Tivoli, Utrecht, The NetherlandsApril 28th 2005
Paradise Lost, Orphaned Land and Society 1
Due to the late arrival of a sound engineer the show started an hour too late. In the mean time quite a row had formed in the hall of Tivoli, it was very warm. Then finally the doors opened and all could go in. The first band started quickly and the show was on the road. The opening acts were only known to a few members in the audience but the response to both bands was good. Even tough the hall was full, the venue was not packed, the balcony wasn’t open, some 700 tickets were sold.

Kramladen, Kaiserslautern, Germany22nd April 2005
ASP and Nuuk
I drove to Kaiserslautern without knowing what to expect there. So far, I didn´t know neither the Kramladen nor Nuuk or ASP live. So I could look forward to a lot of news for me. Arrived in Kaiserslautern I hit the road to get to the Kramladen wich is a small club among the campus of Kaiserslauterns university. Arrived at the campus I followed several black goth´s until I arrived at an closed door together with 50 other waiting people.

Kulturfabrik, Krefeld, Germany28th April 2005
Girls under Glass, The Fair Sex
I´ve seen this combination - The Fair Sex and Girls under Glass - several years before together in the Odeon in Münster. It was a great concert and so I was looking very much forward to see these two bands together again. You cannot say that there was a main act and a support band this evening. Both bands were somehow the headliners and played equally long. The concert took place in the small club of the Kulturfabrik in Krefeld, one of my most visited and favourite concert locations.

Zwischenfall, Bochum, Germany29th April 2005
Pink Turns Blue
With phantasmagoric beautiful Wave songs, Pink Turns Blue enchanted their listeners in the 80s and at the beginning of the 90s. This gloomy but immense soulful German Wave band, which was writing very gentle to desperate songs first of all at the beginning, could satisfy especially with the first both albums. In the 90s the band split up and it came to a very long break. In 2003 they gave a re-union concert during the "Wave Gotik Treffen" and now the new CD "Phoenix" has been released.

Soundgarden, Dortmund, GermanyApril 24th 2005
VNV Nation, Diorama and Soman
Only two days after my last VNV Nation concert I made my way to Dortmund to see the last concert of the European tour. Final concerts are always something special so I was looking very much forward it. We arrived half past 7 just when the doors were open for 30 minutes. So this time no waiting time outside. We directly went into a still quite filled venue and during the support bands there should come much more people in. This time the technical crew had enough time to prepare everything so the lightshow with all bands was much better.
