Sauerlandpark ~ Hemer, Germany ~ August 30, 2015

Dear Roger, thank You for the great concert in Hemer. It was my 59 birthday . You , the place, the weather, everthing was perfect. I won't forget this day. Greetings
~ Dietrich


Yes, it was another great show with Roger in Hemer, Germany. The venue is very nice, it is a smooth ride from the area where I live, parking is free, the weather on Sunday was very nice, perhaps too hot for us Germans!

Attending one of Roger's shows to me is always something very special and this time it was even more special to me due to private reasons I do not want to write about here. Seeing him to me is like meeting an old friend, his songs are more than a listening experience, his concerts more than entertainment - these songs touch me deep in my heart and soul - perhaps these days more than ever before. Lord Is It Mine is the best example.

Although one of my favourites - Hide In You Shell - was missing, there were still nice surprises for me: I think I had never heard Had A Dream live before, Only Because Of You was another addition from the great In The Eye Of The Storm album. As most concerts before were without a full band, the show was also different from others I had attended, some songs really coming very close to the recorded versions.

If you have never been to one of Roger´s concerts, I can only tell you: go and enjoy one of his shows! ~ Dirk


Bye bye Roger,  Soon you're leaving Germany...  It was great to have here. I hope, you all enjoyed your time here! My brother and me were very happy to see you, your band and Linda in Hemer, it was a wonderful evening we will never forget! We wish you all the best for your further tour and hope you will come back next year! It would be great if we were able to meet you once again somewhere in Germany next year to say hello!

Dear Roger as you know, I surprised my brother with this concert. He had no idea, until we arrived at the venue. When we got out of the car, I gave him a letter, and while he was reading it, we could hear the soundcheck, you played: Only because of you....and this is, what I wrote:

"My dear brother, I 'HAD A DREAM', and it's 'CRAZY'.....it came true.

'THE TWO OF US' are going to make a little journey, but don't be a 'DREAMER', we won't have 'BREAKFAST IN AMERICA', that only happens in 'A SOAPBOX OPERA'.

We're going to meet an old friend, who will 'GIVE A LITTLE BIT' of his love to us.

I hope 'IT'S (not) RAINING AGAIN'.......no, we're not going to 'LONDON'. ;)

So, don't 'HIDE IN YOUR SHELL' and come with me.....trust me, I'm a 'LADY' !

And after this little journey we will 'TAKE THE LONG WAY HOME'!

It's 'ONLY BECAUSE OF YOU'! Enjoy!"

I'm not sure, but I thought, I saw some tears of happiness in my brother's eyes ;)
And when you began to play, my brother (and me too) was overcome with joy.
Everytime I looked at him, I saw his eyes shining, and I knew, I've done everything right and I had a big smile on my face during the whole show! :)  He wants to let you know, that he has seen you 1978 in Cologne with Supertramp, and today seeing you again after 37 years was a dream that came true, and he said, it was an amazing show....yes! It was! A big thank you to you and your great band. And a big thank you for spending a little bit of your time with us after the show. It was so great to meet you! You can be sure that we will come to see you again someday! Thanks to all, who helped me making this surprise possible! <3 Much love <3 ~ Merle Kosch
