After the show we were another three days in Chicago with Rainer Barbi and Jørgen Nielsen.
In former times the old Water Tower was the highest building in Chicago...
in the skyscraper aside you hurry now to the 94. floor within 40 seconds
and have a beautiful view on Chicago.
Good food, some beers and ...
the Chicago Blues. That´s what you need to relax after the show.
It was just fantastic!
Thanks again to the boys and girls that we could make this great experience.
