November 9th Alice Cooper, Basel and 19th, Black Star Riders Z7
A joint post as it's all a bit far away now and I can't remember much by now
9
November, Alice Cooper Basel
As
glad as I was for the great night on the Sunday (see previous review)
this was really crazy. My flight was landing at 3pm and the doors
opened at 5:30! Luckily the plane actually landed twenty minutes
early but it was a bit of a race. And no one had thought about
figuring out the route from the hotel to the hall, ah well. Next time
I shall plan that too.
Even
though this was the shorter set, as in opening for Motley Crue, this
was probably my favourite of all three shows, so full of energy from
both sides. And I had my best friends with me so that also helped
though they probably never saw me that stressed ever before!
19
November, BSR, Z7
It
took a while to find my way back into my routine but work had resumed
nicely when it was time for another show. BSR are among my top three
current favourite bands. They are simply amazing live. Sure enough it
was fantastic but sadly the hall was rather empty, what with being
the middle of the week and to be honest I think a lot of people still
don't understand that this is the successor of Thin Lizzy and is
definitely worth the trip.
I
had the pleasure of meeting Scott Gorham briefly after the show and
he was so gracious and charming, a shame I didn't have anything for
him to sign but in a way it's even nicer to just have a chat. And for
once I also got a photo taken, I actually didn't ask but when he
asked if I wanted one I couldn't refuse without sounding impolite,
not that I mind having this little reminder now.
