Such a
wonderful evening! – There is almost nothing more to say or after three months
of abstinence, there are just not enough words to describe this explosive
feeling of happiness seeing Coppelius back on the stage again.
Scene of
the crime: The ‘Moritzbastei’ in Leipzig. Time of the crime: Beginning of the
evening. Suspects: The gentlemen of Coppelius on stage, who didn’t need a
support band, as also a very crowded row of madmen in front of the stage, also
known as ‘Fanatiker’ (fans). Atmosphere: Already at the beginning very joyful
and ebullient, just as it should be, and only getting better as time passed by.
A well-mixed audience, that came together in the best dance and party mood.
Tremendous! The sound: LOUD. Drum solos almost blew up one’s heart chambers,
but – who cares. (The author has to admit the truth: This time I haven’t really
paid attention to it. Most of the time one was busy with the lust for life.
That’s why I can’t tell much about it). Set list: The extra songs almost gave
me a cardiac arrest. It was amazing. ‘Killers’ and ‘Olimpia’ can be considered
as favourites of the evening. While these songs were played, in the front row the
Blubberbrigade came together and rendered a soapy service. Also ‘Phantom of the
Opera’ was marvellous. The audience made so much noise after the concert, that
two extra songs followed – extremely commendable and – as felt during the following
days – good for the neck muscles. Coppelius helps against stiffness. Very nice
to listen to was also ‘I’d change everything’ – the remaining songs that were
played, were very suitable to steady dancing and to sing along. It is probably
a personal thing, to prefer rather the banging pieces, that were rather sparse
this time. But nonetheless it hadn’t any bad influence on the atmosphere – the
crowd was in a party mood. Also Le Comte Caspar, who was in fact still struggling
with a broken toe, jumped around on one leg – that is certainly the rhythm, one
has to follow!
In
generally: as said, after three months ‘without’ a very stirring concert, the
atmosphere was – at least with us in the front rows, simply explosive. There
were a lot of soap bubbles, also a very big thanks to the people, who meanwhile
Blubberbrigade buttoned themselves, amazing, thank you so much! – After the
show some of the gentlemen were also willing to have a little chat. And hereby
also a warm hearted greeting from Bastille, who let understand that the fans
are very important and that all our actions entail a lot of fun and pleasure.
That is very nice to hear! Also new visitors were utterly moved by the partly
champagne spraying show, as one could experience during the conversations. It
was really nice, seeing already known faces and getting to know new ones. For
friendship, for partying, a very impressive evening in every way. I would love
to do it over and over again! I’m already looking forward to Stuttgart!
