Recorded by dear friend and taping viKING Lars somewhere near the soundboard at app. 30 meters to stage edge. Unfortunately this show was marred by some major disturbing dropouts
from the sound system (I counted at least 10 of those) and and overall muddy sound. Really a pity, as the band pulled out a real fine show, but what it's worth when the mixing guys
took a break (during the show)? I've been told that these dropouts maybe also been created by a so called "bluetooth connection" which isn't stable. KEEP TO THE CABLES instead!
Anyway, a few really fine pictures shot by KRAUTBEARD are included here as well...

Spacey's notes...

The Mountain called again...and am I that stupid not to hear it? No.
Once again it was a gorgeous five days up on that hills in north easter Hessen filled with pure joy and fun. And even the weather couldn't resist to show its nice face
(yes, except for friday), but it all went very smoothly and fine. Thanks to the crew at BurgHerzbergFestival for making that possible. Almost a week "outside the society",
but as "WE" made our own society there, no violence, no rascim, no hate, no religious madness, no straight capitalism was found there and will never grow their roots up on
the "Holy Mountain". This year marked my 20th visit and I'm still amazed...or even...each year more...
My deepest thanks straight from the heart are to my crew at the campground and my dear fellow DIME tapers as there were...
Lars from Oslo, Martin from Bochum, Wolly from Kevelaer, Olaf and Eddie from Hannover, my bro' Martin + Martina, Klaus from Dortmund, Thomas and Manuela, Volker and Evelyn from Mannheim,
Maggie from Duesseldorf and my TAPERHEARTBROTHERS...Rendel, Propylaen, Krautbeard and HarrieTheFox...and all I forgot...except for the Horst...
It was a real pleasure...

Some Statistics:

Attendence: 12.000+
Ticket price: In advanve 90 Euros
Catering: A lot of food booths with tasty food, also a lot of vegan. Very nice prices. Good smoke, too.
Drinks: Beer tents, Cocktail bars, Winerys...all you could have. Very nice prices, too.
Loos: Refreshed at least twice a day. And there were many. Fine.
Music: I considered this before as the worst lineup in 20 years there, but there were some fine acts, too.
Security: I think...very low...didn't see any police or customs at all. Super!
Wellness: Showers, Massages, Mindaltering services (not included in the ticket). Great!


But now let's get the "tape" rolling...

"Lady in gold" ... I've read that "she" might be the female "Reaper"...hmmm...and none of the band appeared in "gold" instead of all BLACK...
Anyway, I guess this was about the sxth or seventh time I saw this great band, but somehow this time was a real bummer. Not about the performance, but about the "grottenschlechten" Sound
(sorry for the german word, but it describes it perfectly) they had on this thursday night "headliner" show...Anyway, here's something to listen...SB.
