Revision as of 13:37, 8 April 2010
Kamelot live in Dortmund, April 7th
The 2010 "Pandemonium over Europe" Tour lead the band to Germany. I witnessed a great show in Dortmund with approx. 3 hours of great music. Kamelot were accompanied by two other bands, Adagio and Leaves' Eyes. So I'll start the review with their appearances. The place wasn't too crowded at first so I could take my place in the thrid row with a great view.
Adagio
This band was formed by the amazing french guitarist Stephan Forté, who writes all the music and lyrics for the band. He is a great shredder! The sound was very good, very balanced so every instrument could be heard. Adagio plays progressive metal, some songs sounded a bit like power metal, with clean high vocals and some cool guitar riffs and impressive solos. They played five songs, I can only remember the title of the last track which was "Fire Forever", a really catchy power metal song. They played for about 30 minutes and absolutely pleased the audience.
Leaves' Eyes
A somewhat german symphonic metal band. I say somewhat because the musicians come from all over Europe. The female singer is Liv Kristine from Norway, the male singer is her german husband Alexander Krull. Alexander kept talking to the audience and really created a great atmosphere. They played seven songs, including the fan favourites My Destiny, Eligy and Take The Devil In Me. The cheers from the audience were louder than for Adagio, but of course Leaves' Eyes were considered local heroes in a way. The sound was well balanced so after their 30 minute appearance, I couldn't wait for Kamelot to enter the stage.
Kamelot
At 21.30h the intro for Kamelot began. Their first song was Ghost Opera. Roy Khan climbed on a little podium in front of the stage where he spent most of the show in his black coat. He was literally 5 meters away from me so I could watch his facial expressions very well. He puts up quite a show and can look very scary, I can tell you! After three minutes the sound technician finally turned up Khan's mic, as his singing sounded kind of lost in the powerful sound of the others, mainly Thomas Youngblodd's guitar ;-). The next songs were EdenEcho, then a new song from the upcoming album (should be out in June) called The Great Pandemonium, followed by The Human Stain and (finally) my all-time favourite Center Of The Universe.
