If you were any closer, you'd be ON STAGE, lonestar!
Actually the first time I saw them it was at a tiny venue with no barrier, so I was leaning on the stage itself. This time there was about a two foot gap.
At my first Haken show there was no stage at all. It was at the Bergkeller Reichenbach and the band was playing in a corner of the room on what looked like a blanket or so. In front of maybe 80-100 people (at best).
The band wanted to start the show and Diego started the tape with the intro and when the band wanted to kick in, they realised Ray wasn't there yet, so Ross just sat down behind the drum kit and they jammed a version of Another Brick In The Wall
Turned out Ray was still in the restroom
Right in the middle of the show, between two songs, the owner of the place, Uwe, came onto the "stage" with 6 vodkas and Charlie (who was standing right in front of me) was all dude I can't drink this I have to play crazy difficult shit and just gave the shot to me
So I would clink glasses with Ross and Uwe and then they continued.
During the finale of Visions Charlie just gave me his pick and I strummed the chords. That was very awesome.
This concert really was something else. Never experienced something like this before of after.
Here's a picture taken in the Bergkeller Reichenbach, but this was the second time I saw them there, a few months later. I'm the dude with the glasses between Conner and Diego. There's also a version of this picture where Charlie gives my buddy on the left a kiss on the cheek
(unfortunately I can't find it)
