Guten morgeeeeeen ๐Ÿ™‚
Da mir meine einzige Begleitung fรผrs Berlin Konzert (02.02) nรคchsten Monat eben abgesagt hat, wollte ich hier mal nachfragen ob jemand Bock hat mich noch in die Konzertgruppe aufzunehmen und zusammen Party zu machen ๐Ÿ˜Ž ๐Ÿซ  Hab keine Humorbehinderung und ich denke man kann ganz gut SpaรŸ mit mir haben.

Schreibt mir einfach ne PN Sonst sehe ich das vermutlich nicht ๐Ÿ˜„

Hey all, this will be the first concert I go to in the Velodrom; is there a coat check? I don't want to be moshing in my winter coat, but I also don't want to stand outside in my concert outfit freezing for hours in February ๐Ÿ˜…

river snow
#

How many of you live in Berlin and how many of you are planning on travelling there for the concert?

jaunty herald
#

I'm gonna travel there for the concert SPCCatHi

river snow
#

I'm also still planning on travelling but it seems really hard atm as we have huge strike on 1.-2.2. that affects all flying and travelling in Finland (in and out too). As the strike affects flights the day before and after too my flights will be most likely cancelled as my original flights are on 1.2. and 3.2. MochiCry
My personal deadline is tomorrow until the free cancellation deadline of my hotel booking.

#

I am currently looking for some people who I could possibly stay with from 30th until 1st to cut accommodation costs as I could be able to change my flights to be on 30th and 4th... So almost a week unplanned in Berlin, that's not cheap...

modern spire
#

living in berlin, my sister will be traveling from the north of germany.

modern spire

#

I booked a hotel for the first days as I'm not planning on missing the concert. Also now thinking if I should go to Hanover too... (if I get a ticket that is..).

Anyone going to Hanover from Berlin on 3.2.? I'm just checking my options, traveling with someone would be nicer than alone.

slender stirrup
#

I'll be traveling there by car. And because i'm an oldschool German it'll be waaaaay ahead of time.

pine pollen
#

Iโ€™ll probs walk or get a Uber tbh

#

I fly in on the 31st

vague wyvern

Travelling in from the UK for this!

Hi all, I'm about to buy a last moment seating ticket, but naver been to this venue and have no idea how the view and sound is. Does anyone have experience with that?

river snow
#

It's an arena, and when I was there (years ago tho) I didn't have anything to complain soundwise. Other than that the entrances were somehow a bit tricky to find, at least back then, nothing else to complain either.

#

hey, my best friend won't be able to make it to the berlin show, if anyone is still searching for a ticket you can message her on instagram (@melaniesteigler, she does not have discord), she would like sell it for a reduced price, it's a standing room ticket

vague wyvern
#

Well.. nearly panicked for a sec, but where iโ€™m staying is walkable - is it just the Friday?

wind yew
#

I'm also staying super close to the venue.
But I hope I will be able to catch my train on sunday ๐Ÿ˜ฅ

I heard that db won't be doing any as they're currently negotiating again and for db the earliest next strike could be in March. Don't take.ny word 100% as I don't even know German.

somber bay
#

That's what the Tagesschau is also reporting, no new strikes til March 3 earliest

#

Which means I can still go to the Vienna show also haha

vague wyvern
#

Welp gotta love that train drivers everywhere are striking, exact same in the uk currently

vague wyvern
river snow
#

We have more than train drivers and they're demonstrating against the government and not their employer so it's a bigger matter. The strike is mostly on 1.-2.2.

#

I'm at the venue but I'm not quite sure where the entrance is ^^"

somber bay
#

I was going to ask how early people are getting there today, but I guess some are already there??

wind yew
#

Well, I'm alone, that's why I don't know if I'm at the right place

somber bay
#

I am still at Uni and then have to go home and change and so on

jagged steppe
wind yew
#

OK then see you there (maybe) ๐Ÿ˜Š

jagged steppe
#

Little slide show of how to get to the entrance if you arrive by train

wind yew
#

OK I'm not at the right place at all

#

I'm very confused

#

Where is this place

jagged steppe
#

Are you on top of the buildung? Its like a park

wind yew
#

No, I'm right against the building

#

This is hell

wide anvil
#

Did you manage to found it @wind yew ?

wind yew
#

No T.T

frigid hornet
#

@wind yew - are you on the right side - so you can see the train tracks/are close to the s-bahn?

wind yew
#

Finally got it

wide anvil
#

Donโ€™t worry @wind yew Iโ€™m pretty sure you will meet someone who can gives you directions !
Iโ€™m Waiting for tonight and I will just following people with fluorescent outfits CattoBlush

wind yew
#

It's hell for people NOT coming from the train

wide anvil
#

Really ?

#

What are the steps please ?

wind yew
#

The entrance is not where Google maps says it is

#

When you arrive from the surface, you have to go to the big "velodrom" sign and go down creepy stairs

#

Then you'll see the people waiting XD

wide anvil
#

Hope you have some food and drink for your waiting

wind yew
#

A bit

frigid hornet
wind yew
#

Please make sure to stay hydrated and warm! โค๏ธโ€๐Ÿฉน

wind yew
#

Well we're protected from rain so that's good at least. I'm gonna be a bit cold because I didn't bring a coat

river snow
#

It's the round one in the middle of the "park" at lower level

wind yew
#

I was there. It's not there

#

It's underground

river snow
#

If you're further away It's hard to see

wind yew
#

It's down there. Creepy stairs

river snow
#

Well I have gone in where my pic shows the pavement under the roof. Dunno exactly which side as it's round ๐Ÿ˜…

wind yew
#

You still there ? I'm coming around there

river snow
#

Nah. Too cold. I just had a lil walk around

pine pollen
#

Do we know what time doors is

river snow
#

7pm would usually mean when the 1st support starts

pine pollen
#

river snow
#

pine pollen
#

brisk crag
#

I'm sitting on the left side, but rather far from stage

vague wyvern
#

Likewise, got tickets when it was fairly well booked

brisk crag
#

I got mine via fan sale in the absolute last moment

#

Feel a bit sorry for the person who sold them - they apparently got desperate to seel in the last 30 minuted of fan sale being opened and went way below original price..

Quick tip, if you didn't bring cash but need it for coat check, you can buy two beer cup deposits ("Pfand") with a card, get the cash, and then use it for coat check. Shout out to the Angel at the beer stall who let me do this

#

Iโ€™ll see you after the show

i love the legs running behind the curtain ๐Ÿ˜„

pine pollen
#

In the spot from@when we first met

river snow
#

The set list was different than before, right? At least the order of some songs? Yes no?

mortal ledge
river snow
#

At one point I started to wonder where is mindreader but it came last

mortal ledge
#

I think Mindreader was previously in the regular block instead of the encore?

#

but not sure. I saw so many EC shows I can't recall all those setlists ๐Ÿ˜„

river snow
#

Yeah it was somewhere in the middle

#

Also they did both the scene and best day that weren't both on the list all the time? I think either or both were dropped at some point but they played both again

mortal ledge
#

At least I remember @arctic wasp saying something like "good thing, they don't play that song anymore" ๐Ÿ˜„

#

Not because it's a bad song, but becuase when you listened to a song su many times live it might get boring

river snow
#

That probbaly happens easily to older songs

brisk crag
#

I love Best Day, glad they played it

mortal ledge
#

I love it for the memories I have with it. But I can also get bored by songs I used to love when they are played always and everytime. Especially when the hit a totally different mood. Like the Band Callejon still ALWAYS plays the ballad "Kind im Nebel" mid-set and it always ruins the good mood

#

It used to be a great song, but bores me for years now.

arctic wasp
mortal ledge
#

Or that maybe, I dunno. I'm getting old, I have old brains ๐Ÿ˜„

#

But the point is: You don't want to listen that song live anymore

arctic wasp
mortal ledge
#

I talked to him a bit and I asked "how come you don't really do stuff with EC anymore? Are you not interested or didn't they ask you?". He basically said he is totally open for another project with EC but they didn't ask him yet but they are still in close contact.

distant totem
#

okay that show was definitely fun ๐Ÿค˜๐Ÿผ

I am lucky that I will be seeing them in Wien as well so I can use that concert to just be totally in the moment, knowing I already have some recordings from the Berlin show plus that full length one

I wonder if they managed to get the t-shirt off the ceiling that Kevin shot so skillfullykekw

vague wyvern
#

i used to be bad for it.. but, i tend to do one song, and then maybe a few pics through the gig - so did tekkno train and then a pic with the penis piano with everyones phone torches on, and then one other

#

that.. and i also had to conserve battery power ๐Ÿ˜„

distant totem
#

I usually want to record whole songs and mess up in the middle ๐Ÿฅฒ

somber bay
#

it's so hard to get thru a song without jumping around for me ๐Ÿ˜… and all the songs that I would most meant to record, are also the ones where Ioat want to dance or mosh!

vague wyvern

#

They didn't mention anything about recording any songs. Maybe in Hannover or one of the following gig they will... YT is full of fan videos of various length and quality
