Taping-location: from the third row front of stage a bit on the right side
Sound-quality: excellent-, I had to correct the sound during the set a bit due to some quiet songs and some loud songs
Equipment: Zoom H4N with its included microphones. As I forgot my battery module for my extern mikrophones
at home I left the SP-mikrophones in the car. But it sounds quiet nice!!

Including Cover-and-Label-Artwork!

After so many years and so many Curry-Wursts this was my first ever Patti Smith-concert at all and it all
started not so well: I met up with someone you all might know from your private little "thoughts" of horror: the
legendary taper "booomboom". During our drive up to the new Open Air-area at Bonn everything was quiet fine, but
then we got a little trouble about what a good Curry-Wurst could be: a Schweins-Wurst or a Rinds-Wurst.
Or weather it could be �berhaupt vertretbar to be selling or eating a Currywurst at a Patti Smith-concert.
I wanted to eat a cow-one, booomboom a pig-one, everyone of us was after all very beleidigt and we didn't speak
a word with us anymore and we split up. Booomboom left sitting back at the end of the field and was taping the fabulous
support-act "The Walkabouts" from half a mile away from the stage just schmolling. Me, I was going straight up to
the front into the third row, not throwing even one look way back to that damned booomboom anymore.
Baaah!!!
Then the fabulous Walkabouts entered the stage, played some of their herzerweichend songs that made me cry and gave me some
Zweifel. And Mr. B. was also packed by them too and slowly came to the front too.

Then Patti and her Band entered the stage and played all her songs about peace, love and understanding and then, after all,
two tapers stood nearly all alone on the whole field on the Kunst!Rasen with tears in their eyes, holding a vegetarian
Currywurst for each other in their hand, saying "It's hard to say: "I'm sorry!!""

Only Patti can do this!!!

Listen to this.

You will notice it!!
