It is Saturday morning and I have had a very nice train ride from Stuttgart. The trains are on time, comfortable and safe. Love this mode of transport. I am in Frieburg to meet Patrick, my cousin, who lives in Wyhl Germany. He stayed with Auntie Liz at Notre Dame Motherhouse when he visited last year. I am looking forward to meeting him. I plan to stay the night in Wyhl and then head to Vittel, France to see Evelyne and Jean Paul.
The concert was great. Ended up buying a ticket from a guy named Malcom who is English but living in Stuttgart. Gave 40 euros for a 70e ticket. Great seats. On the side up a couple of rows.
The band seemed to be on fire. Set list is here. http://my.execpc.com/~billp61/042007s.html
My 1st show in about a year. The band really seemed to be into it. The guitarist - Denny Freeman got several nice rounds of applause for very nicely played solos. Tony Garnier, the bassist, was very high in the mix and it was great to hear a very good bass player.
Bob was amazing. 65 years old and still rocking. Started off playing guitar on the 1st four songs. Played some lead and was singing like his life depended on it. Sugar Baby sounded like he had been condemmed and was hoping for clemency. It was an amazing performance. I can´t wait to hear it again. I can´t think of a better example. Still vibrant. Still creating. Yet retirement age for most people.
The floor was packed with people. I tried to get there but there was no entry from the seated part of the hall. Worked out very well anyway. Excellent sound and sightlines.
Miss you all. But loving the trip so far.
Cheers.
