Unfortunately I could not download it, but my guess is that he is somewhere on the backing vocals probably. I'm not sure he took the role of the drummer here, I'll try to find some information on the web.
Hi guys!
First of all, thank you for sharing!
Second, maybe Roger played in the same night, but not with Fish? I am a huge Fish/Marillion fan.. as per the big man's website (http://the-company.com/tourhist/1990.htm) he played a festival the night before on Jubeck. And judging by the shorter setlist, I would guess that this is a festival as well (and not a regular Fish concert).
May you all have a nice day! =)
Edit: A regular Fish setlist for 1990 would consist in some 16 songs or so.
OK, here is the information I could gather so far about this event. I could contact some people here and there and here is what I was answered :
"First I have to say that I was there in Gelsenkirchen, it was a Open Air Tour by Marius Müller Westernhagen
with Sly & Robbie, The Cross, and Fish with his Band as support acts.
As far as I can remember Sly & Robbie were first, then The Cross played their gig and finally Fish played with his band directly before Marius Müller Westernhagen. But I don't remember that Roger Taylor & Fish played together at the same time.
I really don't think they played something together...
Sorry, when I'm not sure, but this is 19 years ago, and I was only there to see Fish, I didn't like The Cross and I hated Sly & Robbie and I left the stadium when M.M.W. played the first 10 minutes :-)"
So we know now that nor Roger nor Fish played during the 10 first minutes of this show.... I still have some persons to contact, let's see what we will learn from that !
And The Cross would have played during this "festival", that information would need to be confirmed maybe...
Someone ?

Apparently Roger and Fish were backstage that day and decided to go on the stage to sing something with this German singer

I don't hear Roger also :(
If Fish supported Westernhagen as you say, surely this is just Fish's set prior to Westernhagen going on stage. So there is no "Westernhagen" or "Roger T", just Fish doing a small Marilion set earlier in the night?????
This is still mystery for me. Here's what I "know":
- an Italian collector says: "Roger was a guest star with Marillion's Fish in this concert andFish mentioned it in its own website if I don't go wrong"
- a German fan remembers: "There was an open air once during a Cross tour where Westernhagen was topperformer and The Cross were kind of an opener."
- and she later added: "Now that you mentioned Roger's appearance with Fish it all comes back to me.But it's a pretty long time ago and memory doesn't serve me too well"
And this is all I know. I don't know if The Cross played there as a support band or if Roger just had a day off and joined his friend Fish...
So maybe we should persist and seek for more memories.... Anyway, we can confirm that Roger was on stage on this date !! The only problem is what the heck was he doing on that stage...
I have asked my "source" if they still have memorabilia, ticket, poster.... Let's see !!
