I accidentally got double booked for Thursday evening in Berlin. The good news was Nervosa went on after Marillion and Berlin’s public transportation is rather efficient. So after Marillion I jumped on the U to go see Nervosa at Sage Club, the first live venue I’ve been to that features a fire-breathing dragon. The place was a trip. Check it out even if Nervosa isn’t playing the next time you are in Berlin.

Nervosa was as awesome as ever. I’ve now seen them in three different countries. More photos of them on this evening and at Gefle Metal Festival will be posted here soon.

Marillion in Berlin, Germany @ Huxley’s Neue Welt (July 20, 2017)

Thanks to a friend giving me a Marillion CD about 13 years ago, my first night in Berlin was spectacular this past weekend. My plane from Copenhagen was delayed by more than an hour which led to lots of stress (not to mention sweat, as Germany is far warmer and humid than Scandinavia). However, I made it to the photo pit with at least 15 seconds (but not 30) to spare before Marillion hit the stage.

The setlist consisted mostly of their new album, FEAR, in its entirety. I didn’t get to hear anything off of Marbles (the CD my friend gave me) or my favorite song (When I Meet God), but the evening was wonderful.

This was my first time seeing Marillion. They are from England but have played more shows in Germany than in the USA. Hence, I was very lucky they were playing in Berlin on one of the three nights I was there.

My place this year, near Valby Station, is great. However, I really miss being near Copenhagen’s lakes. I’ve only seen them a few times this year. I saw them nearly every day during the prior three summers I spent in Copenhagen.

Today’s photo comes from a “trip” I took to central Copenhagen last week to eat ramen at Slurp Ramen Joint.
