• 20/7/2001 The Concert Was Great!!!!!!Really amazing! It was the best Apes concert i've ever seen!! Nadine Also said that. They seemed to be in a really good mood and were making jokes and fun all the time. Specially Sandra And Stude. Dennis i did not really see because i was too small and henning was quite as usual.
  
  Me and Markus came to Lörrach and picked Nadine and her friend Julia up at the train station. From There we could Walk to the concert, that was on the marketplace. The Support Was already playing when we arrived and it also was already raining a little!The Support wasn't really bad but also it was not really spectacular. I think it was a band of the region. During the Preparing Break the Rain Got stronger and until the Apes entered the Stage we were really wet!! But after the first song Sandra said "Hey guys, i'm sure you don't mind about the rain today!" And She was absolutely right!!i really forgoit the rain at all!!
  The First two or three songs Sandra was rapping a bit too much for me. But it was getting better every single minute!!
  First i went with Nadine and Julia directly into the center of Jumping but it was a bit too heavy for me and i also could not see anything so i went a little aside to Marks were it was a super Place.i could see and i could jump and dance!!
  The Concert was not really enough but it was longer than the last one. I think it lasted 1 hour and 15 minutes. It Was soooo amazing. Suddenly i recognized that it stopped raining long ago! Everything around didn't matter anymore!
  Directly after Heaven they were playing a song i've never heard before but i think maybe it is a new part of heaven. Someday this song alone will last an hour!:-) Cuts was new for me Live and also Anne Clair i just knew from the CD. I like Cuts much more than on CD,i've to say!!And Anne Clair was sooo great!! it was the song where the audience was amazed the most i think. They All were "Klatschen" the most. Sure there were songs, the people jumped and shouted more but Anne Claire really was extraordinary!! Sandra did great job!She was sitting on the stone, very close to me and i could watch her eyes and face and you really have the impression she is living that song!!!First She seemed depressed and wants to cry and with the turning in the song she stood up and her eyes changed and she was really looking so angry and boooooooooooaaaaaaa!!Also she gave her heartblood with the singing in that song!!!
  One of The Last songs were Kumba Yo.They Made a really funny show asking the boys if they have the guts to come up at the stage and sing the original Kumba Yo and not just the refrain, the All Song. Almost Everybody was afraid, but a bad drunk guy came up on the stage finally and imagine what was the first thing he did???Yes, he was catching Sandra and gave her a Big Kiss!! But not just one! I thought he wouldn't wanna stop!! Then Sandra turned away taking the special microphone for him but he did not rest at the place, no he was walking every step Sanadra Made!Really Funny!! Poor Sandra!! :-)But finally he sang and Then The Apes were playing and he could sing together with Sandra and for the good singing job he kissed her once again!
  The Big Final of course were Lords Of The Boards again, like almost always. I think it isn't too bad, you know it is really the last song because you can spend you last energy!!
  As it were over Stude Smashed the bass into the Big Drum Again and again until the drum was absolutely broken and Dennis made a salto backwards from the drums onto the stage! And Then everything was over!!!
  The All Night i was dreaming of the concert and the music and as i woke up Cuts was spinning around in my head!!!
