Stars and hits with WAZ: 3000 fans kept on singing

CongressPark: Oldie Night was a huge success with Middle Of The Road, Ohio Express, SAILOR, Rattles

C'mon and sing. 3000 music fans did what the Rattles told them and sang the great hits of the great stars at the WAZ Oldie Night at the CongressPark Saturday night. Middle Of The Road, Ohio Express, SAILOR - everyone who wasn't there should be sad now. Not only the chief of the concert hall Uwe Rabe was convinced: "This was the best Oldie night of all time."

The people in Wolfsburg were in a great mood too. They danced, sang, shouted and celebrated a long party night that stopped at 4 am in the morning with an Oldie-disco. Many people had a long way home because the Oldie night in Wolfsburg is a magnet for music fans from Braunschweig to Celle. Dr. Markus Karp is impressed: "I don't remember the bands any more, but the Oldie night is great for Wolfsburg."
The Yellow Boomerang returned. Middle Of The Road made the fans dance in the full concert hall. Soley Soley, Sacramento, Twedle Dee Twedle Dum and of course Chirpy Chirpy Cheep Cheep - the sing-along hits created a great mood. Middle Of The Road proved that they can also sound different with cover-hits like Stop In The Name Of Love.
Musicians, especially from the Oldie genre, like to have fun together with the audience. When Middle Of The Road started to sing a German song ("Trink, Brüderlein, trink") all the 3000 visitors danced and sang together with them. And the other bands were funny, too! After quite a convincing "Jodler" Ohio Express started playing Rocking All Over The World. SAILOR performed Karma Chameleon, the Rattles played Peggy Sue and Smoke On The Water.
Of course they also played their hits: Yummy Yummy from Ohio Express, A Glass Of Champagne and Girls Girls Girls from SAILOR or The Witch and The Lion Sleeps Tonight from the Rattles. The WAZ Oldie night made a good mood until 2 am in the morning! The Rattles were happy: "What a great atmosphere! But maybe that's because the VfL won the match today..."

The text under the photo of Rob and Phil says:
Girls Girls Girls and also the boys loved them: SAILOR were absolutely marvellous. La Bamba and La Cumbia made the people in Wolfsburg dance.
