November 10th, Lanxess Arena, Cologne Live Report

I know what you mean, in Milan I couldn't tell if he was ill or not, only when I saw the videos the days after I felt that he was struggling in some points... I guess that when you're there the happiness is so intense that prevents you from noticing this kind of stuff 

ha! he just followed ;- ) girls carrying drinks have it easier...

was a great evening, and i am enjoying reading the thread very much tonight. thanks to you all!
the venue is crap but once in the arena it was ok and not overly crowded, so enough space for dancing and drinking... if wanted :-) was great to be on the left side of the stage this time as i could see robert's face so much better. agree that the choice of songs was not overly unique and yet i enjoyed every one of them! can't believe how he is doing it and the enthusiasm he shows every time and again.
during the main set i really thought how good his voice was again, you could only tell later when he was pulling faces and grabbing his throat. horrible as this must be it even looked kind of sweet, and i had never heard him talk about this before. so for me the specialness of the evening was more in these little bits and pieces, the faces and interaction which despite lack of height i could see really well. and as always it is never enough
