Notes (from 5H):
This show was broadcast by many radio stations around the world, opening with a
recording of John F. Kennedy's famous speech ("I am a Berliner"). After the
first few songs, Ed asks, "How's everybody in Berlin tonight? For any of you
are in the back and can't see, it's pretty damn packed in front is everybody
OK? ... Do yourselves and everyone else a favor and watch out for your neighbor
... protect the women and children" leading to 'Red Mosquito.'
After 'Lukin,' Stone steps up and says, "Alright, I'm gonna sing one,"
launching 'Mankind.' 'Hunger Strike is a nice surprise, with the crowd loudly
singing along. Ed has a nice intro for 'Blood:' "Alright we'd like to say
thanks, thanks for coming out, those of you lucky enough to get tickets ...
We've had some interesting shows in Germany ... I remember every one of them,
for good and bad, but actually this show is on the radio tonight so a bunch of
other people were eavesdropping ... I fucked up quite a few times, thanks for
covering up. This next song is called, 'I'll be glad when you're dead and gone,
you bastard you', or 'this blood's for you.'"
The encore begins with Ed chatting, "Thanks, very much. I don't know what to
say so I'm just going to say, 'I am a donut.'" Later, Ed thanks Radio Fritz for
playing "records that nobody else would" and for broadcasting the concert.
Then, "... and now, Mike and I would like to serenade you," leading to 'Present
Tense.' The band seems very ON and totally into this show, even if some of the
songs seem to be played very fast.
These radio broadcasts are just the greatest! An "aftershow," similar to the
Atlanta 94 radio show, broadcast only in Germany, featured Ed playing music and
chatting with fans about life.
