Console

Wednesday, 14/03/07 – Lido Berlin

Another highlight and for me as an absolute Weilheim-fan a must-see. This time I arrived too early, but that’s better than being late. I was on the guest list and so could invite a friend to get in for free, as I already had a ticket.

The opener was a band called God Enough For You. They made pretty arty music. The whole performance was crazy. At first I was puzzled, but then I really liked it. The drums on the ass, the axe-guitar, the jumping, dancing, and last but not least the music. The rest of the audience received the band with mixed feelings, some suffered a shock, whilst others seemed to enjoy it.

Then Console started a bloody amazing show. The songs really rocked. (though it’s electronic music) It was just what i had needed after all these days and my mind could wander off to long forgotten spheres. The pieces were quite varying in mood and style.

Philip Geist aka Video Geist was responsible for the fine video imagery in the background which was beautiful as always. Ranging from ewers to panda bears.

I really loved it. There aren’t many words to describe it, but may I add that I didn’t care about missing the last train to Potsdam and had to stay in Berlin overnight?

And you might be able to enjoy this concert too! I might get a copy of a soundboard recording of the gig, which will be published in the woods. Anyway, here are some photographs I took:
