Good music surely is a matter of taste. BUT some things are just such classics that I do not hesitate to declare them “simply good”. I consider myself a lucky guy. Last week I had the pleasure of seeing Mark Knopfler in Cologne, Bon Jovi in Frankfurt and Alanis Morissette in Frankfurt as well. All three concerts were a real experience and even though there were quite some problems with sound quality I would definitely go again to all the events.
The Mark Knopfler concert was really very cozy; drinks served at your seat and ALL of the old Dire Straits classics. My favorite “the telegraph lane” was played in an XXL version and I really loved it.
Bon Jovi was the concert with the worst sound – Frankfurt stadium with the roof closed seems to be a really bummer for music – but with the best atmosphere. 40.000 people really had a good time. Next to me – right in the middle of the crowd – was a 70-year-old who knew all the lyrics and on the other side a teenager (in love with John). It was a really amazing party there
Last but not least Alanis Morissette was performing in Frankfurt´s old opera house. What a location for rocky music. She really had a hard time to get the crowed off their seats (yes really everybody was seated) but it eventually happened and the Frankfurt Opera staff had some very new experiences. She played some new and very good songs.
