Alexander Scheer - Andreas Dresen & Band Immer Wieder Nie Genug - Live aus dem Festsaal Kreuzberg (2-CD)

(BuschFunk) 28 tracks, digipack, incl. booklet

The festival hall was bubbling to the top for more than two hours, not because of the 38 degrees outside temperature, which the weather stations had alarmingly announced. The band appeared for their, long sold out, several times rescheduled Berlin concert. Despite many ovations at the Germany-wide concerts since 2019, which often stunned the band, but a special, Berlin challenge. When the water bottles were not circling the stage, Scheer jumped over them like a hip madman, assisted Dresen skillfully from the half-field and primed the guitars of Jürgen Ehle the whole thing to a fat, yet crystal clear 26-song sound mixture.

From the press release:
"GUNDERMANN", the directorial work of Andreas Dresen became an arthouse hit and was decorated with 6 LOLAs, the German Film Award. A film that was consistently acclaimed by the media, deeply touching, with a soundtrack that gets under your skin. As the leading actor, Alexander Scheer was awarded the Bavarian Film Prize and the LOLA. A busy singer and musician himself, he received the German Record Critics' Award for his interpretation of the songs in the feature film, which, incidentally, earned him a place in the top 20 of the German album charts. Scheer, who already fascinated as Keith Richards in the feature film "Das wilde Leben" and thrilled as David Bowie at the Schauspielhaus Hamburg, sucks himself deep into the cosmos and the songs of Gerhard Gundermann. He plumbs them, unfolds an almost magical intensity "with everything he's got" and returns it clenched.

A band was formed especially for the film premiere, not suspecting that a band project would emerge from it, which is now a concert highlight and festival event with a rapidly growing audience throughout Germany. In the meantime, the first live disc "Immer wieder Nie Genug" (Always Again Never Enough) has been released, which testifies to never standing still, but developing enough material to happily expand the repertoire. It may (also) be danced!
