Notes:
It was a hot summer night with approx. 35�C/95�F by 8 p.m., but not the hottest - as we learned the next day in Schwetzingen.
The surroundings in the heart of Cologne directly at the famous cathedral for this sold out show were magnificent (only 3 concerts per year are allowed there).
It was great to meet well known faces from Switzerland, Belgium, The Netherlands and Germany before and after the show.
Despite the heat, Van and his band were in a great mood and delivered a very nice concert, although it had a quite normal setlist for an outdoor venue - stand outs for me were All Saint's Day, Magic Time and In The Afternoon.
Fun fact: At the nearby pubs you were forced to consume food and/or drinks for a minimum of 100 euros per person from 6 p.m. onwards.


This is a very nice sounding recording. Gloria was patched with a second source for the minutes after Van left the stage.

This one is uploaded to celebrate my 15 year anniversary on DIME.
(And for those of you who don't know, DIME was first made public in the Van Morrison fan community).
