Buongiorno! Our friend Henri Strik of Background Magazine surprised us with a lovely review of the concert in Uden The Netherlands which was on the 6th of December.
The first set was for the brand new album H.A.L.. The music they would perform was almost completely new to me, because the album was on sale for the first time during this tour. Only their first tease (Spacewalk) on the band's first live release Monolith In Rome - A Space Odyssey Live (2015, see review) and a couple of video fragments on the internet revealed what I could expect.
Robert wrote a review about the gig last weekend in Copenhagen! We had a great time in this city with much learning and discovering regarding the band and this concert. We truly hope that we can do this all over again :-) Hereby some photo's regarding the concert:
The review of Robert:
Hi all
As promised the review about the RanestRane-show in Copenhagen at Friday the 4th of December 2015.
The event took place at a beautiful venue arranged by promoter Karsten Mortensen called Koncertkirken in Copenhagen.
The show
RanestRane kicked of with a beautiful intro which fitted perfectly. It took place in a church, what went on into the intro of the first song of H.A.L, the NEW album.
After the boys took their place on the stage, the "real thing" started, H.A.L in full length and power!
It took a few songs before the sound was good but during "Spacewalk" it got better and it was starting to get on "fire"!!!! The audience noticed that too and gave a warm applause after every played song, and that’s more than deserved due to the fact that H.A.L is a ”Masterpiece"!!! I will come with a review about HAL later. Without forgetting one of the other musicians, they are all four superb! The ballad "Buio Intorno" really made a ”marker" with Riccardo Romano on keyboards and Danny Pomo on vocals. But the passion and power they give to that song is just magnificent, magical!!!
The other song what really gave a thrill was ”Computer Malfunction”, here the band showed their skill on the instruments, combined with the Italian passion...."GRANDE"!!!!
After this the boys took a five minute break to come back with some of the older stuff starting with "Shining".
Kicking of with "Redrum" is by no means probably the best example about whats it all about with RanestRane.....music and movie....the classic scene of Jack breaking down the door with his axe, and Danny Pomo playing his drums. You just have to see that! I made a video of it, and it’s on You Tube called ’RanestRane Live in Copenhagen’!!! During this set I got the feeling the guys really where on fire and gave it all, great set in every way!
After this it was time for the more "Romantic and Classic”, Nosferatu.....
There just was "something" about this set, the music, Dracula, Lucy and all this played in a church.
It was almost if everybody was "in the music" and "in the movie" a strange vibe but good vibe, it just felt right!
I think a lot of RR fans have a "thing" for the Nosferatu album. Maybe because its their first, or maybe it’s the story.....but there is "something".
At the end it was time for some Monolith. Here the guys put’s on their best jacket and rocked the house!!! Leaving the audience with a standing ovation!!!
To return for an encore where some other Nosferatu pieces where played.
All good things come to an end… the audience loved it, and I talked to a lot of happy people after the show and got a lot of good and helpful feedback.
On a personal note;
Was it all perfect then? I asked myself......well probably not. Some things can be better or done different maybe,but it’s RR first European solo-tour. So there is probably a lot to learn too....
But for many of us, and them too, it’s a memory for life and a new experience where everybody has learned from, which can be helpful in the future.
One thing I do think we all have in common when it comes to this band: They deserve the best!!!! If they had unlimited resources to do it like they want it to??
Think BIG now!!......But until then its gonna be a "struggle" to survive in a "music-industry" where people hardly take the time anymore to listen to music.....sad but true..
But we will keep on supporting this magnificent band with whole our hearts and do our best to make it work out right!!!
Hoping to see you out there again at another RanestRane gig!!!
Our boys had a lovely weekend in Copenhagen, they were spoiled with presents and love from the Fanweb and Karsten Mortensen who arranged the concert in a beautiful church in Copenhagen! Reviews and photo's will be uploaded soon! After this amazing evening we received many kudos from the band and from Italy! Our family in Italy asked us to send them information and photo's during this weekend which we did! We can't express ourselves with the right words at this moment as we are still shining.... The band has left us, they are on their way for more memories and concerts. We wish them much luck and we really hope that they will coming back to us in Scandinavia. The boys left a note for us: Note from RanestRane
