The support band were Dream Theater – another favorites of mine, but with extremely short set.  Just 6 songs, three of which we missed queuing to enter.  Anyways – I heard ‘Pull me under’. It still counts

I did:

• Equip myself better for high mountain conditions
• Climb the three highest Bulgarian mountains a number of times
• Try to climb mt. Elbrus
• Bicycle a lot
• Did some fitness till August
• Visit several interesting concerts
• Try to become a better person

I did not:

• Climb mt. Elbrus
• Take care of myself better, which resulted in two major traumas – ankle and knee
• Preserve my weight after the tear of the meniscus

That’s about it – in short.

Continues….

The support band (again Toma) started a few minutes after 8 PM and got some good cover versions of AC/DC, Dio, Judas, etc. The whole performance was about 30-40 minutes. Then we were told the “great news” – due to thunderstorm at the Macedonian border the trucks of the bands were kept about 3 hours there. So we prepared for such time, before the concert started. And it was alike – started at almost 11 PM.

But what a start it was. David Coverdale and company in full featured show. Some complain about the sound, some about the setlist, some about Coverdale’s voice. After been on several gigs I made my mind that the only thing that makes your impression from the concert is you – and I try to have great time, every time. So it was. I yelled, sang along with the group…. everything for the whole hour and a half of it. Somewhere in the middle the thunderstorm came to Sofia too. So we were in a heavy rain, but unwilling to move – and the euphoria was the same.

Unfortunately after the Snake gig most of the fans were soaked with water and due to the wind they were freezing. So was the girl I was with – and we both left the stadium without waiting for Leppard. I am still sorry about this. But I hope I’ll be able to visit them another time.
