And One [CL] If the name AND ONE is mentioned in the line-up of a festival or a concert, then wild partying is guaranteed and usually when Steve Naghavi enters a stage, hell breaks loose on and in front of the stage. Songs like ‘Technomann’ or ‘Deutschmaschine’ can’t be missed out on any party and still belong to the fixed repertoire of most DJ’s but only the music excites thousands of people since many years, it’s also Steve’s “special” form of lyrics that always cause discussion amongst fans and press alike. Just remember the text of ‘Pimmelmann’. After a longer absents, amongst others caused through the events of 9/11 and their harsh consequences for Steve Naghavi, AND ONE returned in 2003 with a new album ‘Aggressor’ and three years later ‘Bodypop’ the ninth AND ONE studio album sees the light of day. AND ONE is Steve Naghavi, Chris Ruiz and Gio Van Oli.Music & Performance During the change over the stage was hidden behind a black curtain which was dropped at the first song. The stage setting was the same like at the last tour, Chris and Gio one after another behind their special keyboard cases and additional two further keyboards on the both sides. The show was started with ‘The sun always shines on TV’, a cover version of the A-HA hit, followed by ‘Stand the pain’, ‘Recover You’ and another cover version - ‘Fools’ by DEPECHE MODE. Quickly the crowd was infected by the rousing performance, Steve was running and jumping like usual, dancing in his distinctive kind and entertaining the crowd with songs and jokes. During the song ‘Timekiller’, a cover version of PROJECT PITCHFORK who performed the song themselves one hour ago at their show on the same stage, Dirk Scheuber and Peter Spilles entered the stage to the surprise of Steve and sang along, Steve welcomed them and they sang the song all together, really funny. In the second half of the show prevailed own songs and at the end of the main set, Chris Ruiz left his place behind the keyboard and took over the vocal parts for ‘Fernsehapparat’ and ‘Take some more’. Of course the crowd requested an encore which was given with three more songs and after ‘Military Fashion Show’, ‘Techno Man’ and the last single release ‘So klingt Liebe’, AND ONE finally left the stage.

Последними на основной сцене выступали And One. Пели шлягеры разных лет и исполнителей, в том числе и "Timekiller" дуэтом с Project Pitchfork. С "Virgin Superstar" ничего не сыграли. Но в целом, это было самое яркое выступление на фестивале. Потом удалось ещё посмотреть выступление Diary Of Dreams, после чего пришлось 2 часа ждать главных героев программы, выступавших "вне конкурса" - великих и ужасных Die Krupps, которе вышли на сцену уже за полночь. Символично, что я единственный раз был на концерте один, и это был концерт Die Krupps зимой 2006 года. В этот раз я снова остался без компании, ибо все разъехались после And One, дабы не пропустить последний транспорт. В конечном итоге мне так же как и в прошлый раз по тем же причинам пришлось уйти минут за 15 до конца (опять из-за того, что концерт задержали), но это не сильно омрачило впечатления от выступления отцов metal machine music. К тому же в этот раз я стоял в первом ряду.
