In the summer of 2007 I went to Germany with two of my best friends ever.  Amongst the gazillion excellent adventures we had, we got to see GENESIS in Hannover!!!  O – M – G!!!

As soon as the band hit the first notes of Behind the lines, the clouds drew in and we got the soaking of a lifetime! Oh yeah.  My first big outdoor concert and I was wet to the bone!  Fortunately the rain didn’t last very long (about 10-15 minutes) but who was counting?  I loved it.  I finally saw Phil Collins on stage.  He’s one of my long-time idols, such an excellent musician and I found out in Hannover that he’s funny too.

It was one fantastic concert.  We were on the floor of this humongous stadium, about 25-30 meters from the stage, in the midst of crazy German people who thought we were from fairy-land.  Soaked to the bone too!  Thankfully our hotel was just a 5 minute walk from the stadium so pretty soon we were able to get into our warm suite on the top floor, overlooking the awesome lake in the middle of Hannover.

It’s going to be tough to top that trip!  5 out of 5 stars for a perfect performance, loads of laughs and memorable moments.
