Yogi Lang | 4 Songs Live

Concerts by Yogi Lang are rare. Not with RPWL of course, because with his main band the singer, keyboardist and producer is touring frequently and regularly. So the fans were all the more delighted that last November they had the chance to get a little impression of Yogi Lang’s current solo album “A Way Out Of Here” live on stage for five concerts – finally. The whole thing took place as an opener as part of the second part of the RPWL “Tales From Outer Space” tour.
The recording happened at “De Cacaofabriek” in Helmond, the Netherlands – and for Yogi Lang already for the second time. Because it was this wonderful concert hall where RPWL bravely interpreted and captured the reincarnation of Pink Floyd’s “The Man And The Journey” for a live CD and DVD in 2017.
The line-up by Yogi Lang’s band shows how much RPWL is a family: because in addition to his ancestral guitarist Torsten Weber, RPWL members Marc Turiaux on the drums, Markus Jehle on the keyboards and Kalle Wallner were exceptionally experienced this time on the bass . This wonderful line-up was complemented by the two exceptional singers Caroline von Brünken and Bine Heller.
Even if the set consisted of only about 30 minutes and four songs, you could feel the joy of playing and the enthusiasm of all musicians for the music at any time. You will be swept into the concert with a rousing version of the album opener “Move On”, followed by the incredibly groovy first single and the title track “A Way Out Of Here”. “Shine On Me” – the second single from the current studio album – creates continuous goosebumps before the final “I’ll Be There For You”, besides Torsten Weber, also shines the two singers Caroline von Brünken and Bine Heller.
Yogi Lang leads through the short but intensive program with a lot of charisma in the usual entertain manner, confidently and almost modestly. With every word and every sentence you can feel that his music is a very personal concern for him.
Music connoisseurs who appreciate modern, excellently played and produced art rock with wonderful little stories will not only love the current studio album, but also these four live songs. It’s a shame that it’s only “4 songs live”. But we hope for more.
