Wolfgang Thiel, probably Trier's most versatile bassist, played bass, Gerd Irmen was on drums, Christian Wendt played electric piano and keyboards, Walter Scherbaum played saxophone, and Michael Schulze played guitar and sang.
Our gigs in the American officers' clubs were particularly popular. There, we not only earned good money but also enjoyed a special atmosphere. We had already developed a fondness for the "American victors" in our childhood. America seemed to us to be the land of prosperity, freedom, and security. The GIs were friendly, generous, and open to music – many had German girlfriends. They came from a country where pop music was a natural part of everyday life and spoke the language in which the songs of our idols were written.
... We had a six-month-long gig at the Mühlengarten in Nittel on the Moselle River, where we performed meticulously crafted arrangements – as well as pieces with French-sounding, imaginative lyrics that garnered enthusiastic applause from the audience.
