Mogwai II & RM Hubbert

My second Mogwai gig in the sold-out WUK. Compared to the Arena gig in 2009, the venue seems a bit small, and the very last bit of the sonic punch seems to be missing here. But you are never wrong in WUK.

Buddies: Bernie and his band mate Thomas

Score: 4.5 out of 5 stars

Another Gig? But only if they promise me to finally play 'Hunted By A Freak' :-).

Adam Rogers Trio

A fabulous jazz guitarist with his ES-335 and two Fender Blackface Amps, joined by a bassist and a drummer. Nothing can go wrong here.

Buddies: Jakob
Score: 4 out of 5
Another gig: Absolutely!

Them Crooked Vultures & And So I Wach You From Afar

Look at the price tag! Yes TCV has been hyped for their first album. Performance was flawless, anyway. And many thanks for the perfect turtle neck!

Buddies: Pez

Score: 5 out of 5
Merchandize: a very cool hood sweater
Another gig? TCV are no longer...

Lamb Of God (Job For A Cowboy and others)

I go to this gig with a severe cold. Since Arena is completely sold out, I prefer to stay on the balcony. Despite the average sound up there, it was much fun.

       

Ticket secured from Rainer, many thanks!!!

Buddies: Rainer, Tom
Score: 4 out of 5 (just due to my own physical condition)
Merchandize: Tour T-Shirt
Another gig? Yes, it's a great live band.

Detailed review to follow.

Paul Di Anno + Guests

Wait a second, EUR 15.10 for seeing the original voice of Iron Maiden (some would say, the only voice)? Sad, but true. Viper was packed with some 350 fans, who are honored to see a good performance despite Mr. Di Anno's apparent health problems.

Buddies: Rainer, Harald, Action, Pez, Michael

Score: 4 out of 5 stars

Another gig? Why not?

Mogwai & Remember Remember

My impressions from this first Mogwai gig are still stronger than from most of my other gigs. If you have a chance seeing them live, you will understand.

Buddies: Harald

Score: 4.5 out of 5 stars

Merchandize: a cool black Mogwai hood

Another gig? Always and certainly.
