| Howdy, and
this for the third, when not even fourth time on this website what's up
to our Berlin Cowboys. Jesus, the Colts are smoking and the Lasso is
swinging, when Lucky Luke and his Dalton Brothers come across Munich.
And I assume, that's not only the case for our Bavarian Monument Valley.
Curiously in the beginning of their carriere, some experts, and also
myself believed, that the whole concept was pretty good, but would
rather quickly loose it's flavour of the month. Wrong! Because with each
new album and every new tour the popularity has increased. So I remember
very well, when the band played Munich a few years ago in the rather
small Backstage Halle in front of 400 fans. This was followed by a show
at the Zenith and then one gig at the annual tollwood Festival, drawing
a mere of 2.000 and more Cowgirls and Boys. And this again seems to
animate the spirit of Billy The Kid even more for further
adventures, always the usual way, but this time with some unusual
sideeffects. Our Ponderosa Ranch named Circus Krone is almost sold out. And some Big City Buffalo Bill has taken his Stetson out of his cupboard to make quite an impression tonight. And of course to exchange himself with many other soulmates.
But very soon it is obvious, that this here is not a normal BossHoss show, and our Butch Cassidys are accompanied by many Men in Black, better described as an orchestra. And that's my dear friends of the sophisticated Western myth doesn't match the fist of little Eagle Eye. But as we say so contrasts are usually drawn to each other. So what, Karl May had Winnetou travelling to the Orient and Kara Ben Nemsi Efendi was none other than Old Shatterhand himself.
So let’s get rolling on for a happy Washboard jodeling, which is mixed with bombastic Saxophon and trumpet sounds and some other classical instruments and including some antique furniture on Stage. The result of this battle on Little Big Horn is neither bloody nor cruel, but therefore very rich of contrasts. Although I can't really become friends with the cocktail of both musical ingedients. Or let's put it that way, I never liked the combination of rockbands feat. classical musicians. Which doesn't mean, that I don't like hearing a good symphony concert feat. Beethoven's Eroica.But when up there on stage the Rolling Stones or AC/DC are rocking, - then the whole assortment of fiddles, Cellos, and whatsoever can drown in the indian ocean for me. But well, the strategy - Jesse James meets Enrico Caruso does seem to go well down at the people of Dawson - Munich - City. And that's the golden Nugget on the peak, ain't it?! Oh before I forget, the Men in Black rather go for the names „Fabulous Babelsberg G-Strings und die Tijuana Wonder Brass“, which means, this is not only one, but two orchestras up there helping our imaginary farmer boys. And I can't deny, that some of the BossHoss songs do sound more voluminous and extroverted with their help.
Apart from all that,
the Daltons didn't change their High Voltage strategy in generell.This
starts with the usual barstools and ends with the very handy Thanx
guitar of Hoss, which he just as to turn round to response to the
audiance, withouth having to move his chewing gum from one wisdom tooth
to the other. Cowboys rather tend to speak by acting and not speaking
anyway. (look at Charles Bronson in Once upon... etc etc.. or Clint
Eastwood in all these Spaghetti western movies)
