Searching for Lörrach and München 2008 ...
Posted: Sun Jan 04, 2009 12:43 pm
Hello everybody,
at the start I just wanted to share my experiences during two of the German Cohen concerts, I was lucky to attend in summer and fall 2008. - Lörrach (7/25/08) was very impressive, a piazza in the middle of the town with the crowd packed, an open air space and sound – and great 'dialogue' between the audience and the artist. "So long, Marianne" was a celebration, an anthem with the people's choir. "Sisters Of Mercy" being of the many setlist surprises, that made me shiver.
- München (10/6/08) was different for me, much more intimate, not just because of the arena, but because of being close to the stage and the people being more disciplined, even when doing photographs. And during this awesome concert I even got to listen to breathtaking performances of "Avalanche" and "Famous Blue Raincoat".
Now with looking forward to the live DVD of the tour, I want to ask, whether there are recordings of those two fabulous nights circulating round here – and if there is somebody out there, who might share them? It would be so beautiful to re-live these memories of Lörrach and München in my living-room. And: All the best for everybody here (Mr. Cohen included, of course
) for 2009 ...
