Die Goldenen Zitronen

10.12.08 Ringlokschuppen, Mülheim

Hey, kühles Hemd
Ah, du kennst die?
Ja irgendwie, der Sänger geht immer in den selben Lebensmittelladen wie ich
Echt, das ist kühl.
Du magst also auch Musik, was?
Ja ich liebe Musik
Auf was für Musik stehst du?
Alle Sorten
Also ich mag Easy-Listening
Ja, ich auch, Easy-Listening ist echt geil
Wohnst du hier in der Gegend
Ja, praktisch um die Ecke, ist ne gute Gegend zu wohnen
Ich mag es
Ich auch
(lyrics from 0:30, gleiches Ambiente)

Die Goldenen Zitronen have transformed from their early fun punk to avantgarde trash to become one of the most intellectual and political and also culturally recognized bands from Germany.
But being featured in the feuilleton of the magazines means that you're drawing different audiences than playing to a crowd of punks. Even after nearly 25 years of making music Die Goldenen Zitronen still have enough energy to rock but the crowd sometimes seems to be too sophisticated to respond to that and also get going. It seems that the Zitronen now attract some of the people they're mocking in their classic and my favourite 0:30, gleiches Ambiente.
The show in Mülheim made no difference.as the audience was quite reluctant and only warmed up to the end of the set. But it was still an enjoyable evening though.
