I myself have seen the concert in Cologne. Xavier himself says yes, the sound in the forest stage was so good, I think so, but it is on the CDs do not really know what to feel. Very rough all. Hard and the constant interim comments of Xavier make it even better, because the horses are well run away with him. I was really on it happy, because I better next to the unreached live album by Billy Joel (Songs in the Attic), the live concert in Oberhausen, which has been pressed onto the Everything-is-better-be-live-cd to lengths find and I have this concert probably already heard 100 times. An absolute reference product. It's not the band or the singing, but the mix. This will be accomplished and at the All-can-better-live CD will be established to examine delivered excellent work. I find it then also funny that Xavier in the song Everything can be better "only" Schssse says or when the last piece where certainly were singing loudly the famous Rolling Stones Huhu all 22000 listeners, of which nothing is heard, because the background vocals make everything flat. Do not misunderstand, the mix is certainly not grottig, but simply no comparison to the previous live extraction and more than passable. Since may the best band and the best singer on stage when the sound man can not bring corresponding high over, then the good is unfortunately not everything.
Shame
Addendum: Did the concert now seen more often, things were but was not thus. True, though here are "only" four musicians on stage, but if I am to be honest, you do not like my lies rather at Xavier's performance. Quite unusual, but I heard one or two versemmelten tone. Often times flat and simply wrong here and there. Either he has on that day had a bathroom Voice Day, or anything else to live recordings, I've always heard with pleasure, were pimped. I hope it was the first guess. Xavier Naidoo can not be seriously happy with its performance, especially when you know the concert will be recorded. In any case, his vocal performance ensures to a large extent to the fact that I do not really like to listen to with the songs, because they are just incredibly exhausting. Well, hopefully the next live thing is then again a ear-feast. If you yourself standing in the crowd at such a concert, then drops one (or me) such a modest capacity not to, but through headphones or plant ...
