01.11.1991, Kongresshalle Frankfurt: KRAFTWERK „The robots“, „Autobahn“, „Tour de France“, „The model“, „Computerworld“ „Music non Stopp“ ... the list of hits of the cult band from Düsseldorf is really remarkable and after nine years of stage absence the “Robots” once more embark on a tour. The Kongresshalle (Congress hall) Frankfurt was sold out. The show was scheduled for 8 p.m. and the tickets cost DM 38,50,- (quite a lot back then) Shortly after 8 p.m. strange electronic noises echoed from the speakers still with the lights fully on. The sounds lasted for almost 15 minutes. Then they stopped: Showtime: “Ladies and Gentleman, Madame’s et Monsieur’s, Meine Damen und Herren: Die Mensch Maschine (The man machine)” ... After this introduction from the „Voice of energy“ Kraftwerk started the gig. Hutter, Schneider und co. „lifeless“ as usual. The futuristic stage featured the whole Kling Klang Studio as well as four 5meter wide screens on which a video sequence was shown simultaneously ...
27.03.2003 Point Theatre / Dublin Walt Disney’s Beauty & the beast On Ice Just to say: It was superb. Merchandising good were to be found on all levels of the Point Theatre. From torches with a built in rose to sweet dishes to Belle as a puppet wearing a golden costume to the beast as a teddy bear – everything your (or your children’s hearts) desire.

With great humour and great skill the actors “fly” across the ice and even though it is clear right from the start that Belle will fall for the beast and thereby lifts the curse it was still nice to watch.

With the Bob Marley cover of „I shot the sheriff“ and an alternative version of Tina Turners „Whats love got to do with it“ in the charts – and now in Germany: WARREN G. and the G Funk Era Support: Der Wolf 8th April 1997, Hugenottenhalle / Neu – Isenburg Before Warren G and his crew turned up for their 90minutes show, Dortmund based rapper „Der Wolf“ and band entered the stage. Der Wolf (The Wolf) played a 30minutes set which he opened with his first hit: “Gibt´s ja gar nicht” (“That’s impossible”) and the half empty venue cheered him on gratefully. Unfortunately the established vibes turned immediately to dust as each song sounded like the one before and the wolf lacked enthusiasm. He called himself “the ultimate lover” during each song and during the performance of the well phrased “Werft die Waffen weg” (Throw away the guns) he lost a lot of support in the audience when he said that US rap star “2pac” is solely to blame for being shot because he wore guns. Der Wolf left the stage a...
