Rollercoaster ...

What a roller coaster ride ...
This concert really will not let me stay calm, on the one hand the usual Xavier in leaner pleasant environment that the songs often clearly does well and allow deeper penetration and then sections because I could throw objects into the monitor ...

Initially, the image remains a long minute in black and white and I have been looking after the first error in the transmission chain to the monitor ... - even today I find myself from time to suggest to this first defect. Dear Xavier, these pseudo-creative effect is so worn out that he only annoys and use it to start a DVD is just annoying ... - at best.
After about 16 minutes until the very end of "Before you go", it is colored at a time and then burns almost in sight, so blatant is the unexpected transition.

Then the songs just before half-time (from "Golden candles to" dance location "), in which Xavier superfluously overused a voice box effect and with such a voice like his !!! The effect is totally exhausted and abgenudelt of any third-rate Kirmesmusikanten and Xavier! That's like when I order champagne and Brausepulver get anegboten. Dear Xavier, which was given the events a real scrap Idea ...

Many other songs are - as already mentioned here by other reviewers - in fact, quite simple, not to say almost carelessly, arranged and could be sure more interesting in view of the musicians here.

Then again but songs where the handle for handkerchief almost automatically comes ... - a terrific reduced version of "She looks at me not" which hits me deep into the marrow, no less touching composition of Andreas Gabalier, "Amoi scorching ma us again ", the hearing after the umpteenth goosebumps and more provoked ... - and the well-known bouncer" I know of nothing (that's as beautiful as You) "is here again celebrated than life and with overpressure and celebrated.

In general, the musicians! The only four musicians (plus Xavier) like being on stage is sometimes hard to believe ... Everything real experts and as a guitar player I find it very difficult to say that especially impressed me here was the rhythm section ...
What's delivers the bass player and part-time keyboardist Robbee Mariano sensational (I hate to think that I have a bassist praise!) And also the drummer and bandleader Ralf Gustke is a board! The keyboardist Neil Palmer is at its best inconspicuously and always delivers the perfect harmonic foundation for the songs.
Ironically, the guitarist Andreas Auer sometimes makes me frown, but he would not that technically weaken some sounds are chosen but a little thin ... - but he did not care ... convinced me right to the solo "I need you" and before especially in "Amoi scorching ma us again," Thank you for this intimate interpretation!

Otherwise I can about this DVD is technically hardly negative to say ... - except for the black and white sadness at the beginning and the unnecessary gimmicks effect of Xavier for concert center is actually all right. The sound is very present, well heard and well resolved, leaving the instruments their authentic sound and space, the dynamics is unfortunately a little arg flat but that we know today unfortunately by most concert DVDs in which the dead-compress for " good "sound can be heard ...
The picture quality is good, do according to the grayish early minutes, the bright colors really hurt your eyes and the show is - thank goodness - even more withdrawn and well illuminated. Some little things you will perhaps discover only at the second or third time, as long as you are ever so sensitive, such as the sign language interpreter in the background video to ... "Hear, hear" - to meet such things into the heart and I am grateful for this ...

Even though I really like roller coaster rides, concerts as they go to me but then in the long run on the laces and therefore there is point deduction. As a prospective Xavier Naidoo fan I prefer ultimately only one point from, would potentially interested buyers but then point out that read in light of other concert DVDs of Xavier Naidoo is rather flattering.
