We arrived at the Loreley on friday. we got the numbers 241 and 242 (double numbers) which wasn't bad at all. we'd expected a lot more fans. we spent the day with other dutch fans. The organisation was perfect. we were out in line the next day at 7.00am. No one ran, no one sneaked to another line. All the fans were calm. We were put on a field two by two. So it was an extremely long line, but no one without a number could sneak in without being seen. The security watched these people all day and a few without number were sent away immediatly. Security told us that we had to sit down and stay down until they told us to get up. And everything went right. We stood up when the people in front us stood up and not earlier. I never experienced it this way. No one ran. When we came inside we took place on the stairs, on the third rung. Which was a very good place. we good see The Kelly Family arrive behind the stage. But we were also in the middle of the stage. it was a perfect place.

A few minutes after 20.00 the show started. There were 6 Kelly's.
It started with:

26.08.00 Loreley

- Why why why
- Thunder
- Looking for love(and Patricia told us they would collect money again for cancer)
- I feel love and No woman no cry
- So many things I wanna do
- I will be your bride
- Fell in love with an alien.
Maite wore a very blue wig. it was a nice model, not like a clown, but a model moviestars used to have in the 50s. she sang Kathy's part in the song.
- I'll swim I'll swim

26.08.00 Loreley

Then Patricia came and Paddy started The First time. she held her hand up to him and said to us that she had sung this song for 5 years and that she would like something else to sing now and that she would sing- You belong to me, and she did. It was very nice, she sat down on the stage and sang extremely high.
- Another world
- Key to my heart at the end of it Paddy got a bottle of water and gave every member a bit water. They all spit it out like a fountain standing next to each other, at the same time. Paddy usually does this alone, so this was special and very nice.

With - Every baby Maite told us that there was a new baby and that unfortunately wasn't her baby, but that it was Joey's baby. While she said it she kept looking to the right side of the stage. We had seen Tanja sitting there with Luke, but they weren't coming onstage. It wasn't meant for us to see her, but we could see that part of the backstage from were we stood.
- Hallelujah

26.08.00 Loreley

- Rock and roll stole my soul Jimmy was as crazy a ever. Maite said to us that they had a balletdancer in the family and that it was Jimmy. So the crowd kept yelling that they wanted to see that. Then Jimmy came to the microphone and said that we had seen all the tricks he could do and that there was nothing left for him to show.
- Please don't go at the end Jimmy had to do another trick and Patricia almost fell over him.
- Ares qui Maite picked a guy from the audience to dance with and Paddy ask him if he wanted to have his sister. The guy said yes and then Paddy asked how many camels he wanted to give for her. Maite stood there laughing. She brought the guy back and then Maite and Paddy split up the audience in two teams. we were in Paddy's team. We had to sing and then would be decided which team was the best. But of course Maite and Paddy both liked their own team the best.
- Mama was sung by Paddy all alone, the others left the stage. And his voice got extremely high, which is very hard for a man. The audience reacted immediatly. Later Angelo joined him and sang second vocals. Very beautiful.
Then they sang together - I can't help myself. So actually we had had the 2 usual encores. We wondered what they would sing now as encore. After I can't help myself came the drumsolo and The Wolf. Again Joey fell when he did a salto. But now he didn't hurt himself like last year. He himself laughed the hardest.
- Angels flying
- Warriors of love. Paddy plays piano there and Jimmy walked up to him and slammed on the piano which was a bad sound of course, but Paddy just went on and wasn't disturbed by it.
- Alle Kinder brauchen Freunde
- Medley - German song
- Anton aus Tirol
- My Bonnie
- An der Nordseeküste
- One more freaking dollar. Here Paddy started with the thing he does often in Germany. He shouts 'Prost der säcke' and the audience shouts 'Prost der sack, auf der Paddy, sack sack sack. - Take my hand Paddy wore, while going by the audience, a t-shirt with 'loreley 2000 and ich war dabei'

26.08.00 Loreley

We didn't have a break during the concert and now it was time for the encore and we were so curious. When they came up they stood in a half circle, like with the unplugged thing, but now they were standing. And they started with
- Motherhood Jimmy sang the leadvocals very well. It was so unbelievable.
Then came Pray pray pray. After that the didn't know what to play. Paddy started playing guitar and we could see the rest wonder what would come. ut when Paddy started singing Nobody knows the trouble I've seen, they all immediatly sang along. After that we saw that Patricia prepared to sing a song and it was Ave Maria. It was so beautiful, I had goosepumps all over my arms.
She has the best voice. The second part they all sang together and the audience sang along and it sounded like we were one big choir together.

26.08.00 Loreley

Then Patricia, Jimmy and Joey left and waved at us. Paddy started a new song and I could see Angelo asking if Paddy wanted him to sang along. Well, both Maite and Angelo sang along. It was a song called something like Thank you blessed Mary. And I garantee you, it is the most beautiful song you have ever heard. It probably will be on the next CD, because Paddy said they would sing one of their new songs. Then we thought it was finished, but Paddy decided to sing one more song and waved to Patricia, Jimmy and Joey to come back. They all had their equipment already off. You know the thing they wear in their ears and the transmitters on their back. So they hurried to put it on again and they sang the final very incredible song Calling heaven.

26.08.00 Loreley

Then they left and we went to the exit. We had seen an extremely good concert with an even better encore.
