May 2008: A Glass Of Champagne & The Secretary

A Glass Of Champagne & The Secretary
18 May 1991

This is the original line up of SAILOR with:
~ Georg Kajanus (vocals, guitar), Henry Marsh (Nickelodeon), Phil Pickett (bass Nickelodeon), Grant Serpell (drums) ~

Due to upcoming events you can now watch two songs of SAILOR at a huge open air concert in Bad Segeberg, Germany, on 18 May 1991. SAILOR will play at this very venue again on 17 May 2008 - almost exactly 17 years after their comeback concert!

This is what the original SAILOR fan club biography from the early 90s said about this concert:
"Bad Segeberg, Germany -- 18 May 1991:
It is a hot summer evening and a fifteen thousand strong audience seated in an outdoor environment, similar to a Roman amphitheatre, is waiting in anticipation for a very special opening act. The rapturous applause for SAILOR is way beyond Grant, Georg, Henry and Phil's expectations as they emerge from a giant sized juke box, evoking a feeling that they have been beamed back to Earth after their twelve-year absence. Wearing battered-looking white suits but looking remarkably unbattered and youthful, the band bounds with enthusiasm to their waiting instruments, the opening bars of "A Glass Of Champagne" literally bringing the audience to its feet.
The momentous occasion is further enhanced by the other acts due to play that evening forsaking their last-minute rehearsals to witness and applaud SAILOR's return."

Hi Katrin !
I happened to be on the internet tonight and just after midnight, I thought I had a look at the sailor site. You really ARE on time with your video of the month !;) It is nice, sentimentally speaking, as it was their comeback concert, but I preferred last month's videos as those were songs I hadn't listened to for a long time (I don't listen to my vinyls).;)
Keep on your wonderful work !
