diorama

24.04.05 - Dortmund – Soundgarden - tour mit vnv

Only two days after my last VNV Nation concert I made my way to Dortmund to see the last concert of the European tour. Final concerts are always something special so I was looking very much forward it. We arrived half past 7 just when the doors were open for 30 minutes. So this time no waiting time outside. We directly went into a still quite filled venue and during the support bands there should come much more people in. This time the technical crew had enough time to prepare everything so the lightshow with all bands was much better.
 

Music
As the intro started we were wondering what that should be? Was that really Diorama? Why the hell are they using the melody from the "Rocky" movies as an intro? And then in combination with such silly videos? Of course this was a final show joke as well and VNV Nation´s Ronan explained later that he needed more than 3 hours to prepare that intro. Cool idea I must say and not the only joke during Diorama´s gig. Torben´s vioce sounded as strong as the concert before. The calmer, more intense sounds of Diorama´s songs kept the crowd away from dancing but made them listen to the same songs like in Krefeld.


Performance
Surely the three guys on stage are not the great and vivid dancers, but Torben moved around the stage a lot while the other two guys got stuck behind their instruments. The next joke should come soon as the VNV Nation guys appeared on stage dressed up as cleaning ladies, swayed their besoms and started to scavenge the stage. Felix and Sash only moved out of their way and kept on performing their songs while Torben escaped behind Mark´s drum set. Sadly the atmospheric illuminated set of Diorama was much too fast over after only about 30 minutes und the guys cleared the stage for the main act of the evening.
