2001 - SOLO AGAIN - LIVE IN HOLLAND
Gold Circle has a brand office in the Netherlands, which might be the reason that brings John for a short promotion trip
The Boerderij is only a small battle ground with a capacity
for approx. 750 visitors. John has already won the fan´s hearts
before he has even sung the very first chord. As a support, he brings along only two musicians of his band:
It is the very first unplugged gig for John and he sings the BAD ENGLISH
classical tune „Time Stood Still“,
assisted by acoustic backing only. This song wasn´t planned and John hardly remembers the lyrics so they download
them from the internet and it´s gonna be a howling success.
„Masterpiece of Loneliness“, however, is planned but John discontinues. He won´t sing that song. „... too sad“,
he apologizes. The fans take it easy.
John Waite is impressed by the great feedback in Europe and surprised at the same time.
„It wouldn´t have been possible without the Internet“, he knows. „The internet is a fantastic ting. I mean, it´s worldwide!
And my fans have always been there. I stepped out on stage and performed, without having a new CD out and
they were there. Honestly, where would I be without them? I mean, the time between ‚Temple Bar’, ‚When You Were Mine’
and ‚Figure In a Landscape’ - where would I be without my fans? They've been with me through thick and thin.
More European tour dates are on the plan and John is highly motivated. Understandably enough he mostly looks forward to
England: „On November 13, we play the London 'Garage' “, he beams with joy and optimism.„And if possible we do
a small club tour through Europe. Great Britain, France, Germany, Spain and
Italy. Gold Circle is very keen on me
doing stuff outside America. It's the first record company that is very interested on that.“
