04.08.2010 Fiddler's Green
Wacken Open Air XXI
Wacken (Germany)
On Wednesday evening this years‘ Wacken Open Air started for me with the first concert. The band Fiddler’s Green was up to now only known to me from CD’s and finally I wanted to see them live. Many others had the same idea because of the quite small area in front of the stage was jam-packed. (maybe the larger Party-Stage would have been a better place for their gig).
That could not harm the atmosphere and also a shower in between did not change anything on that. The band played a great concert and cast a spell on the audience immediately. Because of circle-pits being forbidden (although it would not fit to the kind of music they played) the singer had thought of a nice alternative. So he asked the people to simply walk around the sound tower in a huge circle what was followed by nearly all. That was really impressive!
Appropriately the singer said after the concert during his farewell that they just recorded a new concert-DVD but rather should have done this at Wacken. Not only Fiddler’s Green was enthused by the concert, also for me it had been the best concert of WOA 2010.
