ORPHEUM, VIENNA
Review by Anita Ghozlan:
It was one of the club gigs, that Bryan did at very small venues.
The Orpheum in the 22nd district of Vienna can take
only between 600 and 700 people this is almost like a rock
concert in your living room!
As me, my husband and our friends have already been
fans, but we had never been to one of BAs concerts before,
we thought that this would be a nice chance to really enjoy a concert.
In this time there was no sale via internet, so my friend went by
bike in the morning when the ticket-shop opened, to buy our tickets
quickly.
Unfortunately the security at the entrance took
our cameras away and we had to get it again after the show! So I
only got some copies of photos by Marzia from Italy this year!
At this time Bryan was only accompanied by Keith
and Mickey all three dressed in white. Even all their instruments
and the devices were white.
Bryan was in a good mood. There was a guy, who asked
him several times to play Everything I do. After hearing
this several times Bryan told him pretending the same Austrian
accent - : I will not play Everrrithing I dooo.
so everybody was laughing.

When they were going to play The only thing
that looks good on me is you, Bryan said that everybody who
took off his top (!!!) could be with him on the small stage! So
they were playing the song and some girls in their bra and some
topless guys were jumping around on the stage.
Then Bryan asked the one who had always asked for
EID before (and who was also topless on the stage now) about his
name. The guy said: My name is Günther. So Bryan
began to sing My name is Günther. He made a song
of this sentence and so he and we all were singing: my name
is Günther for a while.
It was such great fun for everybody and Bryan had
obviously as much fun as we all had. I cant remember the setlist
after all this time, but definitely he played the Blues, which I
always miss at concerts now.
Ill never forget my first concert and when
I pass at the venue from time to time I have always to remember
WHO was there in this tiny place in my district.
