I have to apologize briefly. I've already done it again. I should stop with this name dropping. It's such a total self-delusion. But some things just bother me. I don't have the right opinion on some things, not even on some people. Sometimes I just find it exciting. Names that linger in my head for a week. Just to put them out in a podcast.
I really don't want to make any bad judgments about very dear colleagues who all have their dignity, who make great, sold-out programs, who are super successful. I'm really very, very far away. I swear on everything. I really have a completely foreign envy. I really absolutely have no envy of anything or anything.
I'm happy about everyone who is successful and everyone who comes back after a short struggle. I have to stop this name-dropping. I got a lot of bad news.
But I'm sorry, I already thought I shouldn't have done it. Because it's really such a self-denial. I don't really care, but I thought it was so funny. And I just wanted to say that it's in my head. But I had no opinion and not even a point. And then I got so many emails from, well, I'm sorry. I think everything is great. I really think everyone is really good. Really, really good.
I think everyone is good.
Costa de la Vita, that's a bit bizarre, because 15 years ago, when we were on tour together, Klaas and I, at the beginning of our careers, in quotation marks, we were on tour together and we always sang Eros Ramazzotti and Tina Turner as a gag. Costa de la Vita.
Yeah, but Klaas is a much better singer than I am, an excellent singer. You have to say that. He has that green Mayan timbre in his voice. And he can also sing Sinatra incredibly well. If Tom Gable doesn't continue one day, Klaas Heufel can take over the tour of Tom Gable. The German Frank Sinatra is Klaas, I think.
And he looked like he had a limoncello, a yellow shirt and this new upper body. He's doing body modulation now, isn't he?
Psychotherapy just for the body. Klaas sang really well and then Merlin Sandmeier was there as Jonas Schulze from the Discounter and sang Party in Bildstätten with the orchestra and I have to say, that's what I'm going to clean up for you this evening. In Berlin, right? In Berlin and also in Hamburg yesterday.
Yes, because he is a resident at the Thalia Theater, he is often in Hamburg anyway. And then yesterday evening, the people are really outflipped. That was really a short Mallorca moment. The next time were really great shows. But I had in Berlin, and I have to get into the soul of the artist briefly, I had in Berlin
There was a mojo suck up, I'll call it that, a mojo damper just before the show, where things happen, where you think, where I got angry, which rarely happens, but when you're at the end of the tour, you're thin-skinned and you're broken and so on. Everyone was a little down.
And we had our collective, I don't want to say, there was no dispute or anything like that, but everyone was a little bit, on the last block before Berlin, everyone was a little bit down. The orchestra had been in the bus all the time, sitting together for too long and stuff. And then there were somehow so, so, uh, content conversations where everyone wanted to piss off, but so...
120 minutes before the show. And for me, it's really like when I go to Lorenz and pull all the plugs out of the keyboard, like 20 minutes before the show and say, okay, let's go. Because I'm really, that takes so much energy that I was really angry on stage. And then Dominik, who makes our light, said, hello at the FOH place. I went to my manager and said, something is different.
I was really angry. I got on stage and nothing was right anymore. Everything that was so fine-tuned, where you knew that everything was good, was broken in one evening. That was completely stupid.
And that's the shit. Exactly. And I really took something with me on stage in Berlin. The concert was great. It was a wonderful evening. It was also full of rattle. It's just missing so cool, so 60 cards. The people were already standing in the halls. Then it would be almost impossible.
Oh, the Max Schmeling Hall, exactly. Yeah, it was great. There were like, I don't know, 8,000, 9,000 people, so really, really full. And still it was like, you can tell people that it was a mega concert and you think to yourself, no, that was the shittiest evening of my life.
Because you have zero checks, because of course you're in yourself and you have so much to do that you don't reflect at all what's actually going on. And that's really... That's what I have with the television recording, it's always like that, that you think every week, what was going on today, that you can't calculate at all what's going on.
But on stage, when you play live, I really have to say, I don't really have it as often as you do, it's something completely different again. And that ruins the evening, it breaks everything. It's really crazy, because it's so small, it's absolutely ridiculous, it was about nothing, about absolutely nothing, but it sucks energy completely and it makes everything...
brings everything out of the imbalance.
To do with difficult people. Completely right. And I'm totally surprised. And I'm such a connoisseur. I prefer to be alone before and after. And I know it doesn't always go so well. It was definitely an interesting experience. In Hamburg the next day, it was blown away. We had a soundcheck and improvised for a quarter of an hour. Jonas sent it to me today, he recorded it.
