Comment
This concert is very badly attendend, just 30 people in a 200 capacity room. Schützengasse is more of a mainstream type of venue on two floors with the second floor being a Techno-disco generally designed for a straighter kind of crowd as Brotherhood would draw in, let's say, Berlin! Also the people running the venue are very uptight! The band plays at simply ear-shattering volume that's why the small crowd doesn't dare to move to the front of the stage, they remain in the very back of the hall and no-one dances. The bros rip powerfully through their repertoire anyway with "Old tattoo" being an early highlight, a really liquid organ lines drives the band forward, Lars enjoys pounding it out and they finish this great version as a true garage blast with broad smiles on their faces. An energetic version of "Cracker" follows before they dive into "The drifter" (13 min). Here Kiryk breaks a string after his first solo and while he switches and tunes his second guitar the band continues with an Erik-driven jam that also features great work from Lars. Upon Kiryk's return he takes the charge and sneaks into the jam with some quiet psychedelic lines heavy on the Wah-Wah before increasing the intensity again leading the jam towards a roaring climax. "No mercy" follows with equal power. Tonight again, just as the previous day in Leipzig, "Better hurry" (10 min) is one of the concert's highlight with the “new†Kiryk letting totally loose on the solo, harkening back to his blues roots by slipping effortlessly into a full blown quote of the Allman Brother Band's "Mountain jam"-theme and weaving it seamlessly into his own jamming -- wowza Magnificent Brothers Band! Another magic jam comes soon enough during the first encore: "Mind garage", usually a number without jam, features tonight the finest psychedelic jam of the weekend. Shortly before they would normally hit the coda they surprisingly take it down and start to systematically build up an atmospheric piece of proggy psychedelia featuring great and emphatic work by Lars and Jan, heavy drones by Erik and on top of it all a very deep and beautifully developped Kiryk-theme. This jam last six minutes and then they resume the tune with flurry piles of notes! After "Mind garage" the band is finished but the people running the venue are so extremly square and uptight as to insist on 90 minutes playtime by the band as written in the contract. The club's booker convinces the band to play two more numbers so they come back to the stage not without telling the crowd they just do it because they have been asked to fulfill the contract which incites some laughter among the attendees and of course ridicules the club. They proceed to play the by now relatively rare "Can't remember" as well as a kick ass version of "Little red rooster" and then they leave the stage without many words. Musically an engaged and playful show despite the frustrating circumstances.
