"Last but not least, I went to Indonesia, a
country that used to be high on my wish list to
play! So, first we went to Bali. We visited the
elephant temple, Sugar Agung (a very famous local
percussionist) and did lots of sight seeing,
shopping (again) and sunbathing! In every shop,
its manager came up to me and told me to take as
much as me and my crew wanted...for free!
Tourism
in Bali got hit hard after the terrorist attacks.
It is a shame because it's such a beautiful island
and the people are so nice.

The gig at Double Six was great but there were
hardly any Indonesians! It was a place packed with
Europeans and Australians. Nothing wrong with
that
of course but I didn't expected that in Bali. Next
day my show in Yogjakarta was cancelled due to
heavy rain and thunderstorms. I was supposed to
play on the beach in the open air and that was
just impossible due to this weather. This was
definitely the biggest disappointment of the tour.

Next day in the morning we flew to Jakarta for
what would be the biggest show of the tour. Save
the best for last, that's what my management must
have thought! At the press conference there were
already more then a hundred journalists and that
night 28,000 people showed up for the show. All I
can say is: WOUW!! What an amazing crowd that
was!
The production was great and the sound system
was
the best one of the Asian tour. This was
definitely my personal favorite gig of the Asian
tour but as you can read those were all very good
experiences.

I haven't told you everything in total detail
because then I can write a whole book just about
this tour! But I hope you have an idea about what
I experienced here in Asia.

I want to thank all the people who came to the
shows, all the promoters and everybody else who
helped to make this tour so successful. I hope we
can do it again soon. I will never forget this
tour in my life!!


....thanks Tesia....
