- October, 12th 2009 - Bochum (D), Matrix
Another Monday night and back to Bochum, this time to see Y&T playing at the Matrix. When Dirty Passion from Malmö entered the stage only a few dozen people were waiting in front of the stage, but singer Emil Ekbladh and his pals came to rock. The Swedish foursome offered some 80's hard rock with a dash sleaze and some heaviness. Most of the Y&T fans didn't know the band - like me -, but the guys did their best to entertain the people. It was their first time in Germany as Emil Ekbladh explained and he thanked the audience for treating Dirty Passion nicely. Partly Björn Wilander's bass was a bit too prominent, but Y&T isn't the kind of band who gives their support a bad sound and almost no lights. After the rocker Self-Destructive Emil Ekbladh announced that they will slow down a bit... And with Don't Say It's Over they presented a ballad. Most of their songs were rock tune with 80's-like choirs, heavy riffs and a catchy hook. Dirty Passion left a positive impression and I hope to hear more of these guys. |
Y & T - 8th Oct. 2006 - Zoetermeer (NL), de Boerderij
A few weeks ago I heard that Y & T will come over to Europe again - and again there was no show scheduled for Germany -, but luckily for the Netherlands. Next there was the news that they will record a DVD at the Zoetermeer show and so we decided to go there. When we arrived the support band SQY Rocking Team were already on stage. In April 2004 I saw them opening for Y & T in Helmond and they were pretty good, but I still haven't heard any album of them, so I can't tell much about them. Only that it seems they changed and that I liked them better in 2004... Beside that it was time to have a coffee and some snack before the show. ;) Set list:

When I heard that Y & T should play in the Netherlands, I checked their website immediately. I listened to their albums since the early 80's and so them as support of AC/DC in 1982. They just returned last summer for a few festivals, but I haven't had the chance to see them, so I was hot to see them this time around. Luckily they played at the Plato in Helmond which isn't that far from my hometown. I was kind of nervous to see them, for me a special event. When we arrived at the venue some fans were already queuing at the front door. |
