Cologne tried hard, the announced "before Christmas"
tour the appropriate framework to give. Christmas Markets on
all seats and even on a Rhine boat, even a few snowflakes were spotted
. The venue, the "Old
pawnshop," offered a homely atmosphere. In a kind of arena or stadium
, even as Fady noticed the appearance of the area was almost completely surrounded by spectators
benches. Filled the whole very good - we had already
up close go with two neighbors, to accommodate all
.
As it was being considered primarily as a "Voice & Soul" concert, joined the band on
in the jazz line-up, that is, with Ralph, Ric, and René
Marcin. Fady seemed more festive all in black, saying only
times, given the unusual location, he would "twist and turn
" so that it can all see.
The program led by almost the entire last two and a half
years, with songs from both albums, the Christmas favorite
of last year's church concert and a few samples of the latest
Voice and Soul "program. It was thus very versatile and Fady
impressed with a wide range of his skills. That sounds like a gimmicky
text, but absolutely true. Whether you
intensive "Perfect," the spirited "Fire", the playful
"Summertime" - almost every song was a highlight. The whole thing always
again interspersed with jokes and transitions into the audience. If
yet occasionally tension was palpable, so it fitted perfectly
to the intensity of the performance and drove him to excel.
Of course it was all too soon over, there were two encores
, most recently "Driving home for Christmas" as a good wish for
hard and drive home.
How many times we spent the rest of the evening with the hurrying from all directions
friends. Only the farewell ritual
changed: instead of the below-described query of tour cities
next time it said: "New Year" - "New Year!"
