E 17 at the IFMA in Cologne written by Stella
On the 25. Ocotber 1999 E 17 came to Germany after a while again. Of course I was there too to see them at their performance. My friend a big E 17 fan too and me arrived at the veunue one hour and a half before the concert started to be close to the stage. At 17.00 they opened the doors and we made it. Yep, we stood in the first row. We made a banner for the lads to make sure that they see us then.
At 19.00 the festival started. Groups like Lou Bega, Q-Connection and bands like that did theor performance first. Nearly at the end of the concert (21.15 pm) E 17 came on stage. As I saw them I got so bad butterflies...
Well, Brian was absolutely cool (like always). He came onstage with a bottle of beer. Have a look on the photo above. First of all they sang "Tell me what you want". It was so brilliant. Brian was standing in the middle from the stage. Terry on the right side and John at the left one.
John was so cool he waved to us all the time. As they sang "Falling in love with you" John showed at us with his finger. He was so sweet. Brian was really concentrated on his vocals and had such a brilliant voice like an angel. They did the performance without a band, but it was great.
At EACH TIME the crowd went so mad. E 17 were really surprised that the crowd went like this. They sang IF YOU EVER, BETCHA CAN'T WAIT and START IT. Joh throw his towel to me which is hanging on my wall now. Unfortunately, they left the stage after an half an hour. After that my friend and me run to the backstage area where we saw Terry giving some autographs. But he went in the hall straight then to get changed.
Six other girls were waiting for them too. But these girls were just autograph hunters. They got their autograph and went straight after it off. After 15 minutes E 17 came out ! John went straight in the car and Terry followed him. Brian took a bit time to talk to us. He was really nice and handsome like always. We asked Brian when they will come back again. He said that the next single will be Daddy's gonna love ya and it will come out in January or Feburary. I can'T wait for it. At the end after 10 minutes they had to drive off so Brian gave a a kiss and went in the car. As they drove passed they waved at us. And now I will wait until they come back again to Germany. It was such a brilliant meeting. E 17 are the best band and they make real brilliant music.Last but not least ! Stella took a pic of Brian while she was talking to Brian. Here is it and enjoy it.
I would like to thank Stella one more time for this blindin' concert report. You have done a good job, mate ! Hope you like it how I translated this report. Maybe there are some mistakes, but I am not perfect. And thanks for the blindin' pix. You are blindin' !
