The driving distances on this summer tour are really long, but we are safe and sound. We had 4 drivers with us in some parts of the tour!
The first gig went fine, even though there was some excitement in the air during the concert, since it was our first show in Europe after a long time.
Plus, we have some new crewmembers taking care of us.
Many little crazy things happened during the show, but the audience seemed to enjoy our performance a lot and we managed to go through the set.
What doesn’t kill you only makes you stronger. I have believed in this and it has worked pretty well so far in my life. Per aspera ad astra, the wise man said.
It was lovely to return to Budapest. The rehearsals went fine, even though the place where we held the rehearsals was so tiny that we ended up sweating like in a Finnish sauna every day. It was tough for everybody. The lack of oxygen is not good for your mind …and muscles uncle Mike would say.
But the people in the rehearsals studios were so kind and very helpful. I really appreciate their efforts.
The second show finally took us to Bucharest! And as I was expecting, we really had a lot of fun with my Romanian fans. The reception has been always great in that country, so I was happy to be able to perform the music from My Winter Storm for the first time there. For many of the band members it was the first time ever to visit Vlad Dracul’s land.
The rainy day in Slovakia turned into sun. The venue in Ziar was really nice and cosy and the Slovakian audience was just wonderful for us. Very loud I might say. I got very emotional during the show since I got to see so many excited faces smiling at me. The band was also happy after the show, so we felt even more united. Thanks to the Slovakians.
We left Germany behind and travelling through Swiss and France we just arrived to Zaragoza, Spain...
