Some days ago I opened an account on facebook just for fun. Now I'm surprised to see how many Rosselli's are dispersed around the globe and that's why I opened one group called Rosselli Clan.

ACHTUNG BABY - Freudenburg 2008

2008-04-27T00:55:00.007+02:00

Gestern abend war ich auf das langersehnte Achtung Baby Konzert in Freudenburg. Wir sind zu 18 Mann aus Luxemburg angereist. Aber wie wir festgestellt haben, waren weitere Luxemburger im Saal. (Ein Dankeschön an Marc für die nette Begrüßung an die Lux-Kolonie beim TUF-Intro). Ich bin gegen 19:15h im Ducsaal angekommen und überraschte "AB" beim Soundcheck. Nach einer kurzen Begrüßung haben mich die Jungs dann liebenswürdig rausgeschmissen. Marcs (Phono) Kommentar: "Wundert mich nicht daß du gerade jetzt auftauchen musst." (Später habe ich verstanden warum er das gesagt hatte). Vor dem Gig (und auch danach) konnten Marc und ich dann aber noch zehn Minuten in Ruhe über Gott und die Welt reden. Mittlerweile war auch unser nettes und hübsches ZoOTopiA.de-Wusel (alias Sandra // ihr Bericht) aus Trier eingetroffen. Ist immer schön sie wiederzusehen. Gegen 20:30 Uhr haben wir uns schon mal in die erste Reihe positioniert und paar kühle Bitburger bestellt. Um 21:35 Uhr betraten "AB" die Bühne und ein super Musikabend nahm seinen Lauf. Werde nun die Setlist inkl. einiger Besonderheiten/Vorfälle auflisten. Los gings gemütlich mit CITY OF BLINDING LIGHTS. Darauf folgten sofort die ersten Stimmungskracher, nämlich VERTIGO, BEAUTIFUL DAY und OUT OF CONTROL. Der Saal bebte schon so richtig. Dann war eine wunderschöne Version von KITE an der Reihe gefolgt von drei Songs (ANGEL OF HARLEM, DESIRE und I STILL HAVEN'T FOUND WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR) welche vom Publikum mit Genuß mitgesungen wurden. Die erste 15-minütige Pause kam dann gerade rechtzeitig um sich mal kurz abzukühlen. (Nächste Bitburger-Runde). Das Konzert ging dann mit einem zigarillorauchenden Phono mit HOLD ME, THRILL ME und ELEVATION (Vertigo-Tour Version) weiter. Dann kam der sozusagen ruhigere Teil der Setlist ... ONE, THE UNFORGETTABLE FIRE (immer für eine Gänsehaut gut und Shakehands), BAD (mit Live-Aid Historie, Ruby Tuesday snippet) und MLK (noch eine Gänsehaut) bevor es dann mit SUNDAY BLOODY SUNDAY, NEW YEAR'S DAY (Phono sang einem nicht anwesenden Fan via Handy ein Teil des Songs direkt ins Ohr) und PRIDE (hier vergaß Phono fast die komplette zweite Strofe zu singen) so richtig knallte. Spätestens jetzt war jeder im Ducsaal am mitsingen und mittoben. Die Jungs gingen nochmal für fünf Minuten backstage bevor The Fake am Piano Platz nahm und die ersten Klänge von RUNNING TO STAND STILL ertönen ließ. Der Übergang zu WHERE THE STREETS HAVE NO NAME ist noch so einer dieser Momenten in denen man nur die Augen zu schließen braucht um sich von der U2-Musik treiben zu lassen. Dann war WITH OR WITHOUT YOU inkl. Tanzpartnerin angesagt. Was die beiden zum Schluß unter meiner Irlandfahne "getrieben" haben wissen wir leider oder Gottseidank nicht. ;-)) (Übrigens Phono, falls du das hier mal lesen solltest ... die blaue Flecken an deinem Hals stammten von der U2-Schrift meiner Irlandfahne). Nun war die Überraschung des Abends an der Reihe. Phono sprach ein wenig über das AB²-Projekt und verkündete die Veröffentlichung ihres ersten Albums für 2009 an. Dazu gab es ein riesen Applaus. Da bin ich mal richtig gespannt. Der nächste Song war eine Akkusitk-Version ihrer ersten Single BLUE welche die Jungs meiner kleinen Tochter widmeten. (Danke danke und nochmals danke). Passender Abschluß eines genialen Konzertabend war dann WALK ON. Wie üblich konnte man sich nach dem Gig mit den AB-Mitglieder noch auf der Bühne ein wenig unterhalten, Cds/T-Shirts kaufen und Autogramme ergattern. --> It was a beautiful night. Nächste Station war der Burger King in Trier bevor es wieder über die Grenze Richtung nach Hause ging. Ach übrigens ... eine gute Nachricht ist die, daß die Chancen auf ein zukünftiges AB-Konzert in Luxemburg sehr sehr gut stehen. Wer sich einige Bilder des Abends anschauen will kann das gerne HIER tun. Bericht/Fotos vom 2007-Gig gibt es hier.

GROETJES FROM EGMOND

2007-09-09T22:55:00.000+02:00

We are back from our one week vacation in Egmond aan Zee (see posting below). If you want you can have a look at some pictures we shoot during this relaxing period. CLIC HERE. This was the first time I've been in Holland and I was really surprised by the beauty and cleaness of its landscape. Positives impressions: the good AMSTEL beer, the hundreds kinds of cheese, the very nice city of ALKMAAR with its small shopping streets and cheese market. Negative one: I've imagined the dutchs a little bit friendlier. I don't want to generalise at all but this was the impression I got mostly at places as supermarkets or restaurants. But nevertheless it was a great time with really good summer's end weather.

HOLIDAY IN HOLLAND

2007-08-30T20:16:00.000+02:00

Finally this year's holiday has arrived. We will leave Luxembourg for one week (1-8.09.) by car direction Egmond aan Zee in The Netherlands. Hope that the weather will be better than last weeks in Mideurope! See you soon.

MONTALBANO sono

2007-08-16T11:32:00.000+02:00

In Italy (and Germany) the romans resp. movies of "Commissario Salvo Montalbano" have reached since many years cult status. That's why I was curious to learn more about this personage created by sicilian writer Andrea Camilleri. So I bought the first roman (in german language) titled "Die Form des Wassers" and I have been formally overwhelmed. Andrea Camilleri describes very good the sicilian landscape, living style, the corrupt political side of the island and of course Montalbano's crazy and chaotic police dpt. of fiction city Vigàta (real name "Porto Empedocle"). I can only recommend you these romans/movies. Ah ... just let me tell you that you will also laugh a lot. Below you will find some good links.

---------------------

Il giorno che ho visto per la prima volta la mia squadra del cuore dal vivo avevo 13 anni e mezzo. Mio padre fin da piccolo mi ha messo sulla strada calcistica giusta. Seguivo con lui e i miei due fratelli (anche loro juventini) ogni domenica le partite alla radiolina. Vi ricordo con piacere che sto parlando dei anni '80 dove non c'erano nè il www nè telefonini. Poi nel programma serale c'erano "90° minuto" e la "Domenica Sportiva". Siccome abito all'estero (Lussemburgo) per me era quasi impossibile seguire una partita dal vivo della Juve, pero meno male che la tv belga transmetteva molte partite europee della Juve. Poi arriva il giorno in qui mio padre mi ha detto che la Juventus veniva a giocare in Coppa Campioni contro i CAMPIONI lussemburghesi (e non come oggi una terza o quarta classificata di un paese) della Jeunesse d'Esch. Non vi dico i salti di gioia che ho fatto. Già che ci sto: La Jeunesse (in francese significa Gioventu' -> Juventus) d'Esch (Esch-sur-Alzette, città di residenza) fu fondata nel lontano 1907 tra l'altro da immigranti italiani. I colori della maglia sono il bianco ed il nero e guarda caso hanno vinto 27 scudetti (come noi ... o sono 29 i nostri?). Il capitano Jean-Pierre BARBONI della J.d'Esch era un italiano che lavorava in banca nella mia città ed era tifoso bianconero anche lui. Immaginate un po come gli tremavano le gambe al fischio d'inizio. Guardate un po i nomi della Jeunesse, ci sono 5-6 italiani a partita.

Arriva finalmente il giorno della partita. Stadio strapieno con piu o meno 5000 persone, la maggiorparte naturalmente tifosi juventini (con 55.000 mila residenti italiani a Lussemburgo era facile riempire lo stadio). Entrano i primi giocatori bianconeri sul campo per il riscaldamento e c'è un ovvazione che mi fa venire la pelle d'oca. Vedo per la prima i miei idoli. Platini, Tacconi, il bell'Antonio e Michael Laudrup che ci salutano. Pero' ho subito un piccolo rimpianto. La Juve non gioca in bianconero ma in giallo (clicca sulla foto). Della partita mi ricordo ben poco, ma vedo ancora Tacconi solo in porta (la Jeunesse avrà fatto si e no un tiro in porta) a saltare con la "curva bianconera". Grande Stefano. A fine partita i giocatori juventini hanno anche fatto un giro di campo per salutare il popolo bianconero. Il ritorno a Torino si è giocato a porte chiuse per la vicenda dell'Heysel.
