Master – Audience recording

Equipment: Zoom H4N – Sound professional microphones SP-CMC-8 –
SP-SPSB-8 Sound Professionals Mini Battery Module

Parking-location: in front of the Geb‰ude 9 – going over to the main venue by bike
Catering (due to massive requests and protests!!): one bottle of mineral water, a vegetarian curry-wurst and
half a vegetarian hamburger with curry-sauce
Weather-conditions: outside the venue: hot and sunny, about 24∞ – inside the venue: hot, not so sunny, about 28∞

Location: exact 4,86 meters from the stage, 3rd row, a bit left, on the “Poncho”-position.
The exact position was (again due to massive requests in the past, by the way!) found
out from another taper-hero and legend (the Beaver) who accompagnied me that evening and had a Geodreieck with
him and checked that out. He also told the people around me to be quiet in his sympathic and friendly way (three
people now are found in hospital, four lost only one tooth and..) so I could record most of the time easily. He left
his place one time to buy a Kˆlsch and – you know, what must have happened then…!!?

Sound-quality: excellent (-), one or two times there’s an enthusiastic fan (maybe a Minimax) shouting or “singing”
Sound in the hall during the concert: excellent
The Hall: a big big big big crap!!

Tapers-critic of this concert: this was my third “Alchemy”-concert, but the first one I recorded so I did not
rush up to the rail in the front-row. You can hear that in several quiet songs as Poncho is howling as he’s missing
me that much standing right in front of him!! Sorry, Frank!!
The “Alchemy”-tour is so well known up here I don’t have to write anything about it. Strange, great show.
The Beaver and I were sure by going over there to get another well known setlist. As I wanted to be very early in the
hall we split before and met later again. I rushed in, the Beaver strolle a bit into town and also into that huge
cathedral, called the Kˆlner Dom, sat there for quiet a while, praised to the holy ghost for “making something with
the setlist” and – you see what happended later!!

During “Singer without a song” a drunk woman came over next to us, just when the Beaver wasn’t my security guy,
completely lost control and talked a lot of bullshit. I hope it can be heard very clear, as it might entertain you
a lot. Then, after a short two minutes at Ramada In she quit and was never seen again. Beaver, never ever do that again!!

I found the The Horse at Berlin and Hamburg in a better mood at the start, but at Kˆln it got better and better. And
again it was fantastic.
