Paradiso - Amsterdam, Netherlands [rehearsal]

by Martin Nickel on March ?, 1996

16:35 Band arrived

A small bus with Dominic, Vinnie, Kenny and the four girls arrived. They went into the Paradiso very quick...

16:40 Sting arrived

Sting arrived in a dark BMW. While all fans were standing on the right side of the car he went out on the left side and had to go around the car. So he ran directly into my camera...he gave some autographs and went into the Paradios also very quick.

16:50 Start Rehearsals

The many versions of "You Still Touch Me" were play back because they took shots for the new video.

19:40 Sting came out of the door and gave autographs.

Only about 30 people were there. Everybody (including me) wanted autographs. Sting was very generous and made all wishes come true. Then I said "Hey Sting, I have something for you!" He turned his head around and I gave him a business card of the FoG and he promised to login later... Just at that moment John & Tija, standing some steps away, did an impressive promotion of the FoG to Sting. I think that's the reason he was smiling in his typical way. A true milestone in a WebMaster´s life.

20:00 Sting left the Paradiso, the Band rehearsed on.

We listened at the door half an hour or so and then we decided to give up after 10 hours standing in the cold. But it was worth it every minute. We got autographs, made tons of photos, shot a video and talked to Sting. What more could a fan wish after that...a beer and a pizza without peperoni!
