Back from Hamburg. An amazing concert. Excellent setlist, and beautifully performed for a great audience in a spectacular concert hall. Bianca opened the show with a short speech. Then the music started, and I was once again transported to another world. Beautiful compositions and arrangements throughout the concert. It all ended, as expected, with a new long improvised session. I already look forward to the next opportunity for me to see TD live.
After the show it was a meet and greet in the merchandise stall. I did not attend, although it would have been great to talk to Thorsten and Hoshiko again, and maybe to Ulrich and Bianca for the first time. I bought the new Sessions II double CD that went on sale the same day as the concert. Have not heard it yet, but will put that on immediately after I have posted this. I did not see any film cameras in the venue, so it will probably not be released on DVD. A shame, since the hall was so spectacular. But we can hope that the concert was recorded for a CD release.
I took a few photos. I have made four of them available here (hope the shared album folder is working):
