GRAVE DIGGER Guitarist MANNI SCHMIDT Issues Tour Update
February 1, 2007, 17 years ago
GRAVE DIGGER guitarist Manni Schmidt has issued the following update from the band's current European tour with THERION and SABATON.
"Paris was incredible! There were 1200 fans freaking out! It was a fantastic athmosphere which seemed even a bit frightening since we’re talking ‘bout Paris ;-) Every single band has been celebrated and that’s how it should be!On the following journey to Toulouse we unfortunately got stuck in a snowstorm in the South of France. The road was blocked until afternoon so there was no way reaching Toulouse in time, so we decided to travel on to Barcelona. The show in the Razzmatazz 2 was great, too! Although it’s sad that on Sabaton’s performance the house was only filled by one half of the people all the fans were there when the tunes of our intro began.
Next stop: Madrid. A wonderful city in which you’ll discover something new every time you get there. The performance took place in an old theatre which has been redecorated to a classy disco. A nice location with a rather small stage but that wouldn’t prevent us from rocking the 1000 fans who celebrated the show with us!
Because of the bad forecasts we continued to Bergara in Northern Spain as soon as possible. We were lucky to get there without interruptions. Although the SalaJam is well-known to Grave Digger it’s always exciting how the show will go.
To be continued…"
See ya! Rock ‘n’ Roll!
Manni
