31 days!

Now 30 days!

Just A Fan · 05-25-2008, 09:25 AM

Only 29 days! I can't wait!

Just A Fan · 05-26-2008, 09:27 AM

28 days or 4 weeks!

27 days!

But besides the countdown we could talk a little about the venue. After seeing the discussion about the Glasgow concert I googled the "Junge Garde" because I've never been there.
Now, we know it's open air but I saw some pictures of the stage and I noticed it's quite small.

I think we'll have a very Glasgow-like show without the big screen. But the pictures could be misleading. (I wonder if there's even enough space for the dancers.

Just kidding.)
Oh, and I'm not so sure if I like the "stairs" for the audience...

Yeah, 27 days and it's a good idea, Tina!

I've never been there before but I've seen some pictures of the "Junge Garde" and it seems to be a good place with an intimate atmosphere. I love open air concerts.

Ok, the "Junge Garde" looks very old and weathered after seeing the pics. Haha

You are right, the stage looks small and also the entire venue. I hope there's enough space for the LED screens.

What's the problem with the stairs? Do you have fear to fall down?

No, it just looks like you are far away from the stage if you can't get a seat in front. And you can't see the stage at all if you are on the sides because of this amphitheater-look.
I definitely have to talk to my friend so that we get there as early as possible. I want to see Avril. If I just wanted to hear her I could sit down outside in the park and listen to the concert.
I'm not sure they'll be able to set up this big screen there. I've been watching concert videos in the "Junge Garde" on YouTube all day and none of those show screens like the one Avril has.
I'm not so sure about Placebo. There are lots of videos from 06/06/2007 but there are only some light effects in the background. Not sure if it's a screen. I went to a Placebo concert exactly one year before that one (on 06/06/06

) and again in December 2006 and they had great video sequences in the background (at least at the one in December). So I'm wondering why they don't have them in Dresden.
Well, I might be overthinking this whole thing. The reviews I've read of concerts that took place there indicate that everyone was happy with the location. I just want to see a great concert that's all.

I think you are right. Obviously, this will happen if you are too late.

Good idea, I will come as soon as possible to. The earlier I queue the better.

Good point.

I don't hope your worries are valid but who knows...I watched tons of videos on Youtube which shows concerts at the "Junge Garde" and like you said, I've never seen big screens there. Maybe the location of the venue is a reason for this because the trees and all limit the space. Anyway, I really hope there will be a LED screen - I won't miss Bad Reputation because of the space limit.

I want to see a great concert too and I'm pretty sure that we will get to see one.

Another reason why the concert will be success is me. I'll be there - that means the sun will shine.

Someone should mention that are only 26 days left.
