I did it! Although with aching legs and totally exhausted, but anyway. But without my 3 angels I would not have made it.
The way there was indeed a longer walk, but with a cane and hook into my friend still goes. And luckily it was not too hot. Then the shock – a long staircase without railing leads to our places – which are super cool – but down. Unfortunately, the supervisory staff cannot offer any alternative. I couldn’t think of anything else for anymore and I felt hot and cold from the thought. My first thought was, no, I’ll never manage that in my life. The whole thing was extremely heavy on my mind, I knew I would spoil my own evening and those of my girls if I can’t make it.
Our places were indeed huge, however down at the end this for me insuperable stairs without railing
I thought about this staircase for over an hour now and my girls assured me again and again that we would manage this. For me it was like a jump into the depth. First, of course, we went to the toilet, because if I go down once, then I’ll stay there too. Then we’re off. Birgit right, Tammy left and Patricia in front of me. And I leaned on the two of them and didn’t look up anymore, only to my feet. And so we are one step after the other slowly down. It felt like years. Arrived down I was so relieved! Hardly 15 meters from the stage, hardly any people in front of us. What a view!
Of course the concert was awesome, of course nobody stayed seated, so I didn’t either. “Just don’t fall”. Taking a few pictures of the concert? “Just don’t drop the phone”. I should drink, but then I have to go to the toilet… The concert was crazy good, I would love to jump and dance.
The horror staircase was worth it!
The concert was so great that I even forgot to cry, I thought I’ll certainly cry when they play my favorite songs, especially „Engel“(Angel), one of my favorite songs. They even sang it a capella now, but I forgot to cry as huge as it was, with thousands of lights in the stadium.
Then came the way home which was a bit exhausting – I was tired too – and we stood in front of the subway station forever. Then I asked the present policemen, who were managing the crowd, if they would let us go in between two blocks of people. I had concerns in the crowd about being knocked down stairs. They also let us in, thank you very much for that. Then a woman in the crowd started with the smart-ass: „One should not go to the concert with such an illness but stay at home until one feels better.“ „Exactly… because it will go better.” I just didn’t pay attention to her, she couldn’t know that it could only get worse and this is probably my last chance to see Rammstein.
At 2am I was in bed, incredibly tired and exhausted, but happy.
Thanks to my guardian angels, Tammy, Birgit and Patricia! And fuck MSA – I am mega happy to have given this awful disease the finger today! And thank you Rammstein for the unique concert!
