'''......MB '05 Tour: Day 26: Hamburg, Germany - Grosse Freiheit.'''<br> | |||
''Finally, back in Hamburg! While pouring rain put a crimp in the walking around plans (but could never prevent repeated visits to the nearby hauptbanhof for snacks and presse internationale), everyone was excited to finally make it back to Hamburg for a long overdue club show that was cancelled in late 2001. Today weezer played at Grosse Freiheit ("general freedom"), which is really just the name of the street in the Reeperbahn that the club is on. But Grosse Freiheit has a cool secret (well, not really a secret): it is actually combined with the Kaiserkellar, one of the Hamburg Reeperbahn clubs where the Beatles started their career back in 1960! In fact(?), (so the legend goes), the tiny production office where Stuart the tour manager and Arthur the production manager were set up tonight was once the very dressing room that Lennon, McCartney, Harrison, Best and Sutcliffe used before walking down the underground passage to rock out the basement Kaiserkellar club! The Kaiserkellar is also where John and Paul first spied Ringo in another band and started laying their plans to get him into the Beatles instead. The Kaiserkellar is but one of 4 historical Beatles locations within just a block or 2 in the Reeperbahn.'' | |||
''Weezer's stage was upstairs in the main Grosse Freiheit room, and the energy was insane! The crowd went bananas and the heat from the bodies and the giant "w" light combined with the smoke (its legal to smoke in clubs in Germany still) and sweat to make quite a potent (if overwhelming) rock stew. Kudos to Lightnin' Leif (taking over for Dan the lighting man who had prior engagements), who devastated the place with a light show that matched the raw energy in the room.'' | |||
