Yesterday Mando Diao rocked the Palladium in Cologne, Germany, with unbelievable energy, charm and a great show.

The concert hall wasn't packed to burst - and it could have been as the tickets had sold out over two months ago - which made the show even more personal and enjoyable.

We got treated to the debut of 'Gloria' and a great playlist made up of a mix of old and new songs.'Dance with Somebody' rocked the obligatory first encore along with 'Long before Rock'n'Roll' ("Long before Mando Diao!"), 'TV and Me', 'God Knows' and 'Down in The Past' - the second time the guys came back out after we'd screamed our throats raw, they played 'Leave My Fire' and 'You've Been on My Mind'. Needless to say that at this point in time the fans were just as tired as the band, but everyone held on and cheered and screamed admirably after a decidedly bad start of concert with a mosh pit and a lot of unwilling participants. The crowning conclusion of things was both singers coming down from the stage, going around saying "Thank you" and just touching hands.
Bonding anyone?

Writing this, I'm listening to the concert all over again on my computer through the concert-data-stick purchased right after the concert. It cost 20€, but it is totally worth the price as the quality is good and the encore is downloadable on 'concert-online.com' for free with the code that comes with the usb drive.

Thank you, Mando Diao!!!♡

I'll go, save up money for the next concert!
