VOLBEAT
WACKEN OPEN AIR FESTIVAL
Wacken, Germany
August 1 , 2009

Oh yeah ! Time for Volbeat live in Wacken ! This was one of the shows I was expecting the most!

Volbeat can play in a huge festival or in a small club, their show is always explosive.

Michael Poulsen came on stage dressed as the guitar gangster he is, with a vest over a white shirt.

Of course his speeches were full of humour, making jokes about Wacken and about music.

They had a customized stage, with the cover artwork of their latest album.

As most other bands at Wacken they had a very good sound, and quite loud too.

The audience went completely mad from the first song, but even more with the second one: Radio Girl.

Volbeat surprised us with a cover song from the Misfits: Anfelf**k.
I was really glad about this, as this one happens to be one of the favourite songs of those punk rock legends!

Volbeat's setlist honoured the album Rock The Rebel / Metal The Devil, from which 7 songs were played (actually six and a half, Boa wasn't played enterely).

During The Garden’s Tale crowdsurfers came from everywhere.
This song was one of the highlights of the show, and Volbeat played an amazing and very energetic version.

The last song was We, followed by the first riffs of Slayer’s Raining Blood.

Micheal Poulsen thanked the audience at the end by saying “You’ve been Rock, You’ve been Metal, You’ve been Punk! And We’ve been Volbeeeeat!”

This show is on my top 5 of Wacken's 2009 best concerts!
