ROOKIES & KINGS Frei.Wild -Live In Frankfurt (2dvd+2cd) [DVD] [2015]

It was the musical big event of the year. Frei.Wild, probably the most controversial and at the same time successful rock band in Germany, proves one last time before their big live break that it is not without reason the spearhead of the German music landscape. No band of the last 10 years proved and still proves in a comparable style that it belongs to the top three of the very greats in actionism, fan-proximity, credibility and musical creativity. Loved by one, hated and hunted by the other, polarising, hymnic, remains free. Wild likes to be for each of the middle fingers of the nation. Drive, loud and hard strung. So far, no national or international band has succeeded in selling out the largest concert hall in Germany, the Frankfurter Festhalle on two consecutive days. Over 34,000 fans of German rockers from all over the world (not only from Germany, Austria, Italy, Switzerland the Benelux and Scandinavia, also from overseas and Brazil fans had traveled) flocked into the large dome of the banking metropolis to rock the band together with many guest musicians on three stages one last time. And it that . Unforgettable, incomparable, legendary. These two concerts go into history with everyone who was there and anyone who just somehow stands for honest rock music with life-affirming texts. Touching songs about values such as friendship, cohesion, perseverance, love, joy, happiness, grief and home meet and met images for eternity in this album. Seas of hands, tears, emotions, loud and silent moments formed in an incomparable bath of feelings, in bombastic mood the last big live evenings of a band that seemingly meets the nerve of time: hard, direct and unspared touching. It was a celebration of the cardinal directions, it were moments of silence and the hundred thousands of watts, it was the greatest bang in the band history, simply unforgettable. A rocking declaration of love to the loyal fan base. Philipp, Zegga, Jonas and Föhre have announced and pulled it through. They announced their live-tech creative break, promised a concert of superlatives and people came in droves, to tens of thousands. They announced their live break for 2014 in March 2013 to take the freedom to take their freedom, as it is also a text quote from the song. There is not only the one way to take away. Within just two and a half hours, all 34,000 tickets were completely out of print, a somewhat limitless success story at the time. What then followed were the echo scandal, two number 1 albums in the official German album charts with their re-edition of enemies of your enemies and then with their current acoustic album STILL, which in turn landed at number 1 right away. In addition to the SOLD Out enemies of your enemies, there was an extended guest performance journey through Germany, Austria and South Tyrol, which in turn was completely sold out. So how should that be beaten? Exactly, with a two-day mammoth project in the Frankfurt Festhalle, which should hardly be surpassed in rock 'n roll fuel and acoustic madness. Many friendly guest musicians, three played stages, impressive pyro campfires and light shows, 80 crew people, to the 500 helpers, 250 guests of honour from TV radio art, circle of friends and much more made this evening the most legendary celebration of a band that everyone knows since yesterday.
