“Steady now” tour in Berlin: Herbert Grönemeyer will bring the mirror ball out – Tagesspiegel

11:38 clock by Gunda Bartels

Bergmannsglück and miners’ choir: Herbert Grönemeyer has its “Steady now,” started tour. Wednesday night he rocked the 02-World in Berlin.

The sometimes experienced. When Herbert was. Grönemeyer of course. The pale groEL Flummi from the pot, better known as the largest German pop star. The latter was in November in occasion of his 14th studio album, “Steady now,” again anywhere with positive click action Feuilletonistengrusel and as clearly noticeable respect to read. Even now in the run-up to the in Chemnitz launched on Tuesday, comprehensive for the time being 28 concerts halls and stadiums tour that only has records again in Berlin: sold-out O2 World on Wednesday night, sold-out additional show on June 12 at the Waldbühne, already tickets for the planned recently on 7 June next year second extra concert again at the Waldbühne. The German middle class, whose soul Grönemeyer knows how to shine through in his music for over 30 years, supposedly like no other, feels obviously recognized unabated.

Also in the arena at the Ostbahnhof, where according to the powerful appearance of the Berlin pop singer Balbina that ennobles doyen Grönemeyer with the selection as the opening act at right time starts after the news of the main movie. On a zappendusteren, from top accented by blue spots stage. From the blackness increases Grönemeyer’s voice, the musician Funzeln with mining lamps the way to the bandstand. The flittingly incipient Bergmann anthem “underground” swells the legs pounding rock beat. And then: Spot on! Cheers from thousands SME throats. Herbert and his eight veteran band mate stand in glaring white light. “Such a nice reception,” says Grönemeyer pleased. He will often say in the next two and a half hours more. Playing at home, which is always particularly exciting, shares of part-time locals with the three estates with cheerful. And that he, after he had played in 2008 so the reopening of the hall here, is now scheduled again for the reopening after a planned 2050 renovation. The sound is loud and initially pasty, the mood of the first second on splendidly. Grönemeyer gurgles, bawls, kiekst. The text of the second song “Wonderful emptiness”, also from the album “Steady now,” is hard to understand. The third song is then no longer relevant: The authored in Grönemeyer typical distorer lyric Hitnummer “catch me” know all the long memorized. Time for one of Herbert’s always interspersed in-part cycle rate self-deprecating little joke. “I have yet to create my jewelry to distract from my face,” says the now 59 years old man and fiddles around on his wrist. Here is his stage look – black shirt, jacket, trousers, white sneakers – so steadfastly eighties as the later sounding saxophone solos by Frank Kirchner. In terms of content for the contemporary socio-political mini block of “Our Country” and “uniform”, Grönemeyer’s protest against dictatorship and digital data disclosure on the Internet. Optically very stylish as flickering, over the whole width of the stage racing number band staged on contrasting color carpet.



Berlin as agreed Bergmann Choir

In general, the combination of six mobile LED panels above the stage, LED screens behind and among the musicians, including the so-toothed light and color dramaturgy of countless spots very sophisticated. Grönemeyer as an old man of the theater knows, of course, that a face that when operating the electric pianos sometimes three chins may have no good as Allerweltsbespielung a boring big screen. Consequently, there is not the well, but instead of six by a sort of frame optics refined bouncing Herberts at once.

And what the man can jump! Hand on his heart as “catch me”. With her arms in the air. Followed by genuflection at the very edge of projecting into the Hall stage spur. Grönemeyer creates, makes steam, is on the way. The five tracks of “Continuously now” are pure musical pressure refueling. And then? Then half an hour after the concert comes the moment when all up and Dad Mom puts her arm around her gently rounded SME hip. Grönemeyer intones solo on electric piano “Good luck, luck, the Steiger is coming”. Goose bumps! Everyone knows that now comes “Bochum”. The overheating of the Shouters from 1984, not as a nice little sing-along number, but musically and visually presented as truly great Volksoper. “Dehein, Grubengohold has hochgeholt you again, duhu pearl in the area!” Berlin as a unifying miners’ choir.

Uniquely, the interactive factor in Grönemeyer. Not even Udo Jürgens, the other German-speaking super pop star, had so melodic and text safe fans. According generously praises the master after a reggae version of “Man”: singing “Fine. Really. Very clean durchgesungen “. But even with “butterflies in the stomach”, “The Way”, “You like music only when it’s loud” or “men”, he builds people’s voice casually as a style element in the own, quieter sounds completely shying singing a. The song is indeed the proof that they were an intellectual band teases Herbert. “I’m also a great thinker.” General laughter.



Herbert is a great Freuer

A large Freuer he is anyway. Again and again he clenches his fists, raises his arms helplessly and admired ecstatically smiling and shaking his head be happy lot: to be a much-loved pop star. Has finally bear the Herbert also heavy. Yet has become happy again. Herzenssache, attitude question. “Wonderful, wonderful, what a night!” He calls out again and again and agrees to the popular song “Oh, how beautiful” to. And who does not yet felt, for it will come true in the face of this blessed child man.

As it does not matter that the show should really be called “Always yesterday”, instead of “Steady now “. Because apart from the input block are later only three other numbers from their latest album to hear two of them, as the beautiful African-number “fire light”, even until the three adding blocks. This moves the weight towards best-of-Grönemeyer and acts fainthearted, as it deserves the boarded as always top of the charts music. Where he usually is no Anxious yet. Sang only in January in Dresden against Pegida. And now on the stage against the fear of the people raises his voice against refugees.

The acclaimed Final tears’s then out again. Herbert takes out the disco ball. A very very big moves up the stage ceiling. “Catch me” as a dancefloor remix. The grooves, which glistens, the hall dances to house. Finally also been at Herbert times. Happy.
