Sorry I can only write it in English German would take me ages
We have found a plane from Budapest to Kutaisi (Georgia) for a really low price (60€ for a return ticket), and all the other concerts were already sold out, so we decided to go.
We have spent some days in Georgia, what a beautiful place! We got a minibus first to Tbilisi, than to Yerevan. It's only 450km, but the roads are quite extreme, full of potholes, snow, and cows, so it took us about 12 hours to get there.
After having dinner 2 days before the concert, we started walking in the direction of System's hotel. Daron and John were drinking outside, guarded by their security & police. A guy started playing system songs on guitar, we and others from Iran, the USA, Russia, and other countries started to sing together. They quite liked it, their photographer Greg Watermann filmed the whole thing. Daron liked it too, helped to sing the solos as the player guy couldn't play them.
We tried to convince him to play a song, he said it's his day off. But he will go inside the hotel, and sing a song in front of the Serbian minister's door - he will see if he really likes metal or not After waiting for 1,5 hours in the rain, we could finally take some pictures and get an autograph, something what I still can't believe
Getting in to to concert was a pain in the ass, we were waiting from 8 in the morning. The whole area was closed, with policemen all over the city. They opened the gates around 4 pm, but the crowd broke down the barriers shortly after. There were other security checks later on closer to the stage, with iron detectors and so on.
The concert itself was quite amazing, even though it was raining heavily the whole time. They let in umbrellas, so sometimes it was really hard to see. Longest setlist they have ever played, same songs as at the other stops but featuring both ATWA & Roulette. Serj spoke to the crowd some words in Armenian, but he mostly spoke in English. I've seen them on the two previous tours, I think the one in 2013 was the best. But this concert was so special for them and the Armenians, I've felt really lucky to be there! You could see that it's a free concert (people were going home because of the rain, you could see old people around, and less circle pits than usual ), but it also had it's positive side.
We could see that the members of system are national heroes, and people really went crazy seeing them. Hundreds were waiting all day in front of their hotel, we were so lucky to go there on the first day - later it would have been impossible to catch them, so many policemen around. They have played half of their songs, and even though Serj's voice is not like in the old times, he sings quite well. Daron is as good as ever John and Shavo too, but they don't have to sing
These countries are the best places I have ever been to, definitely going back as soon as possible!

Bounce bisher mein klares Highlight
Aber teilweise ist die Stimme von Serj schon nicht mehr das Beste..
Wie der Kameramann im Hintergrund bei chop suey mitsingt
Ahhhhh jetzt muss ich weg
Hoffe es später in YouTube zu finden.
