Ray called me to tell he had
arrange a backstage pass so I can go direct to the backstage entree,
in the restaurant I met Ray and the rest of the bandmembers and had a
good chat before they went on stage. Wonderful artists tonight, some I
never saw live before ( Spotnics, Billy Joe Royal and the
Hollies ) The venue was packed full ( over the 15.000 ) including a
wide VIP area in front of the stage. Mungo Jerry on stage with four
hits, a wonderful Baby Jump version!! this line-up played really
great... after the gig we're waiting for the grand finale, we had a
good chat and some drinks, Ray did a few interviews for the local TV
and (internet) Radio stations. I moved to the stage to see the Troggs
and the Hollies, what a great musicians. Backstage I had a nice chat
with Dave Berry and Dave Dee. The final started on 23:45 Lead by
Ray, and ended 00:10. All artist again on stage, Ray started with
"Everybody, Need Sombody", everyone did a verse and / or a
refrein. A great happening on and off stage, ever seen 15.000 people
get out of there mind !? I used my new digital Canon camera, see the
results by yourself.... 'round 00:30 the band went to the after
party but for me it was time to say goodbye. Left me to say a big thanks to Ray and the band,
nextime again !!
