Thank Henrik & Band! Grandiose "farewell performance" by probably the best "blues man", we have it!

Has a live album of an artist authority whose work is really well documented since 2008, with a 3-CD "HFB Live" from 2008, the 2-CD "Tour 2010", and the 4-CD box "Show 47 & 27 "of the 2012 Tour (release 2013), of the show" "47 is also available on DVD?

Yes, and this for two reasons: One word legitimized the subtitle of CD "Night Train To Budapest Farewell Tour" this live album and that word is "Farewell". The second reason: I would be happy if every artist could publish his work so well. But that only works if you previously took the risk and has founded its own record label and determine the publication policy itself.

Shortly after publication of the last studio CD "Night Train To Budapest", Henrik was the dissolution of the band known, but there would be a farewell tour.
(A brief personal note: Thanks, Cable Car Records and Henrik Freischlader that their Hamburg, which was not initially provided for the tour, but did not put on the tour list To also fans from northern Germany have the opportunity to be of Henrik and the band. to adopt).

Sure Henrik will do something else, he's too much thoroughbred musicians, but what he has not yet hinted. He is determined to continue producing new artists on his label, like that which occurred in the opening act of Linda Sutti who also just a produced by Henrik album "Wild Skies" has at the start. Where I'm doing now: Even "Fire Girl" Layla Zoe has a new 2-CD live album at the start "Live at Spirit of 66" and a really strong, but that still gets its own review.

For "Live 2014" Henrik has chosen 10 pieces, which on more than 70 minutes in length, "bring" and have a tension ranging from the dawn of "Henrik Freischlader Band", until the last album. The individual songs are from different cities, so it's not hear entire concert, the tracks provide good but again, what was played in the concert.

The beginning is "A Better Man" from "Budapest" album, which is also most strongly represented with a total of 4 tracks, but with the 2nd, 3rd and 4th song "Too Cool For Me" from "Get Closer" and "Disappointed Woman "from" The Blues ", and" Keep Playin '"(Get Closer) engages Henrik its early days and usual charming and friendly told Henrik about how he as a 16 year old blues Greenhorn the song from" The Blues "album" Disappointed Woman "wrote and how meager were his English language skills at the time. But as he and his great band interprets the, or the song in 2014, of course, is top notch. "Mr. Mo" sets to "Keep Playin '" a solo out that there are a speechless. But apropos "Mr. Mo": Moritz Fuhrhop on bass, and Dirk Sengotta on drums form on keyboards, Theofilos Fotiadis with Henrik a "tight" unit and I think you will not get better and upwards is hardly breathe, so well the band plays. They have reached a level that has internationally made and shown a furore and astonishment how well you can play in Germany the Blues.
It's almost as if it would be along the lines of: "If it is at its best, listen to" gone!

After the trip to the beginning of time, three tracks come from the "Budapest" CD. "Everything Is Gone", "Point of View" and "Gimme All You Got".
Even this relatively new pieces "sit". It still follows "She Is not Got The Blues" (The Blues) and a "Guitar Intro" before Track 10 "Desert Love" the album finished. It's a song from the 1st album Henrik's on his "Cable Car Records" label "Recorded by Martin Meinschäfer". In 11:21 Henrik shows why he is among the leaders of the European Blues.

As usual, the team Freischlader / Meinschäfer has produced and recorded, Timo Wilke is responsible for the great artwork responsibility (back of the 12-page booklet is a small but interesting posters), Katharina Pohl drew the strings behind the scenes, only: A "as usual" it is no longer exist. That leaves a bit sad of course back, because we have not so many who play at the level of Henrik and his band.
But as I said, I'm sure we'll hear further from Henrik Freischlader what he plans for also.
