Palladium, Cologne, Germany26th May 2007
Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark (OMD), Lovers Electric
These were such great news when OMD were guests in the German TV-Show “The ultimate Chartshow - the most successful artists of the 80ies” in 2005. After this performance Andy McCluskey and Paul Humphreys said in an interview they are planning to work together again. There was it once again - wonders can always happen. In January 2006 there was written on their official homepage they want to produce a new album and want to go on tour in 2007 with the original members. Before that, they had already performances in different German cities during “Nokia’s Night of the Proms” in late 2006. There is still no new album out, but we had the opportunity to celebrate the old hits with OMD in Cologne. It seemed many fans were waiting for this moment, because they had to change the venue from the E-Werk to the bigger Palladium. Too many people wanted to see the guys again. OMD - Forever live and (never) die!

Gelredome, Arnhem, the Netherlands05 May 2007
Roger Waters
On Holland's liberation day it's time for a lot of festivals all through the country. But some 33,000 fans come to see Roger Waters perform at the Gelredome again. Outside the venue masses gather in front of the McDrive that had been transformed into a McWalk people relax in the sun before they can enter the stadium of Arhem bases soccer team Vitesse. Those who had a ticket seem to be more fortunate than the crew of Reflections of Darkness however. Due to miscommunication between label and promotor it's impossible to stay after the first three songs. The show must go on...

Patronaat, Haarlem, the Netherlands14th May 2007
Keith Caputo, Taxi to the Ocean
It's a Monday night and when approaching the venue it seems like it was the wrong day of the week to do a concert. But inside the venue the space quickly filled up with people. Eventhough it was just the small hall it was eventually a sold out concert and that's always good for an artist, especially when it really makes them happy. A mixed crowd of all ages and backgrounds had come to see an intimate show of the little man with a great voice.

Effenaar, Eindhoven, the NetherlandsMay 19, 2007
VNV Nation, Imperative Reaction, Modulate
Yesterday, VNV Nation has played their last show in Germany for the Judgement tour. Tonight the last show of second part of the tour was played in Eindhoven. We really were not the only ones knowing this. The Effenaar was packed with people by the time VNV nation started. The crowd was as varied as could be. Half of the Eindhoven metal scene was there, as well as Belgium dance freaks. Sometimes I would see some cyber Goth dolls pas by. Before this, there were a few support acts to get the audience warmed up.

Zeche, Bochum, Germany2nd April 2007
The 69 Eyes, Wednesday 13, Maryslim
On a sunny Sunday in April, we went to the concert of THE 69 EYES, WEDENESDAY 13 and MARYSLIM. This evening was promised to be a good one with all those great bands. This evening, the Zeche Bochum was completely sold out and you had problems to even have room to just stand to enjoy the concert. A lot of fans were waiting to see one of their favourite bands: THE 69 EYES. And a lot of people were also there to see WEDNESDAY 13 perform.
