Gig in Essen,Germany

[Phil]

First of all I wanna say THANK YOU Rob, Clive, John, Ian and Mick for that great show in Essen (and the autographs, of course)!!! It was a fantastic journey thru ten years of ARENA. I also want to congratulate you to your anniversary!
So I hope there will be another ten years in the "Arena of Prog".

Greetings to ARENA and their fans,     
PHIL from Germany.

Did any crowd sing happy birthday to Arena? I missed that yesterday (and I'm not the person to start singing in a big crowd )

Ah! cool! How did the guys react? Why didn't drink more beer. In that case I would have dared to sing it...

[Peter]

They blushed a bit and smiled widely

Clive asked for a german birthday song.
But that's just the same melody with german "lyrics".
And when we started singing it, he didn't seem to like it and asked us to stop.
(I wonder why!?  )

[PH]

Zum Geburtstag viel glück? or something?
What's wrong with it?

I wonder why he would ask you to stop also.

[Appelmoes??]

Men+Beer="Wlaaalaaalalaaaaaaaa!!"

Men+Beer="Wlaaalaaalalaaaaaaaa!!"

Now I undertand why Clive asked to stop singing!

Yes, zum Geburtstag viel Glück.
I think he just didn't like the fact that it has the same melody.
He seemed to wait for something totally different.
Maybe the men and beer thing also had got something to do with it.

We are very rational. One song has to be enough.
But we have more Beer!

We also have songs like:

- En voor ... nog éénmaal troelala! (And for ... another troelala)
- ... is ok olé olé

but they aren't specific for birthdays

(What is troelala in english )
