My concert report: Blind Channel – Sick & Dangerous European Tour 2022 – München (05.09.2022)

So I decided to just do another concert report for munich, because it was a really amazing concert. And I really want to do this for me to remember the night aswell. (And I need to do something to distract my brain)

So as I mentioned in a previous post I took my dad to this show. He was with me at my first rock show in munich aswell (Black Veil Brides – The Church of the Wild Ones Tour 2013) and for me this felt kind of special. Sadly he wasn’t to happy about the idea at first, but I actually managed to convince him to come. We spent the three hour drive to the venue just talking about random stuff.

We were their at 5.30 in the afternoon/evening. My dad went to go do something to pass the time till the doors open since he wanted to stand in the back either way, while I joined the waiting fans. I didn’t find anyone to talk to this time, so the wait was really awkward for me. At 6 p.m they opened this front gate and let people in. Some of the fans (including me) weren’t sure if this was meant only for VIP people so we kind of stuck back and then lost our previous places in the queue inside the venue but before the concert hall entrance. (It was a cool but strange place I have to say) While we were waiting there the guys from Oceans did sports right next to us which was kind of a strange situation since I feel like no one really knew how to act. No one actually talked to them though, which was nice on one side (because they were doing their stuff there) but also strange because there were so many people and no one said anything to them. While waiting there they passed me quite a few times to go back to their backstage area, and Mikko did aswell. I actually got a thank you from the singer of Oceans because whenever I saw someone wanted to walk through the crowd there (and I kind of stood in the best place to do that) I always took a few steps back immediately to let them pass.

The doors opened a few minutes past 7. My original plan was to stand somewhere in the back, since I actually didn’t want to stand somewhere in the middle of the crowd and only wanted to enjoy the night either way. But when i got in I saw this area at Ollis side of the stage which was a step higher (perfect for short me) and there was this pillar thing to lean against (which I actually needed). And it wasn’t to far from the stage. So the perfect place to enjoy the show really. While waiting for Oceans to start I saw my dad talking to the merch guy. I actually send him on a mission to get me the hoodie with their logo on it and the breakdowns for breakfast t-shirt. (I got the tour shirt at the show on sunday aswell) He said they had a really nice short conversation about his Judas Priest tshirt.

Then Oceans started… I actually could focus completely on their music that night, and fell in love with „If There’s A God She Has Abandoned Us“. I really liked their music in general and will definitely check out more of their stuff now for sure. I also got the information that apparently their singer originally comes from the city that I study in right now, and that is pretty close to my hometown aswell. Which is pretty cool.

Then after a break Lost Society started. I mean they already had me fall in love with them on Sunday, but it was so cool to get a different perspective of the performance. I just let myself enjoy their music and was kind of shocked when he suddenly appeared on the bar thing behind me and then the piller thing on the other side of the venue since I actually couldn’t follow him with my eyes in the crowd. I filmed that bit of him on the pillar with people jumping aswell without jumping myself this time, since I actually had to save my energy (that was low barely two hours of sleep and a already crazy concert the night before to begin with) and was already sweating then.

After Lost Society while waiting for Blind Channel my dad texted me completely shocked about how cool those two bands were already. And I was kind of smug not gonna lie about that... But also seriously curious about what he would say about BC later.

And then BC came on. I don’t think I have to mention how amazing their performance was again. I actually sung/screamed along for every song (just managed to control myself for the few things I filmed but even failed there sometimes), I jumped when they asked us too every time, and just let my body move however it wanted to the music. There were so many good moments, like the timebomb thing with Joonas and Niko, them constantly running into each other (which was btw commented on by someone on sunday aswell), Joonas saying „Prost“ and then pouring water on his own head, … And the crowd was so amazing, they were so into it. At least from my perspective.

After BC left I was sweating like crazy, my voice was almost nonexistent, but I was just so happy. I actually thought about talking to some of the guys from the other bands and maybe asking for a picture but I was sweating so much, and probably looking so bad that I didn’t do it. I didn’t want them to be bothered by me. But the night was perfect, even without this, so I really don’t mind.

And what can I say, I made my dad a BC fan… I mean I hoped he would like them, but I seriously didn’t think he would like them so much. So the whole way back we talked about BC and I asked him some questions because I was just curious about what someone who just experienced BC for the first time thought about them. And he asked me questions about them as well, like their history as a band, how they make their music, … I asked him who his favorites were, to which he replied the Olli and Tommi (he actually didn’t know their names but described who he meant by their instruments or hair color for Joel and Niko) but he had something good to say about each one of them. He was also impressed by how well Niko and Joel can sing, and how good they sound together. I asked him who he thought was the oldest and the youngest band member aswell. He guessed Aleksi (correctly) to be the youngest, but actually thought Niko is the oldest. What I dont understand btw is how he didn’t recognize Dark Side. He was actually the one getting me into BC by commenting how shocked he was about an italien rock act winning Eurovision (which lead to me being curious and discovering them through a Maneskin ESC interview) and he watched the final.

So the Blind Channel concert in munich was definitely one of my best concert nights ever, and munich is now the city with the special concerts for me…

Some random facts in the end…

…during tyftp I kind of put my whole soul into the „Success, trophies, reasons break you, watches you closely, people hate you“ part and the girl next to me suddenly looked at me and grinned. I actually put my whole being into every song I think, but that one just felt extra special I guess.

…Niko’s rap hands are kind of rubbing off on me. I would seriously be embarrassed if I saw a video of myself during that concert.

...What Joel wrote in his instagram story that night about their dream to get all the broken souls together and screaming our lungs out from all the pain inside really got to me. I really felt that that night. And it definitely fit me, I am a broken soul and sung/screamed my lung out that night for sure.

…I kind of loved the mosh pits, or watching them at least. Wouldn’t dare to go into one myself though.

…Last but not least I have to mention having gum with me at concerts and some Dextro Energy (Traubenzucker) seriously helps me with dizziness. (I almost fainted at a concert in 2018 and have been worried about that happening again ever since, and there were actually a few times I felt kind of dizzy after that. And those two things really seem to work for me)
