Mother’s Finest @ Metropol - Berlin(DE)

Mother’s Finest @Metropol - 12/01/25

I have seen Mother's Finest for the first time and maybe it was also for the last time.

But let's start at the beginning. Last year, I missed their sold-out concert here in Berlin, and when I saw that they were coming back this year, I immediately ordered a ticket.

The concert took place at the Metropol (my last concert there was in 1997).

OK, last Monday was the day. Shortly before 8 p.m., I arrived at the Metropol (it was relatively full, but still manageable).

With two drinks in hand, I made my way to the front of the stage (2nd row) and waited for the concert to begin.

Rodgau Monotones @ Antreffhalle - Merzhausen(DE)

Rodgau Monotones @Antreffhalle - 10/25/25

Diesmal auf Deutsch: Rodgau Monotones die alten Rocker aus Südhessen waren für eine Extra Tour diesmal im Schwalm-Eder Kreis und zwar in Merzhausen unterwegs.

Die Karte für das Konzert hatte ich schon im März gekauft - ebenso Hans (guter Freund aus alten Jesberger-Zeiten), mit dem ich dann gegen 18:30 Uhr von Jesberg aus Richtung Merzhausen losgefahren bin. Kurz vor 19 Uhr waren wir dann an der Halle und haben sogar einen Parkplatz direkt vor der Halle bekommen. In der Halle und im Foyer war noch nicht viel los, aber mit Getränkekarte sind wir dann in die Halle rein und haben schon das erste Getränk geordert.

Kurze Zeit später kamen auch Klaus (auch Jesberger und Abi-Jahrgang) und seine Frau herein und man hat sich nett unterhalten. Vom Abi-Jahrgang habe ich dann noch Andrea und Astrid gesehen. Sonst war wohl keiner mehr da.

Die Halle wurde langsam voller - es sollte ja um 20 Uhr losgehen. Wir sind dann nach vorne gegangen und 15 Min später kamen sie dann auf die Bühne.

Lettuce @ Lido - Berlin(DE)

Lettuce @Lido - 09/23/25

The first time for me to see Lettuce.

I didn't know them before and only became aware of them because I read several music articles and watched videos of them. Great funk music, and then I saw that they were playing in Berlin—so off I went.

I was there short before they should start to perform. After ordering some beer I went to the left side of the concerthall where you could sit on some leather seats - maybe 30cm high and 1m deep. The hall was 2/3 filled but when Lettuce started to play at 8:15 pm more people were coming in and it was getting a nice evening with grooving psychadelic funkbeats and horns

First I just stood up from my seat and started to swing with the music. And as always. One bigger person than me was in front so I couldn't look pretty good in the direction of the stage. But than I thought ‘Staying on my sofa-seat with my feet will fix this problem’, so I put my shoes off and stand up on the seat grooving all the time.

After one hour Lettuce made a short break and I talked to a man near me about the band, funk music in common, nice guy.

Short before the end I left my place and walked to the front of the stage to get maybe a setlist. I stood directly before Eric “Benny” Bloom - the trumpet player - and asked him if I could get the setlist which was taped at his place. He gave me a sign to wait until they finnished.

Short after that their main program was over so they left the stage for some encore.

When they come back to the stage Eric had an extra setlist paper for me and another person. I was happy and they played their last song

Lettuce is:
Adam Deitch: drums, percussion
Adam “Shmeeans” Smirnoff: guitar
Erick “Jesus” Coomes: bass
Ryan “Zoid” Zoidis: alto, baritone and tenor sax, synths
Eric “Benny” Bloom: trumpet, horns
Nigel Hall: vocals, Hammond B-3, Rhodes, clavinet, keyboards

Two short videos I made and one from YouTube:
