Berlin, Germany November,8th 2003
BERLIN ESTRELL HOTEL
The evening was organised by a
local radio station of Berlin. I might forget the Estrell hotel
extraordinary architecture, but I will always remember the people I’ve seen there, people with the
same yearning to see Jimmy live. Amoung the participants of a
hairstyle competition, the group of fans was
meeting, waiting near the entrance. We shortly came across Jimmy before
we could have something to eat & drink. After the show of a
german group (I don’t know the name), Gunther (JS’s manager) came
on stage to settle the microphones. This announced me
that Jimmy would come soon after!
Indeed, he appeared accompanied by
his 2 chorists, Matthew and Gillian. They started by «Mighty Real»,
continued by «Why», «Don’t Leave Me This Way»,
the more
recent
«To Love
Somebody» and the new «Could it
Be Love».
Then Jimmy came back to
his successfull years by giving the tone to
Matthew and Gillian,
singing the great «I Feel Love», «So Cold The Night».
He ended by the
slow version of «Smalltown Boy», which makes me capsize... The show
was over but not emotions. We gathered where we had first met and
had the pleasure to have a longer talk with our favorite and his
group (Matthew, Gillian and Gunther).At 2 AM, it was time to
say goodbye and to have a little rest. The following day, a last
encounter with Jimmy in Berlin Tegel Airport gave the final touch to
this fantastic week end.
