sounded.

Sounds similar to Barcelona. The stewards were insistent so we all sat down till the encore ( Burning Bridges) - then the place went mad! :oo: Not sure if you're getting the string section; there wasn't one in the summer. Which means the 'acoustic' string parts were filled in presumably by Andy's very much electric keyboard I'd love the UK winter tour to be Aquostic; it's why we bought tickets in the first place! But, alas, we've been duped

And I presume Ralf Ohemichen will still be there as well on guitar and vocals.
