HELGE SCHNEIDER

Live In Graz ✦ Vinyl

Following on from his last masterstroke "Torereo", Helge Schneider presents a live album from the beautiful city of Graz. Over 10 songs, Helge and his Travelling Stars deliver a usually insane performance. "Are the hearing aids switched on, gentlemen?" then it starts. Helge fans are already looking forward to it: a new live LP by the master with his band! Recorded in Graz, a beautiful city in Austria, live, all in top form, the audience went wild! A real treat even for people who are otherwise completely stiff!They quickly loosen up!Nobody knows how to literally embrace their audience with music. (But I don't want to brag now!) In a nutshell: an album in a class of its own!Once again!Whether oboe, French horn or viola da gamba (all instruments that don't even appear in the concerto!), Helge goes all out!Let yourself (you) fall back into your (his) huge wing chair or folding stool! Turn up the speakers (so you can hear it!) and enjoy the unique listening experience number one A! Helge and his travelling stars (oh what am I saying. Superstars!) Liver is not possible! Would you have given Helge your wallet for safekeeping 30 years ago? I hardly think so! But today? Today you can do that with confidence. Because everything the master touches becomes pure pleasure. Hand in (your!) wallet at the till and you'll be in for a surprise! Strangely enough, at 68, he has not aged, on the contrary, he seems to have become more and more of a child over the years, his stories lack any reference to gravity. Romantic songs alternate with utter nonsense. Laugh! Laugh! Laugh!
