@Never Land:


Try a hotel. I´m sorry I can´t offer you a room because I still live with my parents... but there are surely some nice hotels in Wiesbaden.

As above re setlist.

Sound (down the front) was the best I've heard for years. Having :von: 's vocal monitor directly in front of you is always a bonus. :wink:

:von: seemed in a good mood. No chat with the audience (except the 'thank yous') but very animated. Funny faces, plenty of movement and even an attempt at a robotic dance. And instead of disappearing into the smoke during vocal breaks, he only went halfway and kept striking poses or doing some weird Tai Chi type movements.

Overall lasting impression is that they appear to be a band as opposed to three separate individuals. Very tight and very slick.

Good to see Ozpat again and meet Paul and Pearson.

A Top Nite Out. 8)

Nice show indeed. :von: 's vocals clear , even yelling instead of mumbling sometimes (Ribbons).

Venue was not very nice, but the overall sound was good though. Nice to meet some HL-ers in the front row.

Crowd was calm, but enthusiastic in the first few rows.

"Arms" sounds better every time I hear it, same as "Floorshow", although the Nurse could push the Doc a little further ...

cheers and see you in Cologne

What a effin' great gig it was! WAW!!!
Arrived early so had a short talk with Ben. Very very gratefull that he had my Postcards From Above The Chemist copy signed by Von! :D :notworthy: :D :notworthy:

Johnny's (great to see you and your missus again my friend) review sums it all up very well. Not the best setlist so far (absence of Good Things, Giving Ground and On The Wire) but hey, I won't complain.

Nice to meet some HL-ers I did not meet till last night like pearson!

Paul; thank you for driving us home safely through harsh weather with snow, mist and lots of rain! :notworthy:

Setlist in wrong order:

Afterhours Intro
Crash & Burn
Ribbons
Train/Det Blvd.
Alice

Arms
Summer
Flood I
Marian
This Corrosion
Floorshow
Suzanne
Flood II
Dominion/Mother Russia
