H-Blockx - Magdeburg 2007

We were late this day and so, we were only able to see H-BLOCKX performing that night. Entering the Factory in Magdeburg you could see that the concert was pretty crowded and many people were standing and waiting for the H-BLOCKX to enter the stage. We hoped for a nice evening as well.

Music
The sound was pretty ok and what’s most important: it didn’t blow you away like on other concerts. There was one thing that really surprised me: Henning’s (vocals) voice wasn’t any different from the one he has on the CDs. Usually, the live-voice is different but this time it wasn’t the case at all. Weird but actually pretty good. Another thing that kept in my mind was that the sound they played live is rougher than the music they record. That isn’t basically anything new but when we entered the room, I saw all those “pretty normal” looking people and didn’t expect to be at a hard concert. I mean, I didn’t bother me at all. When the H-BLOCKX played one of their best-known songs, ‘Leave me alone’, they started out with an acoustic version which really amazed me. I haven’t heard the song in that kinda way. I really liked but I was also happy when they started playing the normal more rock-like version of the song. H-BLOCKX brought a lot of surprises, good ones.



Performance
Soon after getting in, the concert started and the crowd basically just went crazy. They started to party immediately which was pretty fun to watch if you ask me. H-BLOCKX did a good show. Since the stage of the Factory isn’t the biggest one I’ve ever seen in my life, I didn’t know how if they would be able to deliver all the power they have for example in their videos or so. But they actually managed it to do so. Henning just jumped around and he was all over the place. All the others members tried to do that, too but somehow, it didn’t always work out that well. He wore this striped shirt and the black hat with it. He actually looked kinda funny in this outfit but I think, he didn’t think so. All in all, the show they did was one big party what you can see when you took a look in the audience. They had a lot of fun dancing and moshing around. It was pretty funny to watch.
