17.3.2006 Kaizers Orchestra (Alte Feuerwache, Mannheim )
Friday, March 17th, 200616.3.2006 Kaizers Orchestra (Batschkapp, Frankfurt )
Thursday, March 16th, 2006OK, I’ll really cut it a little shorter today, I’m not in the mood for writing today… =;-) Which doesn’t mean the concert was bad – it definitely was not! It’s about the same range as the concert in Brussels yesterday, which means not quite as good as Cologne, but not too far from it either. From a musical point of view, it wasn’t that good yesterday – there were several wrong tones and weird sounds, but that’s just the way it is with live concerts – and the atmosphere on stage was really good, and that’s something that is always contagious.

15.3.2006 Kaizers Orchestra (AB Club, Brüssel )
Wednesday, March 15th, 2006You shouldn’t try to drive in Brussels – or if you do, you should remember beforehand that there’s no such thing as “signs” in Belgium… Otherwise, you will end up somewhere in Brussels, without the slightest clue of where you are and where you want to go… well, at least the sun was up. =;-) And as I ended up on a parking spot about 10 meters from the entrance of the club, I’m not gonna complain. *g*

14.3.2006 Kaizers Orchestra (Stollwerck, Köln )
Tuesday, March 14th, 2006The next concert, this time in Cologne. And the Cologne concerts have always been special – just like this time! The concert was amazing, the place was sold out, the audience wanted to have a lot of fun, the band had a lot of fun playing and the frontman had problems with his voice… But this didn’t matter much. Okay, sometimes he was croaking more than singing, but so what – if I want to hear it sung perfectly, I just listen to the record, I don’t need a concert for that! And I go to a concert if I want to see a few hundred people screaming, clapping, dancing, jumping and having a lot of fun – just like yesterday in Cologne.

13.3.2006 Kaizers Orchestra (Doornroosje, Nijmegen )
Monday, March 13th, 2006Next day, next concert… my second concert of the tour, and if they keep on getting better like this every day, I’m really looking forward to Munich. I mean, I’m looking forward to Munich anyway… but you know what I mean. =;-)

12.3.2006 Kaizers Orchestra (Effenaar, Eindhoven )
Sunday, March 12th, 2006Finally another tour! And this time I decided to skip some of the concerts in Germany, they are just too far to drive. And Holland surprises me every time I go there, it’s just so close? =;-) Weird. Well, so the first concert of the tour was in Eindhoven. On the way there I got to visit Uden, picking up Linda there, and then we were on our way to Eindhoven. And looking for the Effenaar… according to their website, “you see it as soon as you are at the station”. Sure… especially if you come from the wrong side! =;-) But even if you’re on the right side, a little sign would be really really helpful…. But well, we found it in time, so no complaints.

7.3.2006 Kaizers Orchestra (Kampen Bistro, Oslo)
Tuesday, March 7th, 2006Not to make anyone jealous, but living in Oslo has its advantages. For example when people tell you about unannounced concerts where you should just drop by. Well, why not, I thought, found myself a Canadian concert partner for the evening and went to what I thought would be a short Skambankt concert on somebody’s birthday.

18.11.2005 Kaizers Orchestra (Rockefeller, Oslo )
Friday, November 18th, 2005The next day was completely chaotic and annoying, but well, no wonder – the day before went too perfectly, so that today everything had to go wrong, of course. But not everything went wrong, and in the end we had almost everything we wanted. And definitely everything we needed. Thus it was perfect.

17.11.2005 Kaizers Orchestra (Rockefeller, Oslo )
Thursday, November 17th, 2005My last concerts of this tour, the “big finale” so to say, were two concerts in Oslo in Rockefeller. I must admit that I was just a wee bit sceptical about that – I mean, I’ve seen this show often enough now, and as the Rockefeller concerts were not the last concerts of the tour (only MY last concerts), I didn’t expect any suprises. Actually, there were no surprises – except for the fact that those concerts were among the best I’ve ever seen, and well, Kaizers are just the very very best band live!

6.10.2005 Kaizers Orchestra (Vega, Kopenhagen)
Thursday, October 6th, 2005During the next day I did some more sightseeing – but somehow I wasn’t that impressed. Maybe because I walked around fairly aimlessly ’cause I had no idea about what to visit in Copenhagen? Or maybe I was just too tired? Or maybe Copenhagen is not really the most interesting city to visit? I don’t know, but it didn’t matter, I was not bored, and at night we went back to Vega. This time up to the gallery, ’cause I didn’t really want to go through all the pushing and sweating down in the front again – and also, ’cause I finally wanted to SEE what happens in the audience when Killmaster runs through the crowd and the Jackal jumps and so on. *g*
