It was very funny, since he did not explain the shirt at all but immediately started to play. I assume most of the people did not understand the green shirt until he talked about the match a couple of songs later. I've seen EC for the first time and was a bit surprised about his physical appearance. I won't try to describe my feelings in a foreign language, because it's hard enough to find the appropriate words in German. In a nutshell, I expected him to be taller. But I think this has been discussed in this list before. And Steve was dressed very funny and inappropriate, like usually, I assume. Considering the fact that there are just two EC concerts in Germany, the E-Werk in Cologne is a small hall. And there were still some cards available right before the concert. So the number of EC fans must be very small here in Germany. Sometimes I don't understand those Germans at all, although I'm one of them ... IMHO the concert was very good. Standing in the front row I could see him very well. He seems so involved and concentrated, especially when he's doing his guitar "solos". I like it. I did *not* like the speed of the concert. Playing 4,5 songs one after the other without a break is very impressive on one hand, but on the other hand there's too few time left to really appreciate each song and to *show* this appreciation, as well. This is, there was not enough time for applause, for shouting, for whistling, ... . He managed to do the list above within about 130 minutes. Did he do his US concerts the same way? -- Achim. PS: Where could I get all those US set lists from? I was so stupid to destroy them.
