| Okidok and
let's face it.- There is none better then a huge potential in diversion
in things in life, also for the music. And my attitude is still the same
- there is only good and bad music, no matter what kind of. And every, -
I mean, really every music has it's right to be on this planet. Because
of this, Musicmirror is named Musimirror and not Rock - Pop - Metal or
whatever - Mirror. Thanks to my job as photographer for different
Rock'n'Roll magazines, this site is of course more or less leaned on
Rock. But inbetween you always find some Pop, Blues, Soul or Jazz. These
styles of music have also got briliant artists and performers, who I
really admire. But let's stay with Rockmusic again, which by the way, many people tend to put into several draws again. We got Soft, Melodic.- Hardrock, then Heavy,- Thrash,- Death,- Black and other Metal. And unfortunately many fans are narrowminded and don't accept other's then just one and only direction. Well, I don't wanna talk much more about this subject here. But what I wanna say here - yesterday we had punkmusic ala' Green Day. And tonight we got Krautrock with jane and Pavlov's Dog are going for Progressive Rock. And I'm looking forward to it, because as I said in the beginning: Varieties and changes makes life exitiing, exspecially as a musicjournalist. I've seen Jane live on Stage in the past, so this is nothing new to me.
And I remember it very
well in a very good way. The band is already on stage and playing when I
arrive. But thanks god, I do miss only a few minutes. - I've gotta
mention, that Jane are actually taking the supportslot for Pavlov's Dog.
But there are also events, where Jane headline and a german band named
Subsignal do support. However, one thing is for sure. Jane play a
longer set as the usual 45 minutes. Yeah well, Jane's songs are
requesting for a long showtime, as there is almost none piece of music
shorter than 10 minutes. Bad luck for me and my video clips, as you
can't upload any longer as these odd 10 min. on You Tube. So please
excuse, if you find a sharp cut at some of them here.
And Jane don't disappoint us. This here is high quality music up there, presenting us the whole spectrum of their back catalogue. Yeah well, not maybe all of it, otherwise we'd be sitting allnight here. But the most important songs are on the setlist incl. old and new tracks (see setlist below). And most of all, these youthful sunnyboys up there really seem to have fun by performing. The art of the whole show is, that, despite the rather complicated long songs, it never gets any boring. They rock, and our old bones get shaken and we forget about our rheumatism. Some of the audiance immidiately feel beamed back into the past and the glory Krautrock era. (did you know that the word krautrock was actually created by an english man? And that one was famous BBC Radiohost John Peel).
But
not that you think, our small audiance (aprox. 350) consists only of
seniors. No, in fact, there are quite a few young people, some of them
who haven't even been born, when Jane and Pavlov's Dog had their high
times. I can't tell you how these youngsters got into this music, but
you can see, that they like, what thy get to hear.

And
that is Pavlov’s Dog. – Also this, but american band, comes
from the Seventies. And it has always been this special kind of singing
named Falsett by frontman David Surkamp, what they have been famous for.
It had become sort of a brand. Well this kind of singing has to meet
your taste. But at least it definately draws everybody's attention. If
someone doesn't know this outfit, then they think anyway first, there is
a woman singing. -
There's a new young girl playing the fiddle, sorry I don't remember her name. But it's a fact, that exspecially the male audiance here do like her a lot from the visual aspect. And mind me, she's pretty well playing her fiddle. Musically
Pavlov's Dog don't sound bad at all. And in the end it is the Die Hard
fans of the band who have gathered here, to cheer 'em up and ecourage
them to carry on playing. They obviously luv David Surcamp, and they
don't wanna let him go. the usual encore is not enought, and David has
to come back one more time for a solo stint. |
