Hamburg. Kein exaltiertes Puschelschwenken, leider. Niemand hüpfte eingeölt aus einer Marzipan-Nuss-Torte. Keine glamourösen Abendkleider für den Hauptdarsteller und auch die Oberkörper blieben bedeckt.

Die Toten Hosen

"Bitte bleiben Sie ruhig und flippen Sie aus"

Die Toten Hosen spielten in der ausverkauften O2 World. Ein handelsübliches Konzert der Toten Hosen bietet noch immer feinste Unterhaltung.

Die Toten Hosen in Hamburg

Wer zu den glücklichen Besitzern einer Eintrittskarte für das Toten Hosen-Konzert gehört, hat vor Beginn des Konzerts trotzdem ein Problem: Nebenan findet das Fußballspiel Hamburger SV – FC Schalke 04 statt, daher sind die Straßen und der Parkplatz gut verstopft. Dennoch sind alle gut gelaunt – sowohl die Fußballfans als auch die Hosenfans. Schon vor dem „Anpfiff“ in der O2-World singen die knapp 12.000 den Kicker-Klassiker „You‘ll Never Walk Alone“. Kaum ist das letzte Wort verklungen, kommt auch schon die Band um Frontmann Campino auf die Bühne – und die O2-World tobt! Pünktlich um 21 Uhr geht’s los mit dem neuen Song „Ballast der Republik“.

By Patrick Doyle

November 27, 2012 12:35 PM ET

From the comparatively stripped-down stage to Jeff Beck's cameo on "I'm Going Down," the Rolling Stones' first major show in five years Sunday night at London's O2 arena was full of surprises. We've compiled five of the biggest and are expecting plenty more at their remaining dates. Will Eric Clapton show up during their second night in London on Thursday? Jimmy Page? In New York, will Paul McCartney sing "I Wanna Be Your Man" with the band? We'll have to wait and see.

1. Opening with "I Wanna Be Your Man"

The first song is arguably the most important moment of a Stones show, from the stripped-down "Not Fade Away" to kick off the Voodoo Lounge shows to the dramatic meteor explosion during "Satisfaction" on the Bridges to Babylon tour. This time, the band surprised fans with "I Wanna Be Your Man," which John Lennon and McCartney wrote for the Stones when they needed a hit in late 1963. "John and Paul flogged us a song which we've never played onstage before," Keith Richards told the BBC recently. "You realize this is a new song to me. You get into it and everybody's playing and you're going, 'This is amazing.' This could be almost a new song!" One prediction: With all the guests popping up at these shows, it's not far off to imagine McCartney joining the band for this song – perhaps at the December 15th Newark gig, to be broadcast on Pay Per View?

2. Keith Richards' playing

Fans have been considerably worried about Richards' playing since several erratic performances after he fell out of a tree in Fiji in 2007. And he's admitted he didn't spend the years following the Bigger Bang tour playing guitar. "I don't practice as much as I should, probably," he said recently. "But now that we're putting the act together again, I'm getting the chops back together." There were a few hiccups, including Richards flubbing the intro of "Honky Tonk Women," but fans agree his playing was better than it has been in years. Said "citadel" on fan forum It's Only Rock and Roll, "At the start he seemed almost nervous . . . Not moving much, playing the rhythm . . . Somewhere in the middle it was as if the old confidence, posing, playing all came back. Suddenly some great riffs, licks, solos, moving, posing, even running around." Added "rockenrohl," "Best Keef I've seen in more than a decade. He really got his shit together."

3. The length of the show

Even though the band cut two songs that had been in the night's set list ("Lady Jane" and "Satisfaction", their 23-song set was one of the longest shows in their history, clocking in at over two and a half hours. Not too bad for a band whose drummer is 71 years old. "I think the band wants to give the fans their money's worth," keyboardist Chuck Leavell told Rolling Stone during rehearsals. "There's no secret what the ticket prices are, so I think we want to make sure that we deliver."

4. "Midnight Rambler" with Mick Taylor

Fans have missed Taylor's epically proficient playing since he walked in 1974, and his return has been Number One on every hardcore fan's wish list for decades (he did play with the band onstage in Kansas City in 1981). He returned full force during "Midnight Rambler." According to everyone who was there, the guitarist hasn't lost any chemistry with his old bandmates. Said "Silver Dagger" on the Stones forum IORR, "It was brilliant though and Mick was a bit sluggish at first, but then really up[ped] the pace. Grown men wept. It was almost like being transported back to the US tour in '72. Almost."

5. Bill Wyman still rocks

Whenever the Stones swing through London, fans always wonder whether Bill Wyman – who left the band in 1992 – will make a surprise cameo. Last night, it finally happened. While the Stones had announced Wyman would be joining the band before the London show, the image of seeing the 76-year-old original member back with his old friends wasn't any less moving. Wyman looked right at home, cracking a grin as he laid down a rock-solid groove on "It's Only Rock and Roll" with Charlie Watts while Keith and Ronnie wailed away on Chuck Berry-style licks, and sticking around for "Honky Tonk Women."

It's also surprising Wyman didn't play on more songs. Surely current bassist Darryl Jones would have understood taking a backseat to let Wyman play the entire show to celebrate their 50th anniversary, but it's likely the band didn't want to disrespect Jones, who's played with the band since 1994. "Darryl doesn't get enough recognition," Richards told Rolling Stone in October. "He and Bill can talk about songs they want to step in and out of." Here's hoping Wyman gets more songs on Tuesday.

Larry Hagman ist tot

 

SPIEGEL ONLINE:
(kann mit sozialen Netzwerken geteilt werden)

 

 

Er spielte in "Dallas" den Bösewicht J.R. Ewing, in "Bezaubernde Jeannie" Major Anthony Nelson: Larry Hagman kam als Serienschauspieler zu großem Ruhm. Nun ist der Texaner gestorben. Er wurde 81 Jahre alt.Dallas - Schauspieler Larry Hagman, vor allem durch seine Rollen in "Dallas" oder "Bezaubernde Jeannie" bekannt, ist im Alter von 81 Jahren einem Krebsleiden erlegen. Das teilte seine Familie mit. Hagman sei am Freitag in einem Krankenhaus in Dallas gestorben, berichtete die Zeitung "Dallas Morning News". Hagman sei bei seinem Tod im Kreis seiner Nächsten gewesen, hieß es in der Erklärung der Familie. Er sei so friedlich gestorben wie er sich das gewünscht habe.
In den sechziger bis achtziger Jahren war Hagman eines der bekanntesten Gesichter im Fernsehen. In "Bezaubernde Jeannie" übernahm er die Rolle des Astronauten Anthony Nelson, der in einer Flasche einen Geist - gespielt von Barbara Eden - findet.


Als Ölbaron J.R. Ewing in "Dallas" verkörperte er einen der großen Bösewichte der TV-Geschichte. 357 Folgen lang war er eine zentrale Figur in der Geschichte einer fiktiven Öldynastie aus Texas, die in Familienstreitigkeiten, Intrigen und Gewalt verstrickt ist. "Ich kann mich an die Hälfte der Leute, mit denen ich geschlafen, die ich verraten oder in den Selbstmord getrieben habe, nicht erinnern", sagte Hagman einmal über seine Rolle.

Linda Gray, die in "Dallas" Hagmans Frau Sue Ellen spielte, teilte mit: "Larry Hagman war 35 Jahre lang mein bester Freund. Er war kreativ, lustig, liebevoll und begabt, und ich werde ich unglaublich vermissen."

Hagman wurde am 21. September 1931 in Fort Worth in Texas als Sohn der Schauspielerin Mary Martin und des Rechtsanwalts Benjamin Hagman geboren. Fünf Jahre lang war Hagman in London als Soldat der Luftwaffe stationiert. Anfang der fünfziger Jahre spielte an der Seite seiner Mutter Mary Martin im Broadway-Musical "South Pacific". Und in London traf er auch seine Ehefrau: Er verliebte sich in die schwedische Modezeichnerin Maj Axelsson. Das Paar heiratete 1954. 1958 kam Tochter Kristina Mary Heidi zur Welt, Sohn Preston folgte 1962.

Exzentrischer Lebemann

1956 in die USA zurückgekehrt, arbeitete Hagman einige Jahre am New Yorker Broadway, übernahm aber auch Engagements in Fernsehserien. Sein Durchbruch in Hollywood kam in den sechziger Jahren durch "Bezaubernde Jeannie". Weltweite Bekanntheit erlangte er ab 1978 mit "Dallas".

Hagman war als J.R. an einer der berühmtesten Serienfolgen der TV-Geschichte beteiligt. Am Ende der zweiten "Dallas"-Staffel wurde auf ihn geschossen - und TV-Zuschauer durften dank dieses Cliffhangers Monate warten, um zu erfahren, ob der Fiesling überleben würde. Hagman sagte später, ein Verlag habe ihm 250.000 Dollar angeboten, wenn er verrate, welche Serienfigur geschossen habe. Er habe überlegt, zu lügen und das Geld trotzdem zu nehmen, sagte Hagman. Aber am Ende "habe ich entschieden, im echten Leben nicht so wie J.R. zu sein".

Nach dem Ende der Serie spielte Hagman den Ölbaron noch vier Mal in Fernsehfilmen: 1996 in "J.R. kehrt zurück", 1998 in "Kampf bis aufs Messer", 2000 in "Doing Dallas" und 2011 in "Dallas". 2012 wurde die Serie sogar fortgesetzt. Im Mittelpunkt standen dieses Mal allerdings die Söhne des Ewing-Clans.

In den vergangenen Jahren war Hagman unter anderem auch in "Desperate Housewives" zu sehen. Er mimte Frank Kaminsky, den unausstehlichen Stiefvater von Lynette (Felicity Huffman). In Werbespots für einen Hersteller von Solaranlagen nahm Hagman zudem sein früheres Alter Ego aus "Dallas" und die Ölwirtschaft auf die Schippe. Hagman spielte auch in Kinofilmen mit - 1998 als Gouverneur in Mike Nichols' Clinton-Satire "Primary Colors - Mit aller Macht" und 1995 als Ölmulti in "Nixon" von Oliver Stone.

Hagman war über Jahrzehnte ein starker Trinker. 1995 wurde bei ihm Leberkrebs diagnostiziert. Hagman hörte auf zu rauchen und zu trinken; einen Monat später unterzog er sich einer Lebentransplantation. Das habe seine Lebensfreude nicht beeinträchtigt. "Es ist der gleiche alte Larry Hagman", sagte er. "Er ist einfach ein wenig nüchterner."

Hagman galt als exzentrisch. Als er die Schauspielerin Lauren Bacall zum ersten Mal traf, leckte er ihr über den Arm, weil ihm gesagt worden war, sie wolle nicht berührt werden. Hagman war zudem bekannt dafür, Polonaisen am Strand von Malibu anzuführen und im Supermarkt in einem Gorilla-Kostüm aufzutauchen. An seinem Haus in Malibu wehte eine Flagge mit der Aufschrift "Das Leben ist ein Fest".

Eric Clapton Announces Major U.S. Tour Culminating In 2013 Crossroads Guitar Festival Presented By Chase

Just in from: Where's Eric?

Published: 19 November 2012

OVER 30 OF THE WORLD’S GREATEST GUITARISTS PLAY SIDEMEN TO EACH OTHER OVER TWO NIGHTS AT THE WORLD’S MOST FAMOUS ARENA,

MADISON SQUARE GARDEN, APRIL 12-13

Two-Night Festival To Feature Legendary Music And Collaborations Including: Allman Brothers Band, BB King, Brad Paisley, Eric Clapton, Gary Clark Jr., Jeff Beck John Mayer, Keith Urban, Vince Gill and many more

(November 19, 2012)

Widely considered one of the world’s all time greatest guitarists and known amongst his peers as a great collaborator, Eric Clapton announced today a major U.S. tour culminating in his fourth Crossroads Guitar Festival presented by Chase. The Festival, which has become legendary in its own right for hosting performances and impromptu collaborations from the world’s most legendary guitar players, will take place April 12-13 for the first time at New York City’s famed Madison Square Garden. See full listing below of artists performing.

Clapton and his band will visit more than a dozen cities across the U.S. beginning March 14, 2013 (see itinerary below). The tour will end with the two-night Festival where Clapton will gather the past, present and future of guitar music onto one stage for an unparalleled musical event. All profits from the Festival will benefit The Crossroads Centre in Antigua, a treatment and education facility founded by Clapton for chemically dependent persons. The Festival is presented by Chase.

Since its inception, Clapton’s vision for the Crossroads Guitar Festival has been to create an event where his friends and contemporaries can have fun and perform together for the benefit of a good cause. This year’s Festival will feature two-nights of musical performances with once-in-a-lifetime guitar collaborations. Known as pioneers in their field, the roster of artists spans old and new. The audience can expect unrivaled entertainment, brilliant guitar work, surprise guests and impromptu jams that are the hallmark of these performers.

The first Crossroads Guitar Festival, in June 2004 at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas, was an unprecedented collection of guitar icons from blues, rock and contemporary music. The sold-out show was chronicled in a 2-disc DVD that has since gone on to become one of the world’s top-selling music DVD’s. The Crossroads Guitar Festival 2007 and 2010 were the second and third such concerts by Clapton and were staged at Toyota Park in Chicago. Both Festival were filmed for DVDs and met similar acclaim and achieved multi-platinum status. This will be the Festival’s first-ever visit to New York and Madison Square Garden.

“The Crossroads Festival is the realization of a dream for me, to gather a group of amazingly talented musicians to perform on one stage,” said Clapton. “The Crossroads performers are all musicians I admire and respect.”

In addition to the concerts, the “Guitar Center Road to Crossroads Exhibition” will be featured on the Terrace level @ Madison Square Garden and will excite fans with an incredible guitar-centric celebration of past Crossroads Guitar Festivals. This exhibition will feature the “Legends Guitar Walk”, with some of the most valuable guitars in the history of Rock and Blues, including historic guitars from Guitar Center’s Legends Collection featuring Eric Clapton’s two most famous Fender Stratocasters®, BLACKIE® and ‘Brownie,’ Gibson ES-335 as well as Stevie Ray Vaughan’s ‘Lenny’ Fender Stratocaster®, plus selections from Guitar Center, The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and Experience Music Project.

Additionally, Fender, Gibson, Ernie Ball and Martin will host interactive exhibits where guitar lovers can plug in and play new products and classic favorites, while all visitors will be able to peruse memorabilia and watch archival footage of once-in-a-lifetime performances from prior Crossroads festivals on video walls throughout the exhibition. The “Road to Crossroads Exhibition” will open at 6:30 p.m. on Friday and 6:00 p.m. Saturday, and is free to all ticket holders.

Tickets for the Crossroads Guitar Festival Presented By Chase will be offered as an advance sale to Chase customers beginning Monday, November 26 at 12pm EST via www.ticketmaster.com through Thursday, November 29 at 10pm.
General Public On-Sale will begin Friday, November 30 at 12pm EST.
Tickets for the Clapton 2013 U.S. Tour will go on-sale beginning November 30, 2012. Please check local venue listings for more detailed information.

Elio Pace - Breaking News November 2012

 

BREAKING NEWS
At the invitation of the hugely popular Swedish band Shake, Elio travels to Sweden today to perform live as their special guest tonight,

Friday 16 November in Bollnäs and tomorrow night,

Saturday 17 November in Sundsvall.
Elio's relationship with the band was forged earlier this year when Shake recorded a version of Elio's song 'Oh So Tight' for their album 'Quartet' which entered the Swedish album charts at No.10. Shake's version of 'Oh So Tight' went on to reach Gold record sales as part of a 2CD Rock And Roll/Rockabilly compilation album called 'Cruising Klassiker' released by EMI Sweden and which also featured tracks by Elvis Presley, Chuck Berry and Fats Domino.

We are also very pleased to announce that Elio will be producing Shake's lead singer and piano-player, Johan Sjödin's, new solo album next year. Expected to be recorded in both the UK and in Sweden, Elio will also be writing the musical arrangements, contributing to the writing of new material as well as duelling with Johan on piano on a track or two!

Here is what Johan has to say about the project: "[Elio's album] 'A Seat At My Table' is the record I always wanted to make! The perfect mix of groovy boogie-piano, perfect vocals, beautiful harmonies and brilliant song material. I am very excited to have Elio arranging and producing my new album and I know that working with him is going to be great fun."

Auto abgeschleppt, Konto leergefegt, Mädchen fort - Konzertkritik Chris Farlowe u. Norman Beaker Band

Der Blues ist noch immer mächtig am Kochen: Chris Farlowe und die Norman Beaker Band in der Kofferfabrik - 14.11.2012 10:15 Uhr

FÜRTH - Begegnung mit einer Blues-Legende: Chris „The Voice“ Farlowe gab sich die Ehre in der Kofferfabrik.

Er kann’s noch immer, wenngleich ihn die Jahre ein wenig leiser gemacht haben: Chris Farlowe (re.) beim denkwürdigen Fürther Auftritt am Montagabend.

Herausragende Schallplatten prägen sich schon beim ersten Hören ein. Aber die Begegnung mit „Colosseum Live“ war eine der Extraklasse. Erwartungsvoll setzten wir die Nadel in die Rille — und flogen im nächsten Moment an die Wand. Ein Urschrei explodierte aus den Boxen. Kam das tatsächlich aus einer menschlichen Kehle? Hatte sich jemand auf Omas Nadelkissen gesetzt? Oder glühende Kohlen in den Hosenladen geschaufelt? Es war Chris Farlowe in Höchstform.

Status Quo Original Line-up on Tour 2013

We are delighted to announce that Francis Rossi, Rick Parfitt, Alan Lancaster and John Coghlan, the original band line-up, are reforming for a one-off, never to be repeated series of UK dates in March 2013. Status Quo manager Simon Porter said, “People have wanted this announcement to be made for years, and here it is. This is a real moment in the chequered history of Status Quo and it comes after almost 30 years of acrimony, and 10 years of law suits and court battles. Just 2 years ago the thought of the Frantic Four performing again was unthinkable. Now, 50 years on from when Francis and Alan first performed together as schoolboys, it is fitting that everything has come full circle for these unique one-off shows. More details, including the likely contents of the set, will be announced by the band themselves at the Classic Rock Awards on 13th November 2012. 10th March 2013    Glasgow O2 Academy 12th March 2013    Manchester O2 Apollo 13th March 2013    Wolverhampton Civic 15th March 2013    London, Hammersmith Apollo 16 th March 2013   London, Hammersmith Apollo The Quo web site pre-sale has now sold out. 02 and Live Nation have pre-sales starting

Tickets will go on general sale from Friday 9am.

Konzertbericht aus Gelsenkirchen, Quelle WAZ:

Musiker-Legende Johnny Winter enttäuschte

13.11.2012 | 14:53 Uhr

Gelsenkirchen. Eines war schon bei der Anfahrt zum Musiktheater klar: Der zieht Leute. Konkret war der niemand anderes als Blues-Legende Johnny Winter, der Gelsenkirchen am Montag auf seiner „Roots-Tour“ besuchte. Die Erwartungen im ausverkauften Großen Haus waren riesig. „Johnny, Johnny“- Rufe waren schon beim Auftritt von Einheizer Thomas Blug laut zu hören.

Hölzern an der Gitarre

Als es um 21 Uhr losging, blieb der aufgestellte Thron für Winter vorerst leer. Die Musiker spielten sich ein paar Minuten warm. Dabei brannte Gitarrist Paul Nelson ein Feuerwerk all seiner Gitarrentricks ab, um für den Rest des Abends in den Hintergrund zu treten, als Johnny Winter unter lautem Beifall die Bühne betrat. Halb gebückt spielte er vor seinem Platz ein paar Akkorde im Stehen, um sich danach zu setzen und das Konzert mit dem Rock’n’Roll-Klassiker „Johnny B. Goode“ zu eröffnen.

Von seinem aktuellen Album „Roots“ präsentierte er u.a. die Bluesnummer „Got my Mojo Workin‘“ oder „Dust my Broom“. Gut klang die Band um den Altmeister beim langsamen Dreivierteltakt-Blues „Black Jack“. Daneben hielt das Set auch einige Rocknummern bereit. Allen voran „Jumpin‘ Jack Flash“ von den Rolling Stones, das leider in einer ermüdenden zehnminütigen Version daherkam.

Während des 90-minütigen Auftritts wirkte Winter bei den ersten Stücken nicht ganz frisch und etwas hölzern an der Gitarre. Gleich zum Auftakt vermasselte er zahlreiche Läufe. Dies legte sich nach einiger Zeit, jedoch blieben seine Soli oft eintönig und unsauber. Sein Kompagnon an der zweiten Gitarre spielte den Konzertabend für sich alleine. Sein Instrument war so schlecht abgemischt, dass kaum eine Note das Publikum im Saal hörbar erreichte. Schlagzeuger Vito Liuzzi hatte diese Probleme nicht. Kraftvoll und gut hörbar gab er den Takt vor und hielt die Band zusammen, wenn ihr Lead-Gitarrist mal wieder gegen jede Melodie oder Rhythmik spielte.

Eine Blueslegende in Würzburg

Die Johnny Winter Band liefert ein beeindruckendes Konzert in der Würzburger Posthalle

Würzburg (music-on-net) Wohl niemand geht in ein Johnny Winter Konzert, um im Vorprogramm einen Saarbrücker Gitarristen zu erleben, der in der Fachwelt höchstes Ansehen genießt, aber ansonsten wohl weniger bekannt ist. Thomas Blug heißt der Gitarrenzauberer und er weiß sehr wohl um seinen Bekanntheitsgrad. Insofern ist es auch angemessen, dass er stolz von sich und den ihn beeindruckenden Begegnungen in der große Welt der Premium-Gitarristen erzählt und uns dazwischen seinen ganz speziellen Aperitif kredenzt. Er war unter anderem mit schon mit Tic Tac Toe, den von mir so hochgeschätzten Rainbirds und mit Stewart Copeland, dem Drummer von The Police, unterwegs gewesen.
