Haha, yeah, the Hamburg-gigs were fun. I liked the second one heaps better than the first one, though - maybe because the HSV-fan was a friend of mine, but generally, it had a more authentic, less "cramped" feel, somehow.
I still don't get why you always went to the venues so early, though... I mean... to get into the second row is pretty much always possible. I guess I'm just too lazy to go that early, especially in winter, when it's always raining and so cooooold. Plus, of course, I have the advantage of being tall enough to be able to see from almost anywhere I stand... ;)
