A massive 2000+ audience filled Tempodrom of Berlin almost fully and having a great experience of Edgar and Co. which meant a total of seven people on stage now. On the first floor gerald Gradwool played their guitars and a new guy (anyone knows his name?) played violin and acoustic guitar. The second floor was occupied by the regular members, Edgar, Jerome and Thorsten while the upper floor was the territory of the girls: Linda and Iris.The set was somehow similar to the latest London concert but very different on the other side. A selection was played from almost all of the eras but the tracks were chosen differently with a completely new concept; there were a very few overlaps between the two event. Here is the setlist:
1. Edgar on mouth organ (!!!)
2. Untitled new track - an approx. ten minutes nice improvisation
3. Ca Va Ca Ca Marche Ca Ira Encore
4. Poland
5. Going West (live drumming worked excellent!)
6. Force Majeure excerpt (as played many times)
7. Scuba Scuba
8. Catwalk (Linda on flute!)
9. Love on a Real Train
10. No Man's Land
11. Tangram (Gerald played the heavy chords on guitar cleverly!)
12. Oriental Haze
13. Rainbirds Move (from Firestarter)
14. Journey (from Sorcerer)
15. Warsaw in the Sun
16. The Midnight Trail
17. Madchen auf der Treppe
18. Atlas Eyes
19. Melrose
20. Phaedra '88 (very good live drumming by Iris!)
21. Stratosfear '95 (Gerald's best guitar solo ever in this song!)
22. Mothers of Rain (a new sax line by Linda gave an extra character of the song)
23. Song of the Whale Part I (Linda on flute again)
24. The Blue Bridge
25. Samba Motel
26. La Liberation (a fantastic finale)
And the encores:
1. Unicorn Theme (resequenced, refurbished)
2. Le Parc
3. Catwalk remix
4. Mobocaster
5. Ride on the Ray (Edgar on guitar, playing 3 different solo character on 3 different sound)
6. Backstreet Hero (Jerome's big moments on guitar)
7. House of the Rising Sun
The event was not so loud than TD used to be but had a crystall clear sound. The stage was always very bright, we didn't experienced not a single second darkness-mystery. For good quality photo sets visit these links: set 1, set 2. We will provide more info and behind-the-scenes photos soon.
