RPWL April 22, 2012 - De Pul, Uden (NL)
This concert of the German band RPWL
was one of the concerts I was looking forward to. The past has
proven that a show of this formation feels like a family meeting with many
familiar faces in the audience and a nice atmosphere. Thus it was good to be in
venue De Pul in Uden on that Sunday evening. The new RPWL
-
tour has been completely built on their latest album
Beyond Man And Time (see review). By
doing so the band took a risk, because the majority of their fans are very
familiar with the songs from their previous albums and there's always a chance
that a new album hasn't yet settled in their minds.
The enthusiasm of the audience made that the band quickly returned to perform four additional songs. The first encore was just a feast of recognition; these songs are part of almost every RPWL-show I've seen. So after outstanding versions of Sleep, Trying To Kiss The Sun, Breathe In, Breathe Out and Roses, the show was supposed to be over, but the audience yelled for one more song. As a last encore they got the classic piece Hole In The Sky. After the show, a part of the audience stayed in the concert hall to talk to the band members. They were very friendly and willing to talk with their fans, while others made pictures. This kind of openness makes RPWL one of the most accessible bands I've known.
