The first idea I got with this concert highlight..... This guy is absolutey nuts. A mixture of sparkling paradise bird, mad cock and fruffy chick....
To be honest, in the beginning we suffer almost nightmares here in the Elserhalle in Munich - that little Adam won't show up. Because the originally scheduled stage times is stretching out a bit too far. Some unknown supportact, who is just one single musician, trys to heat up the mood in the audiance with only one guitar and his voice. But that's pretty difficult and rather seems like a literature meeting of pensioniers. At least towards the end, this guy is supported by the A.Green background band. No, it doesn't help really either. 
10 p.m. is scheduled for Mr. Green, and he does....not appear. Minutes go by, and we already imagine him backstage, where other's are desperately trying to get him on his feet. And the concert is cancelled then with the usual excuses like food poisoning or flue... so what? '
'Oh no, please not', a pale blonde girl whispers, ' I have waited for so long for this concert. -
15 minutes later there is some movement in the scenery, and at least the band comes back again on stage to start with some kind of intro. So what? - Does hi come, or does he not? - No the intro belongs to the show, someone else beside me, says. - We photographers are already waiting for 20 minutes now, somewhere squeezed in the middle in the frontrow. (there ain't no photopit) Yes well, in this case it ain't that tragical, as this is not a Hardcore or Punkact causing the usual moshpit. 
And yeeessss, there he is, the star of the night, and he almost fly on stage with flattering frings. - What caused the delay....? Who knows? - But never mind now....


2 beautiful background singer  for an even better tuning.....



Like I mentioned in the beginning, Adams jumps around the stage like a funny bird, seeking desperately his egg. He's not stopping moving for a single seconds, and our cameras do hard to follow him all the time. His voice is rather deep and actually the most impressing aspect on 27 year old Adam Green, who is pretty successful here in Europe. He seems like a mixture between Leonhard Cohan, Bob Dylan, Lou Reed and Jonathan Richman, - one one hand a singer/songwriter, but then again Rock'n'Roll including this childlike madness.He himself names his music - Antifolk. Indeed it is very entertaining. He graps for a paper crown of a fan, who had jumped on stage. And he keeps this thing on his head for the rest of the show. King Adams is swimming in emotions, sometimes slightly sad, then again really mad. And we all got the slight impression, that he is not quite by himself and outta this world.... 

He just put out his fifth album 'Six And Senses'. And it sells pretty well like all the other's before here in Germany where he received already a Gold Record and an Echo Award nomination. Not so in his home country the US.
I for my part think, this show is hillirously mad and funny. The music is rather a matter of taste, but throughout pretty good. - And Adam pulls his show through to the very end. Respect - Comedy value - a 100 percent.....
