From Peter:



Peter Hammill was in good mood he talked a lot to the audience, most times in German.

On the stage was a Grand Piano and he said during the show:

Endlich ein Grand Piano in Karlsruhe which means finally a Grand Piano in Karlsruhe. He semed to be very relaxed. He and Stuart act like an old team knowing each other very well, their playing together was incredible. They are getting better from year to year in my opinion. The setlist contained many songs from the last cds and I was a little bit disapointed that he did not play "Slender Threads" or "What´s it Worth" nor "Ship of Fools" nor my new favourite song "The Ice Hotel."

But so it is and we should be satisfied with what we get, because this was very very fine.
