Theater Des Westens Concerts

I was at the Air concert last weekend. The place was bewitching and the acoustic astonishing. I appreciated that we were free to go almost everywhere in the building and that we could keep the beer glass. Such a priceless memory! Under the stage the weather felt a bit tropical, maybe it was due to my excitement! And I did not know yet that I would meet my favorite rock stars outside of the venue… The staff was competent, accommodating, soft-hearted, unselfish and gentle. PS: If the queue for the beer is too long down there go on the upper floors!!!

The location is beyond beautiful. And the staff was friendly (except at the door). Unfortunately, there were a lot of things that made an evening that was supposed to be beautiful, really hard to enjoy. The queuing at bars was ridiculously long and not enough people were working there. By the time it was our turn to order, we were told we can't take the glasses inside the theater, which is understandable. So, we ordered four plastic cups of white wine and were told there was no more white wine left... Then we ordered beer, but there were only two plastic cups left (that we had to share with four people). Ah yeah, and we had to pay to use the plastic cups (no Pfand). As we reached the doors to enter the concert hall, we were told by security, they had to ask their supervisors to open the door (first act), so we had to wait with plenty of people outside until someone came to open the door. After a while we got in and saw some people sitting inside on our seats with glasses (the staff had told them to sit on our seats even though they were supposed to be seated on the other side). One speaker on top was not working at all and it was extremely hot inside. Kind of ruined the experience even though Sampha is one of my favorite artists.

Really bad organization yesterday in Trickys Venue, still in the middle of the show the people was searching for the seats, I order a couple of drinks (5€ for a Limonade) and I say to the girl in a Bar that the drinks aren’t cold enough but she doesn’t understand me. Then TRICKYs Concert I was dissatisfied, the sound was ok, but nobody listened Tricky at all, someone screamed “We can’t hear you” two times and if you whisper and the microphone doesn’t work properly…what a pity coz the place is really nice, ended!!

Saw Air here and the stage, lights and acoustics were just brilliant.

Incredible venue, great sound. But the bar was just ok
