Amanda Fucking Palmer in Heidelberg - yes - Heidelberg - Heidelberg rulez !!!
She grabbed my arm and didnt let go until the end of this gig and of this ride through emotion and life and fun and laughter and a performance of Amanda Palmer that will stick in the minds of everyone who watched her and the many supporting artists she had brought along with her on this magical carpet ride in the Karlstorbahnhof in Heidelberg on 14th October 2008 - a date to remember. I can still feel the vibrations of the music, of the Cello of Zoe Keating which did a wonderful support - first on her own as one of the three supporting artists before Amanda Palmer came on stage and then in the band of Amanda - I can still feel the thunder that was released by all of them - by Jason Webley who made us all sing a drinking song and put up one finger in the air and dancing little pirouettes - I can still hear the music of Astronaut and all the other fantastic songs which I heard in these hours filled with pure life. Amanda Fucking Palmer is amazing, exceptional, outstanding and this gig in Heidelberg - which is a city Ive always loved - can never be erased out of the conscious mind of the whole audience. Oh Im so excited - so much - so much - so much everything else doesnt matter and at the same time gets a new perspective each time - open my arms up to hear - to feel - to sing. To sing Living On A Prayer by Bon Jovi in an Version that just blew my mind - to shout out loud out Umbrella from Rihanna which Amanda played on her little guitar and made me dance and jump and shout and released me from the physical bounds of earth for a while. To hear Amanda playing Creep by Radiohead on the Ukulele and all the audience sang with her - you can not be in love with this woman after this gig. You simply can not - only if something strange tells you not to - but throw these thoughts away and embrace the music and the experience of AMANDA FUCKING PALMER !!!
Ive made some pictures - there are sure many others out there and hopefully some Videos up on YouTube soon - cause u have to see to believe how breathtakingly beautiful this gig in Heidelberg was.

Amanda and also Zoe is now in my Pass - together with Tori, Peter, Jorane and Loreena and oh my god - I will not - not forget this day and how she kissed my hand after signing my pass - how she grabbed my arm while she walked on stage - up a little staircase in front of the stage cause her big toe was broken and the intensity of the performance of all who were there on this night to remember.
This is what life is for - to experience new things - to see new sights - to hear new sounds and voices and to feel it - to embrace it.
