Recorded for television by German channel ARD, Gerry Weber Stadium, Halle (Westphalia) – sponsored by DUGENA

Description:
Once again Katarina Witt broke all the rules of traditional figure skating when she performed a figure skating show at a tennis stadium in the middle of August. In this intimate setting, world-class ice skaters shone like stars in a perfect summer night. Live guitar music did the rest to make this a magical evening: Katarina Witt knew Uwe Hassbecker personally, one of the best contemporary, German guitarists. So it was not hard for her to persuade him to compose a classic blues number for her. Their joint appearance was the highlight of the show.
