The second Ark-live we attented within a week. The live on 10/3 was so lovely we just had to see them again, so we drove to Munich five days later. Gladly, my holidays had already begun, so we could enjoy the love to its fullest. (I would've been pretty dead if I had had to attend school on Tuesday, because the live ended at around 0.30am and we had a long way home)

So, we finally arrived in Munich - a lot later than planned - which is the reason why we only stopped at McD to eat and went right to the Club afterwards. The location had been changed to another venue; luckily we knew early enough.
Some people were already waiting in line, 50 maybe.. nothing dramatic. I think 300ppl would have sold out the club anyway.
The venue was even smaller than Prime Club.

Well nevertheless it took some time to get in and we had to wait for some time: obviously they had time-managing problems as well xD
The whole thing started exactly one hour later than in Cologne, at 9.30pm.. with Sunflower Caravan, the opener act, once again. I didn't feel that great at that time (because of all the smoke in the club =/ badasses.) so I sat down on the floor, like some other girls did. Sunflower Caravan played the exact same set as on 10/3 and bored me a lot but somehow we got through and then, finally The Ark came on stage, yay!
With all the excitement and adrenalin pumping through my veins I felt a lot better in an instant and my dear and I danced, cheered and sang along a lot for the next few hours.

The live was great, they played a slightly different setlist so we got to hear some other songs, which I thought was great~ Sadly the fans weren't as energetic as the ones in Cologne and The Ark didn't do as much stagetalk =/ but I enjoyed it pretty much anyway. Watching Ola live is a lot of fun.. he's just too crazy & adorable.
We stood around 3rd row between Ola and Oscar and caught attention quite often |D aww... they're just lovely. I threw a lot of hearts and Oscar saw one of them, grinned, winked at me and blew me a kiss (for which I got an ellbow in the rips from ma dear... xDD)
The setlist was great! Of course they played Prayer for the weekend and other songs from that album, I pathologize, This piece of poetry is meant to do harm and such... and Ola had a lot of fun running around, going crazy and, of course, nearly setting the whole venue on fire with his lighter+hairspray, lol.
I love them so much ♥
We gave our all when he announced their last song since it was clear we wouldn't be able to see them in a long time (since Ola participates in Jesus Crist Super Star as.. Jesus ;D) and therefore I was pretty dead after they left the stage.
We left 59:1 with mixed feelings.. It was a great show but the thought of not being able to see them for at least a year really made us sad.

Of course there wasn't an aftershowparty for this show which got us even more depressed, since we couldn't go to the one on 10/3 =/ so we left Munich at around 1am, listening to The Ark all the time on our way back home.

I hope we'll be able to see them again soon.. if not 2008, then 2009 for sure. Pretty please. The Ark are a great liveband and I can't wait to see them live again =3

We went to Cologne on Wednesday since we wanted to watch The Ark @ Prime Club and because I wanted to go and have a look at the Kölner Dom as well we left home around 12.
Finding Cologne wasn't that much of a problem... but finding the club sure was.
It took us over an hour because Cologne is the most freaking construction site I have ever seen in my life.
But in the end we found a parking lot around 100m from the club~

When we checked out where the club exactly was we met some girls from Sweden who went all the way to join The Ark which is something I'd like to do once in my life, too ;___; moneymoneymoney Xx;

Well, we decided to go to the Dom next where we made some photos (outside) and quickly watched the inside (with pasu), too, but it wasn't that gorgeous... maybe it's because I was in so many churches and stuff in Rome that it's nothing special for me xD

(no pictures because they're on yama's PC ;o;)


Later on we met with pasu and went eating *____* before we got back to the car to put his stuff in it. Because it was a holiday (german reunion, as you all know =D) we only went window shopping in Cologne (but I certainly want to come back one day 'cause you can do great shopping there *__*;) until we got back to the club at around 7pm.

At 9pm it started..
Prime Club is a cute little live house, remembered me of the japanese ones quite a lot. But not a proper place for a visual kei concert in Germany since all the freaking stupid little fangirls would run onto the stage (since there is a little way up where the musicans and staffmember went up and down.)..
But it's quite nice since you are very close to the band - and that's quite a great assumption for a glamrock live x3

Sunflower Caravan (the opener act) wasn't that bad, although I kinda missed a vocal (I'm not that much into instrumentals) and if one of the guys hadn't totally freaked out in the end... ah well. They were okay it could've been much worse (like it was with D'espairs Ray).

But then The Ark came on stage finally and it was just... bombastic.
Really.
The atmossphere was so great with all the fans around us singing and dancing to the songs, having fun and the band was enjoying it so much as well.
Ola's a really good singer and performer, has such a nice voice and is very cute.. sexy, too.
It was so much fun watching him and singing along..
Although it wasn't the best live I ever went to I enjoyed it pretty much and I'm looking forward to Monday, when we'll drive to Munich and watch them again <3

They played a lot of songs, my favourite song "Let your body decide" (which features my layout as well) included and so many more that I can't list all of them.. but one of the highlights was "One of us is gonna die young" as a song dedicated to the reunification |D (which he himself had to admit was his "most stupid idea" he ever had xD) and performing "I've been looking for Freedom" which was the song David Hasslehoff sang for "not Western or Eastern Germany but for whole Germany!" and we had a lot of fun xD
The stagetalk was hilarious anyway.. Ola's just too cool.
"This is a song about suicide and hairspray" - "Tonight is the hugest audience we've ever played for which means we have to be the greatest band in the world!" - "Yesterday we played in Paris and they decided to name us "The Ark of Triumph" and the real Arc of Triumpf now is known as "Arc of quite okay doing"... yah, well. |D you see what I mean, right?

And they had great interaction with the fans... in that particular point it was the greatest concert I ever went to.
Ola included the audience so much.. he even walked through the fans or climbed on the shoulders of some to be nearer to the fans.

To quote my dear:
"They played a splendid encore with Ola asking what songs were missing(a lot, Ola, a lot! ;3;) and singing them a capella.. one heck of a voice *__* In the end, they promised to come again, if we just asked them to (it was their fourth time already at Prime Club, go figure), building the promise on "Calleth you Cometh I".. really really sweet!"

I'm just hooked... <3!! Can't wait to see them again..
Sadly we couldn't join the after-show-party because I had to go to school on Thursday morning ;o; but we'll surely go if there's one in Munich as well <3
