I'm appalled that Bill is actually wearing the same clothes from last tour. +tsk tsk+

I noticed that as well.
Maybe it's just for the 1000 Hotels tour.

I posted more pictures here.

I was on another TH forum and one girl who went posted this:

''Hi, this is my first comment here, but I thought you'd like to have a quick summary of the concert. And I wont only tell you about the good parts...

So first off, the screaming: this is a sound that you cant, I repeat, you simply cant describe to someone who has not been to a TH concert. (It was my first one) I have never ever heard anything like it my whole life. They were screaming so loud that I though my eardrums would start bleeding any minute. I'm not joking here. You could barely hear the music or Bill's singing. It was an amazing concert and Bill was in top form, his voice is totally back, and I was so relieved to hear him singing the high notes perfectly, so the guys were doing an amazing job. It's just that this screaming drowned out everything. They had to put on the volume to the max and it almost made it impossible to enjoy.

The cutest moment undoubtedly was when Bill introduced the others. I hope there will be videos of the big screens where you can see his facial expressions, because he simply was adorable. And yes, they f***ed up Vergessene Kinder. I think there was some problem with the bass, it was so loud that the whole arena was literally shaking plus I'm sure Tom f***ed it up with his intro and for a moment Bill and Tom and the Georg were completely out of sync, people noticed too, they stopped screaming and singing, but then they sort of found each other again, but really this song was terrible, all you could hear was this booming sound. And it was not playback. Neither was ADS, there was just some additional vocal which they added to the song. Gustav's solo and the way he riled the audience up was just great.

And now for the really really bad part. I know a lot of people wont agree with me, but despite the teasing between BIll and the others there was just something off here. I missed the interaction during In die Nacht, Tom barely acknowledged Bill, after ADS the boys didnt come forward and bowed together,Bill simply dashed off stage, he was gone in like 5 seconds, Tom didnt come forward to ADS when the glitter was blown in the air only like half a minute later which was very strange...These are small things, but they made the whole experience really strange for me. Plus, I missed Bill's bringing a fan up to the stage and generally he didnt speak too much with the audience. It was a quick succession of songs after one another. Oh, and you couldnt hear the first two lines of Ich brech aus bc Bill's mic wasnt switched on.

I hope you dont mind that this summary is not all like 'How amazing! Perfect!' I tried to be realistic here. I will never forget this night and it was great, and Bill was great, but these things happened. I travelled there from Hungary just to see them, so I was a bit pissed off with the screaming people. I could have enjoyed this a lot more if I had heard more of Bill and the music than of the audience.

Okay, now tear me into tiny little pieces...:) ''





please note that i didn't go to teh concert so this isn't my review. :)

[NicoleKaulitz]

I posted this on the Street Team forum, so I'll post it here aswell.
My journey. :D

Ok, from the beginning.
I got up at 2am to leave at 3am, then the flight was at like 7.15am, so I was extremly tired all day.
We got to our hotel at about, uh... 1pm. My dad and Jade slept, but I was like "lol i can't sleep during the day" so at about 3am they finally woke up and we decided we'd go and try to find the place and start queing, it was like 4pm when we started queing, and it was raining and I was like "lolcold" 'cause Jade stole my jumper so I just had a flag around me. So we hung around the tour buses for a while, speaking to this guy who was security or summin, and these girls walked past us and must of seen my flag and was all "HELLO I'M *forgot her name* WHAT IS YOURS?!" so I replied to her. Then we saw David Jost walking about randomly getting filmed, he's quite hot in person btw. He stopped and store at my flag for a while then walked away like ;D but I didn't get a picture of him, because it wasn't until after he had gone I realised who he was.
So there was moments where I just stood in the freezing cold not being able to move, and these girls behind me kept on pushing me into the boy infront of me and elbowing me in the back and hitting my head, like lol. Then we got let in, and on the way I SAW SAKI, at a window with one of his legs on the window, and he had shorts on and was all posing and stuff and it was really funny XD In the queue, we got given out silver stars and rubber gloves, the star to hold up during 1000 Meere and the rubber gloves to hold up blown up at Wo Sinde Eure Hande.

Gig: I was sitting at Tom's side and my view was really good, except this big thing that was part of the stage blocked off Gustavs head so he just looked headless, which was annoying. I can't remember what order the songs were in, but they played Ubers Ende Der Welt, Totgeliebt, Spring Nicht, Heilig(?) Wo Sinde Eure Hande, Stich Ins Gluck, Ich Brech Aus, Reden, Vergessen Kinder, An Deiner Seite (Ich Bin Da), Schwarz, Durch Den Monsun, In Die Nacht, Rette Mich, 1000 Meere and Geh, maybe more. I totally forgot, most of the show I was just in a daze and didn't realise I was phsyically there actually seeing them, it was so surreal. 1000 Meere came on, and everyone held up their stars, I think it was little ones on the standing and big ones in sitting, and it looked really cool where the lights hit off them, at the end everyone threw them down. n.n At Wo Sinde Eure Hande, we all got rubber gloves and blew them up, I didn't have mine ready, so I was rushing about everywhere looking for my bag and trying to blow it up with a flashy thing and a camera in my hands, not easy. But it was cool. :) Uhh, what next, I can't remember or describe it really well, as I said it was so surreal being there. Tom got hit by a shoe during In Die Nacht, which I was pretty shocked, I can understand glow sticks, but shoes could totally ruin everything,luckily it didn't hit his guitar, but his arm and it didn't seem to throw him off much. I noticed the hiccups in Vergessen Kinder, which did sort of f**k that song up. And yeah, the screaming at the beginning was just sort of "omg O_O"

But even though I travelled from Scotland, and it cost quite alot, I'd do it all over again 1000 times.

[psychic hearts]

Thanks for posting your review, Nicole! I wish I could have seen them. I think it's kind of sweet that he's still wearing the same clothes from the last tour--it's like they're really trying to 'make up' the gigs, exactly as they would have been.

Butterflies: It's good to hear a review from people who have mixed feelings about the gigs, too, I think. A lot of the time, if people complain about a show, they're very dramatic, but that girl's review seemed pretty balanced. I'm always interested to hear both what people like, and what they don't, about the live shows.

That looks nice and long but the concert just felt too short again. But I got to say, I think it was the worst one I've seen from the guys (and I've seen five now). There were this huge mistake with technics on Vergessene Kinder and even though many have said that Bill sounded great, I didn't think so. He sounded better before. He was careful with his voice and sang many parts lower than before and Georg backing vocals were sometimes louder than Bill's vocals.Plus he made the crowd sang a lot but that's normal. And when it comes to screaming, I think it was even louder on Friday that it has been before but I'm use to it and it doesn't bother me anymore. On contrary, I think it's kinda funny. Though I can never hear what Bill is saying but he uses same speeches so it doesn't really matter. :roll:

There were a lot of good things as well, of course. I even thought that these mistakes made them more human because they've always been a bit too clean. The new stage is great, especially lights were beautiful and worked within the songs. Bill looked cute as ever (though I hoped he would have not have that hair style) and he changed clothes (well, shirts) four times... :lol: Crowd were great, so into the concert, it was fab. But the truth is that guys really weren't. I don't know why, but something was really missing. It felt like Bill lost the contact to audience from time to time. And after VK it really felt like he wanted to just go away. Poor little perfectionist.

Set list was nice and new. It was great to hear Übers Ende der Welt which has before drowned under the screaming of the crowd because it used to be the opening of the show. Geh was superb! So much better than on record. Unfortunately I forget to watch Bill during Reden because I was on Tom side at that time. Bill is always naughtiest during that song. Spring Nicht was beautiful and it was nice to hear Schwarz even though I missed Ich bin nich' Ich. And I was so happy that they had saved the part of Durch den Monsun, when the stage goes silent and dark before last chorus and beginning of that Bill runs to the end of catwalk. That's probably my fave part of the wholw show.

But yeah, even the concert wasn't that great, it was still so much better than most of the other bands concerts. So, I'll be seen on other TH concerts as well.

pyhsic hearts (sorry if i've spelt it wrong,,)

i know what you mean, i mean usually all's i hear is ''oh how perfectt, bill was amazing '' and that's it never what it was actually like, i mean i'm not syaing their not amazing live because i've never ahd teh chance to see them live,but i would love to, they just won't bloody come to teh U.K ¬¬

but yea, i wanna hear about teh rest of teh band not just bill like how gustavs solo was cool and how there wasn't alot of interaction between each of them.

tbh i think they may have had an arguement before teh show hence teh lack of acknowledgement.

wups had abit of a rant there *giggles*

xx

[ForeverxSacred]

Well, That mistake at vergessene kinder looked like there was a tape, cause you could hear drums, But Gustav came later.. XD

But it wasn't playback, and I really enjoyed the concert!
Well, They looked very happy, And Bill kept smiling,
And when he stoped singing at Durch den Monsun and everybody was screaming for 2 minutes or so..
He listened and looked at the crowd and he smiled and he didn't knew what to do.. <3

And there was internaction between them.
Well not so much as always, but it was there.. ;)

Some people I know are saying so much negative things,
But it was great!
I mean.. I have been to 4 TH concerts, And this one was so awesome!
I mean, Some things went a little bit wrong, But it can't be perfect always..

I had 2 ?Banners? with :
'Tom, Bitte mach mini gibsons für mich'
and with
'Bill, Strahl wieder für mich, Du bist meine sonne'

Bill tried to read it but I think he couldn't see it very good.
So next time I want better places so Bill can read it.
Ghaha and Tom f....d his Gibson 2 times :o

It was a great concert!
I can't even describe it. :)

I wrote that in the US Forum:

It all began Thursday, when I flew from Munich to Frankfurt to my friends, Shirley and Janina. They picked me up from the airport and we all spent the night at Janina´s house. Friday morning, Janina´s mum drove us to Dortmund, where we arrived at 11 am. It took us over 5 minutes to reach the end of the line, so many people had spent the night there. The first came 2 weeks before the concert. Those crazy people had suitcases with clothes and food with them. The waiting time was cold and rainy. I also recognized fans from Sweden, Austria, France and Poland. Inside, we stood in the 2nd block, but I couldn´t see the guys except on the screens. I liked their stage and the accustic was very good. Bill changed outfit 2 times. At first he wore black pants and a red t-shirt. Then he changed into jeans, black t-shirt and a jacked. At last he wore black pants and the sweater he created by himself. They played more songs and longer than on every other tour, but they put less effort into the songs. Bill didn´t let the fans sing along in Totgeliebt, he didn´t have his special microphone in Wo sind eure Hände and nobody came onto the stage. They had some problems with the sound especially in Ich brech aus and Vergessene Kinder. The best thing on the concert was Gustav´s drum solo at the end. It was way awesome. After the concert, we went back to Frankfurt, where I had a good time until I flew back home on Sunday.
Here are some pics and videos. The videos are in very good quality, I was surprised myself when I saw how good they turned out.

OK... so im back from a crazy trip...
The show was truly amazing!!
Im so happy to se Bill back in shape, sounding better than ever!
Last time I saw him was in Marseille, and hearing him sing now was just pure love!!

The guys really know how to put on a show, eventhough its almost the same show everytime, its still new and entertaining like hell!
Me and Kathy stood really close in the beginning but then these young fangurlz just got a bit too crazy... Im a old lady so i couldnt handle it 4 too long.. haha..
So we went back, and thank god 4 that.. the view was amazing and we kept running between Tom and Georg, so much fun!!! Danced my ass off!!
And in the end we stood right infront of the catwalk...
And yes I got Gustav´s drumstick!!! SO HAPPYYY!!! GEIL!!!!

There was a lot of Swedes in Dortmund, that made me so happy!
So guys, Sweden next!!

Truly an amazing night, and a huge bow for these talented artists!!
But one thing is 4 sure, Bill owns that stage! And he knows it!! Works his ass off...

Here´s 2 videos... Not any good ones.. but still something...
