Zeche, Bochum, Germany8th November 2008
Kajagoogoo, Point of View
When the news came up that KAJAGOOGOO would re-unite for a tour in original line-up in November 2008, it was a total surprise for me and one thing was sure: I needed to see that! Grown up with their music and hits like ‘Too shy’ in the eighties, I never ever had the chance before to see them live on stage. Very exciting to have the chance now! The people gathering in the Zeche Bochum were obviously also grown up in the eighties, the average age was at least mid-thirty. One after another, the band member had left the band and 1985 it was totally over. Now, after 25 years absence from German stages, all five together were back to rock the Zeche and even present some new songs. Opening act was the German synth pop formation POINT OF VIEW.

Raismes Fest 2008 - Day 2: Swamp, Interria, Nedra, Die Apokalyprischen Reiter, Würm, Soul Doctor, Amartia, Machiavel, Wizard Kind, Korpiklaani, Winterland, Uli Jon Roth, Gamma Ray
After a short but good night’s sleep, we were back for more. The weather had taken a turn for the better. It seemed we’re going to keep it dry today. And lucky us, we even got a bit of autumn sunshine. Hoping the sun would convince some more people to come and enjoy the performances and spend their money, we made our way to the Discovery Scene, anxious to get this second and final part of the RaismesFest started. My legs were killing me, but that would soon be forgotten.
