Yes, that was something. A great setlist of old and new stuff, perfectly framed by PPP and Fools Gold. Vocals pretty much on point as was the flow. You could tell they had a good time on stage. The sound was fine for the most part (I had a hard time hearing the guitars in some of the louder parts). The crowd was great as well (maybe a bit too much clapping but hey, the band encouraged it so who am I to nitpick). Lucifer took me a bit by surprise. I knew that it’s a great song but the energy in those guitar duels between Snah an Reine was incredible. Only one show for me this time but it was a great one.

Yes, my only show on this tour, too but what a great one!

The band started – like in Bern – with a six minute long improvisation. An ear witness told me that it was similiar with the Bern impro.

I compared it with the “Köln” track on Roadwork V: The Dresden impro is darker, gloomier. The guitar licks are much different.

I liked it that the band played six songs of the new albums (Neigh! and the self titled one) – If they don’t play the new songs now when else can I hear them?

The tour is almost over but the long songs (Gullible, Neotzar and Tower) are still played, even in the second half of the set.

PPPP clocked in at nearly 14 minutes – with the intro a welcomed candidate for a vinyl side of another RW

Update: rather 12 minutes+, but still extended

Tomcat.

Wow! I was wondering how this one could be so long given the setlist, that could be (part of) the answer. Hoping for a recording to surface!

A recording will “surface” tomorrow on dime.

From the band’s social media post:

“Dresden! That was The Bomb.
Thank you so much, we needed that! Nights like this are the reason we’re still out here doing this: All the toil is justified when the all becomes one and the music becomes a singular, magic entity like it did tonight. It is vital to sometimes be reminded of why you do what you do, and nights like this is why we’re still out here doing it. We first played this club 32 years ago, and it still is one of the best places we know. Thank you for this gift!”

Thanks for the recording.

Damn, that version of PPPP is one for the history books
