I'll post some links to German reviews here and am starting with my very own hehe :woot: for Music Headquarter. (sorry, don't have time to translate to English right now.)

I haven't been able to find anything else yet. Someone I know took photos in Munich tho and she usually writes a concert review as well but I haven't heard from her for almost a week, maybe she's sick or so. She will surely write it soon tho.

Edit: Of course there is the other review on MHQ from Cologne:

Cool! I only know a limited amount of German words (I keep on telling myself I need to get back into learning German!), but I like the challenge of trying to decipher what you wrote. Danke schön :).

Good review!
It was the first TLE concert for me.
I think if more people in Germany would get to know their music they would sell out larger venues for sure, because their music just rocks!
One thing I figured out when trying to convince friends to come with me was that the combination of intruments typical of Rockabilly scares alot of people that don't really dig Rockabilly.


Greetings from Munich

Eva's review with great photo-collages and a few videos of brilliant sound and picture quality is up now:

http://www.musicmirror.de/reviewsarchiv494.htm

While she didn't get Chris' name right on all occasions, I have to admit I got the number of people in the crowd wrong. well, at least I hope there were actually 600 fans and not the 350 I guessed. :happy: However, she did throw in some of the countries the fans travelled from to see the band, which I suggested.

Okay, this is obviously gonna be a somewhat shoddy (and probably unintentionally hilarious) translation, but I found the alternate google translate link to the site in English.

11/22/2009 Munich Show (English...ish):
http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=de&u=http://www.musicheadquarter.de/v1/konzert-festival-event-berichte/the-living-end-metropolis-music-hall-muenchen_680.html&ei=RNUUS_yNJo6zlAehx4XTBQ&sa=X&oi=translate&ct=result&resnum=1&ved=0CAgQ7gEwAA&prev=/search%3Fq%3Dhttp://www.musicheadquarter.de/v1/konzert-festival-event-berichte/the-living-end-metropolis-music-hall-muenchen_680.html%26hl%3Den%26safe%3Doff%26sa%3DG


If anybody wants to do this for any of the other links, what you do is:

1. Copy the link address from its original post.
2. Bring up Google, paste the site address into the search bar, and click search as you would doing a normal search.
3. The result will be the regular page link, and to the immediate right of that it will have the option in brackets, [translate this page]. If you click that, it'll take you to an English version of the page.

This works with a lot of sites, it does the whole page, and it's usually a degree more accurate...and certainly a HELL of a lot quicker..than copying the whole page into a translator word by word.

I'm not going to read this :wacko: It takes too much attention to understand what it says! I only read texts in original english...:p

Actually, having read through it, it's surprisingly not that bad a translation considering it was just a website punching the words into some sort of internal translator thing. I actually have this german cd review site saved in my bookmarks that I punch through that translator because it comes out hilarious, it described one album as "rocking hard so as to blow off your chest hairs with its majesty and cause neighbors to say 'what IS that sparkling?!!"

I had to run it through a translator too. I got the gist of the interview, but it would be much better for someone to properly do it. :p

Thanks.

The only thing he said that seemed useful to me is that they find it hard to use computers. You know why I needed this to be mentioned. :pinch: 10 days already!

Hmmm, so that's why those old-school "The Living End Online Chat" things they used to do always ended up being so over-the-top and ridiculous...they couldn't type :p
