Saturday morning ... on the road again to some more Elton John shows ... passing Lake Constance, where only 48 hours later a tragic plane crash would occur.

How much longer to go? Well, ...

... at least we seem to be going in the right direction.

High noon - meeting up with other Swiss fans (Hercules Swiss manager Bruno Kohli, right) ...

... for lunch close to the venue!

Feed me!

Seven more hours to go until show time: Some fans are expectant ...

... others act as if in trance.

Six hours before the show the groups checks out the venue ...

Sold out - check!

Wow, a long list of forbidden items. No cameras!? Damn it!

Fans having a good time (see sign on top) ...

... Steal Away Child ...

... has to get one of those nice Elton John posters.

Look! There's another one ... no, not the potatoe with the chef's hat.

Yeah, that's the one ...

German play of words: "Thomy" is the brand for mustard etc. "Bruder" means brother, and "scharfer" stands for both hot (like mustard) and hot (like a good looking woman/man).

Thanks to Keith Bradley this group of fans made it into the venue 15 minutes before doors.

These guys came 2 1/2 hours later.

Why is it that church bells always ring early Sunday morning? Very early ... yawn!

Follow that Elton-stickered car ...

Time for a stop at the roadhouse (for those non-Europeans: Shops are closed on Sunday, so one has to shop at gas stations).

What song is pictured here? Okay, it's not an Elton song ... think Jagger/Richards. Got it? - Under My Thumb!

Back to Zurich ...

Hey, isn't this that Elton-stickered car again?

Ooops, we almost forgot ... it's soccer final time, so let's hurry ...

... open the beer bottles ...

... switch on the television ...

... and let's have something to eat!

No, we won't eat this cute ferret ...

... and the neat cat is off limits as well.

Another hot day ... five hours before show time!

"We should leave for the venue, don't you think?"

"Hey kids, shake it loose together ..."

"The spotlight's hitting something ..."

"That's been known to change the weather ..."

"We'll kill the fatted calf tonight ..." - oops, sorry Elton!
