Isobel Campbell & Mark Lanegan / Harper Simon
23:11:10 Zeche Carl, Essen
had two years ago, the Beautiful and the Beast in the Frankfurt Mousonturm for one of the outstanding concerts of the year and provided so I was skeptical about whether I should look at two this time at all, because the presence of at that time was not really to beat. At 20:00
should go there, but in Zeche Carl, there was still a yawning gulf at the merchandise booth shook the offered for sale Mark Lanegan-alone doll to himself and heard the men say at the inlet, that Mrs Campbell the doctor had returned and the show definitely would take place.
Shortly after half past nine emigrated then suddenly someone undecided with a guitar by the now slightly-filled hall, and then yet to come on stage and play for half an hour nice folky songs, which surprisingly arrived well with the public, so that Harper Simon is constantly profusely for the applause thanks.
came after a lengthy renovation break finally Isobel Campbell, Mark Lanegan and her four fellow musicians on stage and you could to Mrs. Campbell that she was slightly indisposed, but it does so anyway have lost on the stage always easy. In contrast, Mr. Lanegan again the concentration itself, clinging as usual in the dark (no spot was directed at him in the spotlight should be kindly others) to his microphone stand firm and filled with his incredible voice, immediately the room.
was the main course this time the pieces of the new album Hawk and came at Come Undone for the first time outside Cham in me, because next to me in the front row to some pushy fans had settled. I sing quite well but like with me, but I know that I can not really try and, therefore, especially in quiet evenings like this, no louder than the artist to be on the stage. At punk shows this may still not care, but in my opinion not at concerts, living just from the quiet atmosphere and the wonderful voices of the protagonists. Now, by the said Come Undone the woman was next to me (her level: four beers in about 45 minutes) in any case as Isobel loud on stage. But it was surpassed by the Mark Lanegan fan next to her (his level: an estimated 10 beers in 90 minutes) of with increasing duration was getting louder, rock Posen presented and also directly in front of the stage and clearly it is not enthusiastic, since a cold Ms Campbell was smoking, what he had already announced his support, as Mark Lanegan that yourself constantly smoke.
Lanegan himself had nothing to say stoically, Isobel struggled bravely through the set and the luck did the full Horst at least in the stunningly beautiful addition (Do You Want to) Come Walk With Me for once the face.
In these circumstances it was at the end certainly not a good concert, but Ms. Campbell was forgiven and again later get well soon desired.
