tells Peter Hammill ever played two concerts in the same way: both with regard to the lineup, which is only decided a couple of hours earlier, that with regard to the interpretation, both depending on the mood of the evening.
Live In Passionkirche, Berlin MCMXCII these words seems to bear witness. It is in fact a solo show of the tour Fireships of 1992 already represented by Typical Performances Only , double CD brings together a representative selection of songs recorded on that tour. The concert
Passionkirche was recorded for a film, printed first on VHS and then DVD, and this double CD is its soundtrack. Yes is therefore one of the evening proved by Typical (but none of the songs of Berlin was chosen for that record), but if it was not explicitly written on the cover is hard to believe.
The evening of Berlin is in fact a particularly harsh and edgy Hammill, more inclined to scream that sweetness, Hammill who abuses a more than usual guitar strings and pounding the piano keys.
The eleven songs in the lineup (the hard disk Typical considerably less - in fact that is actually longer than a typical concert PH), nine of which are in common with the other disk.
Opening is always left to the beautiful My Room repertoire of VDGG Still Life, followed Curtains and I Will Find You by Fireships , particularly in dry and raw versions. But between the two songs, a surprise: the nineteen-minute Usher's Suite, a rare live interpretation of The Fall Of The House Of Husher entirely for voice and piano of Peter only. In addition to being particularly rare opportunity as it is also currently the only existing possibility to listen to the piece, since the two disks on which it is represented are both out of print. Unfortunately, the play is complicated by the absence of texts, which would make it follow a simple theatrical events such as that based on the story by Edgar Allan Poe.
The fury of the evening is enhanced by the guitar Hammill Strap for (Something About) Dance Ysabel - the other piece "different" Passionkirche - in a particularly hard as the next Given Time , and only with the fury of Patient Hammill seems to find a way to vent.
The weather is epic in the finale, returned to the piano versions of passionate The Future Now (once defined by a blast Hammill) and Traintime , very intense.
The bis of the evening was the guitar Modern, with a heartbreaking and tortured guitar.
In the lineup of the show of April 11, 1992 that have been cut for some reason Just Good Friends, Stranger Still and, unfortunately, an encore of Refugee .
Board for the purchase: Typical complement the beautiful, the jewel of Usher's Suite.
