König-Pilsner Arena, Oberhausen, Germany20th October 2006
Pink and Lili
PINK just released a new album and when I heard that she was going on tour I thought I should give it a try and go there. What shall I say... if there is such a thing as "the show of the year", this might have been it. The presented music mix contained something for all different kinds of tastes and the acrobatic show was some kind of revolution. To top it off this perfect entertainment was not presented by one of the stylish mainstream artists but by the Enfant terrible of the pop scene.

Stuttgart, Universum, Germany05th October 2006
Orkus Festival – Club Tour Part II: Down Below, Zeromancer, Unheilig, Project Pitchfork
Although we worried about a small amount of visitors, the Universum got filled until the beginning of the concerts. After three years I especially looked forward to see Zeromancer again. I visited the Universum for the first time so I had to look at the rooms first. The second party of the Orkus Club Tour was touring again through Germany. The bands fit together in their styles. Three of four bands were from Germany. Unfortunately they had to deal with technical problems through the whole evening and sometimes it really hurt my ears, but in summary this was a nice evening, sharing good music with friends.

Tivoli, Utrecht, the Netherlands8th of October 2006
The Gathering, Vladimir
After the concert had been cancelled and moved it was now finally time to see The Gathering play in Tivoli, Utrecht. It was very busy especially for a Sunday evening. The crowd was quite a diverse gathering of people, I saw people of all ages and styles. Some very familiar with the scene and others not so much, I was even asked why I was here and not at a Within Temptation concert because my clothes were so ‘gothic’. Enough said, let’s talk about the wonderful concert that was given this evening.

Scala, Ludwigsburg, Germany27th September 2006
Camouflage and Kolkhorst
Thinking of well-known 80ies music and 80ies Parties Camouflage are always part of it. Their hits “The Great Commandment” and “Love is a shield” are already evergreens. As we heard that they are back we were immediately looking out for the tour dates. The band comes from Bietigheim, Germany – right in the neighbourhood of Ludwigsburg. So this was announced as a kind of “home game”. So we were really impressed when we arrived at the Scala. There were only a few people standing in front of the location. We hoped, this would get better, but it wasn’t so. Although the families of the band members joined the concert, the room was hardly more than half filled.
