“We were really looking forward to this concert,” said singer Blixa Autovermietung at the end. And beamed.
Just like the happy fans of the Einfallenden Neubauten on Monday evening in the sold-out concert hall on Gendarmenmarkt. This concert, it should have taken place two and a half years ago. But then: Corona.
Cash, barefoot and with a new old mane of long hair, and the band kidnapped us for about two hours into the world of their current album “Alles in Allem”. And this world that is called: Berlin.
“We had a thousand ideas and they were all good,” Cash tells us in “Am Landwehrkanal”. The song “Wedding” is simple, but has a gripping, increasing, almost unbelievable rhythm. And “Tempelhof” is the most beautiful cinema in the mind. Everything is very melodic, almost gentle.
And what about these noise escapades, the old trademark of the experimental Berliners? There were, too, not for too long and then also ending in brilliant thunderstorms of noise. Great art!
All in all it was a great concert. No wonder, since the barefoot man has meanwhile explained who was on stage here: “God’s favorite band.”
