Og alt me har sammen frå då er minner ...
We all have lots of memories about and with Kaizers Orchestra. During last year's Quizmas calendar, many of you sent me their favorite memories - and I found it so touching to read about all those different events, moments, and thoughts that I definitely want to share them with you.Starting on September 14, 2015, and for a full year, you will get to read a new memory here twice a week. Thanks so much to everyone who sent in their stories, and I hope you enjoy reading them as much as I did!
It is difficult to pick just one moment but here goes.
Westerpop, Delft, 27/8/2011
The atmosphere was a bit apocalyptic: it had been raining a lot, the field of the festival was boggy and muddy, right before Kaizers would play the air became pitch black. Would they be able to perform in this terrible weather? Oh, yes! But it was a weird performance. A man climbed on stage and started shaking hands with Janove and Geir. Security came and escorted him off the stage. During one of the songs we all could hear the next band rehearsing back stage. Janove got annoyed, went back stage and silenced them. As convincing as he was with that band, he couldn't convince Terje to go on the runway of the stage. Afraid of the rain or just didn't want to run the risk of falling on the slippy stage? Instead Terje gave his guitar to Janove and left the stage all together. Where did he go? What did he do? No clue but luckily for us he came back. The audience did some singing as well: happy birthday for Janove. At the end of the show I was soaking wet but that didn't matter.
