Tour diary, March 6:
before
After a very short night’s rest we started our long trip to Davos in Switzerland. Although the lesser part of our followers is used to touring, they all bore it bravely, and those who felt a little weak were motivated and encouraged. The never ending flow of cool alcoholic barley juice helped make sure that the level of good vibes never reached a certain minimum. The evening of our last concert and it turned out that some companions had taken the opportunity of contributing their own musical talents and forming bands (which hopefully won’t exist too long). No, honestly, thanks ever so much for your musical interludes.
afterwards
The trip took nearly six hours and since people were happily swapping seats and changing busses we could never be quite sure if we hadn’t lost someone on the road. But, miraculously, we never had any problems here. We had one rather long break along the motorway, which completely ruined our original schedule but allowed me to fresh up my table ice hockey skills and meet some challengers. Although they all tried really hard, I won about 35 times in a row. Which made me the uncontested arsehole of the whole tour. When we finally arrived in Davos, everyone quickly took to their hotels and after a short break we all went to the “Bolgenschanze”. The club wasn’t ideal, there were too many corners and side-rooms, but its size reminded me of olden Hosen times.
Turned up in the railway
pub of Davos: Heino (right) TV Smith heated the many fans up for the last time, and then, after many years of silence, it was finally: curtains up for the true Heino! One after the other, we also came on stage, changing the course of the evening with a decisive “Blitzkrieg Bop”. There must have been something in the drinks served in that club. People went collectively berserk, and we will keep a fond memory of that week’s best evening. During the second third of our set, we were supported by bands that had been founded during the bus ride and that now had the opportunity of displaying their talents in front of an expert jury. The blue bus presented a daring cover version of the title song from “Heidi”, while the yellow bus (name of the band: “DTH package tour plus tax”) delivered a hot cover version of “Teenagerebell”, originally by Wölli’s ex band Suurbiers. Since they were professionally helped by Heino, they took the lead by a few points.
Oh yes, so blue blue blue...
As on the previous nights, we once again played a different set. Two and a half hours later, everyone was completely shattered, so the motto could only be: PARTY ON! The toughest of the tour and the band locked the club at 6 a.m.. I can’t remember what happened then.
"Anybody got a
funny cigarette?" Best wishes, yours, Campino So you get home from a skiing tour exhausted, but in a brilliant mood, and what happens, your very own mates start to criticise you straight away... I admit, I made a mistake and got confused: it was the yellow bus that played a punk version of “Heidi” and the blue bus, supported by Heino, that covered “Teenagerebell”. Now you know my blue-yellow colour mishap, but I hope you’ll indulge
with me. Whatever, both performances were great!
