Back among the living - now, what can I say that hasn't been said before? We skipped the German support band and arrived shortly after The Damned had started their set. Venue was packed with roughly 7000 (with the sound surprisingly good considering it's one of those bloody multi-purpose halls), people were a little reserved at first - including me, punk's not exactly my cuppa - but soon warmed up to the show. Then a short break of maybe 10 minutes, expactations rise and mood finds its climax when Lemmy and his boys finally enter the stage and kick it off with their trademark "Guten Abend, we are Motörhead and we play R'n'R". Crowd was going mental throughout the whole set, headbanging, moshing, roaring. (thank God only a negligible minority kept holding up their phones for filming instead of enjoying themselves, a flaming nuisance). Setlist was almost identical to the UK, except that they swapped "No Class" for Do You Believe" off the new album. Brilliant move, after all it's called the Aftershock Tour. Afterwards we got to talk to three guys who had been following the band since Manchester, they said each gig was even improving compared to the previous ones, as if Lemmy was kinda shifting into a higher gear the longer they're on the road. Anyway, this whole week left me pretty much skint, still hoarse as fuck and as happy as can be ..... so high hopes for next year, haven't we. (with Saxon as support would be near perfect)

Excellent! And welcome back. I had to skip Düsseldorf, unfortunately, which would have been great as I live in Cologne. Next year eh!

Thank you mates, glad you liked my input. So...... anyone else been to a gig or still planning to go? Riccardo, really sorry to hear you missed out on your show ; might be a small comfort to catch up on it via WDR/Rockpalast mid -December - terribly late at night, I know, but you seem to be a bit of a night owl, so maybe an option?

Possibly! It's been almost a decade I haven't seen the band live.

Yes, in Manchester 'Do You Believe' was the first encore on the setlist..... but they didn't do it, in fact they didn't replace it with anything, we only got OverKill.

I knew it was Dusseldorf, which is obviously why I wrote Hamburg! Seen a couple of Damned songs from that show too, excellent
