center, and also realsied all we had to dowas run straight down
to the stage, well more ppl showed up and then these guys to set
up the "gates" so that everyone would que accordingly,
I must say out of the shows I did this was by far the most organised

warming up getting ready for the mad dash to the stage, BOOM the
gates open and I swear it's like a horse race dada da da CHARGE!!!!

security by the b stage they were making noises like race cars ...

Ritter:
Bryan Adams was on 15th November 2002 in Erfurt, to perform his
"Here I Am"-Tour. Of course I couldn't miss that one,
because I've been waiting for 2 years to get this chance. So I was
driven there at about 2:30pm. Maybe you ask why this early... Well,
I didn't want to stand in the back of the hall. Now I had to wait
until 7pm, I stood in the cold 4 1/2 hours and I was shaking, but
there were some nice fans to talk to. Behind me more and more people
arrived and I was happy to be the third at the entrance. Soon after
7pm we were finally let in and I ran like crazy. It felt amazing
when I realized that I stood in the first row and almost in the
middle. But for now we had to wait one more hour when Vega4 were
on stage. The mood was really cool right from the start and the
band was quiet impressed. But sure everyone was waiting for Bryan
to arrive. Exactly at 9pm Bry conquered the stage, opening song
was - of course - Here I Am, and that is almost the only song to
say hello for him. But after that House Arrest made the people rock.
Other songs hit the fans once again and then he started to sing
"Everything I Do" and it felt amazing: There was a choir
of 9 000 People singing the song. Same happend at "Straight
From The Heart", but from this concert on the song has a special
meaning for me. Bryan came over and stood in front of me. Suddenly
he was on his knees and looked right into my eyes. I think I did
the most stupid smile ever, because I was too surprised to think
anything. So I enjoyed the rest of the concert even more than before.
It was a pity he didn't take me onstage to be his Mel C, but it
was okay though that girl didn't really know what to do so she hadn't
done the best job. While "The Only Thing" he did that
game with the audience and it's always fun, after that he disappeared
and stood in the B-Stage. He rocked "A Little Less Conversation"
and some other tracks. Then he returned to the main stage to sing
two more songs. Then he said goodbye, very lovely, and promised
to come back soon.
