Bligg at Bierhuebeli Bern

After I went home after the tourstart of Bligg 3 weeks ago with rather mixed feelings, I went again to the first of the both Bern concerts. And it seemed tobe due to tourstart, that I didn’t feel like the concert back then had been a too successful. At Bierhubeli it was a lot better.

The intro started and a confetti rain went over the audience. I did wonder immediately, if it was like it was in Zofingen. I got the impression, that not everything had worked there as it should. But can’t really tell. However, in Bern were few things different and better than in Zofingen. The setlist of course is the same on the whole tour and the concert didn’t take much longer than on tour start, but I felt like the whole thing was a lot more relaxed from the beginning.

There was another singer, Jessy Howe, otherwise his usual band though. Bligg bligg seemed more talkactive, pushed the audience a lot more this way. He got again a fan mobile from the front row to film a video. Just, before he started he took a more closer look at the content. Yes, who’s been more often at Bligg’s concerts thinks about twice, what they give him, as he did rummage through handbags in the past already 😉 But he even additionally recorded a voice message into one of her whatsapp groups. One should have seen the reaction of the receivers.

Even though the mixed audience was quite reserved at the beginning, the vibes were good. Also only realized after several songs, that the Bierhubeli actually wasn’t that crowded: The balcony was closed and the audience got quite a lot of space to stand in front of the stage. It was the first of two concerts and I wondered, how it was the day after. Well, it was Wednesday evening, but somehow I have believed that Bligg would easily fill Bierhubeli. But with two following shows even he seemed to have a bit difficulties with. Anyone been to the second evening in Bern? Tell about it. Bligg didn’t think it was that bad though. So it was nicely small and intimate.

Bligg created good vibes on this evening as said. And especially known hits like “Manhatten”, “Rosalie”, “Musig i dä Schwiiz” or “Mundart” also did go down well with the audience here. During the latest one shot glassed were brought to the stage like back then during “Service Publigg” tour. But it was only syrup in it 😉
During the concert Bligg took a little girl from front row off a mothers back on stage, so the mother disburden a little. The little one got the complete package: he gave her various merchandise articles. Of course there was a lot of “awww”, when she super politley and a little shy accepted the presents. She of course also was allowed to stay in the back next to Sam-B during the song and watch the spectacle close up.

During “Lah sie redä” Bligg suddendly was standing in the middle of the audience and the very last ones let themselves get into the euphoria and went along with. It’s when Bligg mentioned back on stage that he saw enough mobile phones in the audience to light them up during the following song “Füür i de Venä”. Worked well and was totally beautiful. And apparently it wouldn’t have been anything suprising, if the guitare and accordeon player would have been suddendly gone in the middle of the concert. Bligg dedicated towards the end of the concert the song “Drachentöter”, as his wife was highly pregnant at this very moment and he could have become a dad any minute. But he finished the concert. If the baby is born now?

I could get the setlist then, which Bligg even signed during the signing. It was of course handy, that there weren’t as many people as in Zofingen. You got through the signing a lot quiter so. As mentioned was the concert in Bern a lot better than in Zofingen. And in the end I just like seeing Bligg live. I hope I’ll make it to a summerfestival show, as he suits into them especially well.

Who still wants to see Bligg on “Instinkt” tour better hurrys. The dour will end next weekend with the two last shows in Solothurn.
