Peter Murphy (29. oct. 2011)

We had for long had this ticket for a Peter Murphy concert (that took place just a few hours ago), and as I was a little hangover from yesterdays Halloween party, I weren't completely sure if I wanted to go or not. But In the end I decided to go (Which I am now very happy for).

So, we managed to get one of the best spots, in front of the stage. First of all, the concert - it was great. They played good, and they had some kind of humor between the songs aswel, that made it easy to relate to the people in a way.
Then. This thing with the humor. At some point in the concert, after one of the songs, Peter starts talking to me and my boyfriend. Unfortunately, the vocals (or talking) is a little hard to hear when standing in front of the stage, but he said something about wanting the two of us showered, dried and then covered in oil (relax people, it was a joke) in his backstage room after the concert. This was early in the concert. Almost at the end, he said to us (without using the microphone) "you two, back afterwards". We were really confused, and didn't know if we miss heard or what, but when the concert was over, we decided to just wait a little, to be sure. Sitting there for a while we suddenly see a head (Peter) popping up on stage for a few tiny seconds, and half a minute after that the roadie came to us. He had a really serious attitude, and took himself a moment before he said anything to us. I almost thought someone had died or something like that. "Peter would like to see the both of you. Are you ok with that?". Yes of course! who the hell would say no to that? So, we met the guy, talked a for a little while, for then to get our friends backstage. Then, we ended up sitting there, talking to all the members of the band (especially Peter) for about two hours. And I just have to say, Peter (having been such a big name in the goth scene for so long) was a extremely nice guy!

Karina, Peter and me.
