 Awesome Rock for dancin fools.... October 10, 2011
Written by venjojo
15 years after this concert I recall this concert as my 2nd Crim-Concert (the year before I was in Stuttgart-Liederhalle), and I remember how it "rocked". As a Billy-B-fan I was first shocked when I saw some yellow Tama-drums built up as a sort of timpani-set with some SimmonsPads, beside there was fortunately a "serious" (=Pat’s) drumkit. Thoughts like:..."is Bill ill?...or is he mad?...is he only playing percussion?" were in my mind. But with the beginning of Talking drum, Bill played the flat-drums and everything was back to normality. I had the feeling, that the fans AND the band had fun, the songs were played "more foreward" as the last time in Stuttgart. When the band bumped into 21first Century Schizoid man, I registrated that the league of "old KC-fans" were dancing+jumping on their seats, and from this point, people dared to stand up and even dance (sometimes in 11/8 or 7/4 measures!!). The music was hot and well played. When the encore began with Thela, a lot of fans went to the stage (including me) and where dancing until the last note. I felt happy that the border between a "band-playing-intellectual-music" and listeners broke away that night, so why not dance in 11/8? (though I must admit that I felt like a dancin fool :-)
