02.08.2019 The Station, Cannock: Poizon


Co-incidentally Poison’s debut album ‘Look what the cat dragged in’ was released on this day in 1986, fitting therefore for this high energy tribute act to kick off with a track from that very album.







Poizon are all very skilled musicians and it was fun to watch them on stage keeping glam rock alive. Other songs in their set were gems such as ‘I won’t forget’, ‘Ride the wind’, ‘I want action’ and the ever popular as well as perfectly rendered ‘Every rose has its thorn’.


A great act to watch and enjoy

1991 - Kraftwerk

Image
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 ...

2003 - Beauty and the beast ON ICE

Image
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. The prices though were beyond daylight robbery. On the other hand side it is always great quality when it says: Disney! The show starts with a medley performed by Disney’s cult figures Mickey, Donald and Balu before the real play begins. 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.

1996 - KISS

11.12.1996 Festhalle Frankfurt: KISS Support: Die Ärzte A huge banner on one of the balconies states: „KISS and die Ärzte - a dream comes true“ and in all these years I have never seen the Festhalle that packed. Yes, a dream came true – this KISS concert was the best concert ever. Another banner simply said: ”KISS – welcome back”. 7 p.m. on the dot – the five hour spectacle kicked off with a band so horrible that I cant even remember their name. I didn’t like even one song and their 30minutes set was half an hour too long for what I care. Only a few minutes later the mood changed completely as Frankfurt welcomed Berlins punk band number one: Die Ärzte! The guys picked up speed straight away and for the next hour they played a lot of music and laughed about themselves and KISS. Their bold and funny lyrics really made their gig enjoyable. No doubt that die Ärzte are the number one band in Germany and songs like “Fette Elke”, “Mitten in die Fresse rein”, “Drei Tage Bart” or “Arschloch” w...
