Hooray! I believe this might be my final breakthrough.

I worked for a local company this weekend, on a larger music event featuring One Republic, Sunrise avenue, Revolverheld and more and today someone posted me a link, with the comment “you’re on youtube”.

Well he was right, sec 0:28 the black shadow like thing with the cam :-)

One more important thing struck me though. Why are people paying an entrance fee, to finaly watch the whole event on the display of their crappy mobile phones? Taking a few pictures is one thing but what I saw there … wicked … I’m getting to old for this world :)

After spending half my weekend in a marvelous Audi Q7 (I love that car!) on my way to the Fury farewell show I spend half my evening on the way to a Coldplay show yesterday. Thanks to the mother of all traffic jams followed by the mother of all parking lot searches I missed the support act (does anyone know who played?) and was even close to missing the show. (Evil german roads!)

What a show! They had every show effect available on the market! ALL of them!

Moving curtains to start smooth, lasers, awesome video spheres, a 4-Barco Cluster, moving grids and last but not least the most impressive confetti lunch (actually it was more of a continuous never ending rain) that I’ve ever seen. But without all the bells and whistles, there was not much Coldplay left. Sound was close to awful and a 90 minute show might be enough but I felt like something was missing.

Positive thing is that I didn’t like the new album before the show and now can’t stop listening to it. Well done guys.

Maybe they are pushing the show part to much, maybe I’m too much in love with club gigs, maybe I was ina bad mood because of the freaking traffic jam. Doesn’t matter, if you have the chance to see them, buy a ticket! :)

I spend my weekend in Hannover, to say goodbye to one of the coolest Bands I know, or knew. After more than 20 Years the Furys will leave us but won’t retire yet. The last show was quite emotional even though the setlist was quite the same as for the rest of the tour.

We saw a whole set of the greatest Fury Hits, an unplugged Set in the middle of the crowd and a crowd-surfing, overweight german TV Star.

Won’t forget these days, and I never thought I would!

One more thing. The king is dead, long live the king. It might be Fury in the Slaughterhouse’s end, but there was also a reunion. Hannover needs at least one decent Rockband and therefore Terry Hoax are back together.
