In June 1984, Kerber was an opening act for Nightwing concerts in Yugoslavia. After this accident other members forbade Žikić to continue performing the fire-breathing act. He continued the concert despite doctor's advice, and later on continued the tour with bandages on his face. On May 19, 1984, during the band's open-air concert in Novi Sad, he got second-degree burns while attempting to breathe fire under windy conditions. After returning to Kerber, Žikić continued with his on-stage performance. Despite the good performance, Kerber did not fit well in the pop format of the Opatija festival with their hard rock sound. In January 1984, during the tour through Macedonia, first Zikić, and then Stamenković contracted infectious hepatitis, so in March, during the Kerber's performance at the music festival in Opatija, Stamenković was temporarily replaced by Generacija 5 drummer Boban Đorđević and Madić briefly re-entered the bass player's post for this occasion. The album was released by ZKP RTLJ and immediately became successful, with 10,000 copies sold during the first week. At about the same time, Kerber's Nebo je malo za sve was released, bringing hits "Mezimac", "Nebo je malo za sve" and "Heroji od staniola" ("Foil Heroes"). In December 1983, Kerber was an opening band on Uriah Heep, Ten Years After and Nightwing concerts in Yugoslavia. In July 1983, Kerber recorded their debut LP Nebo je malo za sve ( The Sky Is not Big Enough for All), mixed in Strawberry studio in Manchester, with Nightwing's bass guitarist Gordon Rowley as the producer. In May 1983, Kerber won the first place at Festival Omladina in Subotica with the song "Mezimac" ("Minion"). He was replaced by former Mama Rock and Plamteće Nebo member Zoran "Sosa" Žikić who had an attractive on-stage performance: he played an axe-shaped guitar and performed fire breathing. In early spring of 1982, Madić left the band due to his army obligations. During 1982 the band had numerous concerts in Niš and Serbia, while working on the material for their first album. In November 1981, Kerber had their first official concert in Muzički klub in Niš. Cannon), the band changed its name to Kerber. The original members of Kerber were Goran Šepa "Gale" ( vocals), Tomislav Nikolić ( guitar), Branislav "Bane" Božinović ( keyboard), Zoran Stamenković ( drums) and Zoran Madić ( bass guitar).
