LTU-Arena, Düsseldorf, Germany
20th January 2006
Depeche Mode and The Bravery
It’s more than four years ago since Dave Gahan, Martin Gore and Andy Fletcher entered Europe’s stages. Fans all over the world awaited them back - and with the album “Playing the Angel” they came back with a flourish in autumn 2005. The band toured the USA from end of October to December 2005 and started the European leg of their tour on 13th January in Dresden/Germany. The two concerts in Düsseldorf were with nearly 50.000 people each sold out and probably the biggest indoor concerts during the tour. It is still unbelievable that this band can attract so many people after more than 25 years in music business. But hey, who ever has seen them performing wants to do it again and again. The three boys from Basildon were accompanied on stage again by Christian Eigner on drums and Peter Gordeno on Keyboard.

The Peppel, Zeist, The Netherlands November 14th 2003
Epica, Sengir, Trisomy
One of the first 'tours' from Epica was this package. Playing in almost every venue to practise, to get the experience and to win the audience. In those days you could see Epica growing, especially Simone from a shy to a strong frontwoman.

Soulfly, Moonspell, Tiamat, Morbid Angel, Michael Schenker Group, Enslaved, Epica, Krisiun, Immemorial, Decapitated, Trauma
After a long trip by train from more than 17 hours I arrived in Katowice, a big city like some old german ones with grey buildings from the ’70. There is not so much snow and the sun is shining. After a long trip where I couldn’t sleep because 5 people disturbed my rest to have a look in my passport, I was very glad to see that the hotel is 10 minutes away from the concerthall. Without any problems I get my presscard that is the beginning of a long day.
