Comment
Notes: This weekend’s only proper concert is a fun open air show at the small and free festival Römersee Festival near Heilbronn. The festival takes place out on the countryside on the site of an ancient Roman estate called Villa Rustica. Archeological excavations are spread over the festival grounds and the people sit on the foundation walls of an old Roman mansion. There is a very small nearby lake called “Römersee†that once belonged to the Roman estate – a very idyllic setting! A beautifully clear and sunny summer day draws a decent crowd of ca. 600 local kids to the festival which features an eclectic program on two stages that finds Brotherhood sharing the bill with Stoner Rock, Ska and Gothic bands. Scheduled as the day’s headliner on the main stage the band performs at 23:45. The underage attendees have to leave at midnight that’s why Brotherhood’s performance is not as well attended as the Ska band’s Tequila Terminators before them but a nice party crowd gathers in front of the stage anyway. You can immediately tell the band is in the mood to deliver once they kick off their set with a bang of heavy noise with Kiryk neatly posing with his wine bottle using it as a slide to create feedback. The proven first part of the set from “Camera†through “Old tattoo†gets the crowd seriously into the fun before the show enters space with a great “Mind garage†into “Drifterâ€-segue. “The Drifterâ€, not performed for a month (since Berlin-Marzahn 20.07.2007), is being put spontaneously on the setlist and it seems as if its comperatively long absence from the setlists injects new life into the tune: this 13 minute version features an alternate intro and the jam finds Kiryk performing and posing very inspiredly and lively with a few nods to Jimi Hendrix’ moves. Jan also rocks out greatly tonight using his space on the stage by moving around a lot. The crowd acknowledges the great jam with oblivious dancing and eventually in the second half of the set the kids repeatedly jump on the stage to dance and freak out up there. Kiryk dedicates “Last song about you†to “…alle Ladies und alle Typen, die sich fühlen wie Ladiesâ€. Before „Too much“ Kiryk mentions that this is a new song and that the people should excuse possible fuck ups but he adds: „…aber das ist bei unserer Musik sowieso scheißegalâ€! The on-stage dancing continues throughout the set and there is some more crazy audience interaction when Kiryk gives the people the mic asking if they want to say something and the kids scream “Zugabe†and “Rock and roll†into it before the band rocks them with the last few high tempo blasts of their set. A great classic rendition of „Better hurry“ as encore turns into a near-20 minute jamfest featuring extended wild and funky uptempo soloing by Kiryk as well as deep organ-drones by Erik. During the long drum solo Erik and Kiryk first do a freestyle dance and then they perform their regular dance. A girl who has already been dancing on the edge of the stage for a couple of numbers suddenly takes Kiryk’s hands and leads him into a cute dance. Kiryk asks for her name and then introduces her to the crowd as "Mona, Mona, Monaâ€. After the drum solo the band goes back into the finish of the song without Kiryk because he misses it but he joins them a little later and leads them into yet another jam that takes off with a brief quote of the “Mountain jamâ€-theme by the Allman Brothers Band. Ultimately the band wraps up the tune with a giant noisy feedback successfully bringing down the (Roman) house! On the setlist as opener but not played: “Lifetimeâ€.
