. My colleague and I arrived around 17:30 clock before the Trier Arena, where already gathered a large gathering of people was waiting at the entrance doors. Inside scurried around people and always on the go to prepare everything on the number of visitors. We arrived so early because we get hold of good seats and a ticket at the box office for My colleague wanted to buy. We stood for an hour, the legs in the stomach, while behind us piled more and more concertgoers. At 18:30 they finally opened the gates, and my friend turned up in the ever-flowing stream in from people who paved the way to the box office, while I went directly into the building. As my colleague a little later accede to that we entered the hall and marveled at the sheer size of the hall, which reaches approximately to that of the largest concert hall in Luxembourg.
We fought before to the stage where there have been several accumulates Metal Heads. There we stood again in the stomach, the legs, sipped in our Cola or water (not beer, as input for concert-goers of this kind is commonplace) and waited for the first opening act. Meanwhile, the employees, the herumwuselten on stage, steady applause (a bald volunteers dedicated an already "slightly" drunken group of cheerful audience the song "You have beautiful hair"), which they acknowledged with pride poses. When the Lord colleague and I just ran to the bathroom and came back, started the 1.Vorband "Steelwing. Which offered good, down to earth 80's heavy metal with great solos and a self brillierenden in difficult and high pitch singer. They presented 5-6 songs before they are again at a respectable Applause again withdrew. Then again, followed by a longer pause between the first and 2.Vorband where we were joined to a friend of my colleague who had been waiting for his own words 4 years on this tour.
then entered the 2.Vorband, "Van Canto", the stage, and proved to be a pure joke. A cappella is all well and good, but A-Cappella-Metal is truly a torture for the ears. The four or five singers, so I just can no longer determine impersonated as mediocre beatboxer guitars and bass, only the drum set was genuine. That was really acceptable, but the annoying and embarrassing Rumgehopse Animation of the main singer provoked horrified head shaking. When they have a cover of Nightwish's "Wishmaster", one of my favorite songs, sang, I thought my ears, and Metallica's "Master of Puppets" put it completely in the sand with their ridiculous Inszinierung and pathetic grimaces with which they were obviously extremely "trve" act. Unfortunately, they all seemed serious and not to my parody. As a thank you they received the three of us no applause and the shouts of my colleagues, who called for other well-known bands, the singer responded with an enervated finger towards the exit. Finally ended the puppet theater with acceptable applause and was followed by an almost unbearably long wait until the appearance of Blind Guardian. This time, however, found the preparations behind the huge curtain that questioning the whole stage instead, so you could catch no sight of the band members and technicians in the preparations.
finally extinguished the lights, applause began and grew even more when the first orchestral bars of 'Sacred Worlds "were sung. When finally the curtain was touched to the side and Blind Guardian made its appearance, the audience was raging hard to stop everything. The whole band played brilliantly and accurately, and we soon fell into enthusiastic headbanging at the grandiose riffs and solos that burst upon us. Then there followed numerous other brilliant songs such as "Valhalla" (the refrain at the end in a loop was put forward by the audience), "Welcome to Dying", "A Voice in the Dark," "Nightfall", "A Past And A Future Secret "and of course" The Bard's Song "in the audience took over almost the entire text. Finally gave before the band left the stage to return with 4 pieces as an encore after the (probably expected) protest of the public. Especially with "Wheel of Time" crawled more than once goose bumps on my entire body, and Imaginations From The Other Side "as a bouncer excelled as a grand finale. Particularly noteworthy was Hansi Kürsch that live is a stunner indeed and can raise his voice to new heights without missing the sound. In his announcement he was very personable, motivated .! "Hansi" "! Hansi I want a child from you" and bowed to the audience and jokes as the three of us shouted in unison, followed by my colleague, he commented, with very dry, "Men, children of mine do are suspicious of me. "
The stage show was fantastic. Hansi acted quite the frenzy of the music (which, incidentally, not too loud boomed from the speakers, but his singing was sometimes slightly less), the other band members played concentrated, but also occasionally turned to the audience. In the background, ran on a screen videos, for "A Past and a Future Secret" was even lit fires to encourage the mystical atmosphere of the song yet.
The audience also proved to be very active and enthusiastic. We broke again in the area of Pogo (before I quickly took to his heels) and even a Wall of Death came about and again there were people who operated Crowd Surfing.
So overall I can only praise the concert to the skies and look forward if Blind Guardian the next time the way in the near or find themselves should do to Luxembourg.
Finally, once the crowd chants of "Valhalla" in (my admittedly from phone (HD camcorder I use for turning my films I had better at home) usual miserable) image and sound:
