Barry McGuire und John York in Eppstein...
So ist das, wenn Legenden die Bühne betreten: es wird immer eine Reise in die Vergangenheit. Musik ist da ein ganz besonderes Transportmittel - und hier stehen zwei, die das Publikum zu einer solchen Reise einladen. Zwei ältere Herren mit einer Botschaft im Gepäck: wir sind aus der 60er Generation und das ist unsere Musik. "Eve Of Destruction" - Vietnamkrieg, Rassentrennung und der Kalte Krieg, das war die Stimmung am "Vorabend der Vernichtung" in den USA. Und Beginn der Auflehnung, die Lieder waren die Anwort auf die Politik. Für Barry McGuire nicht Protest, sondern Analyse der Krankheit seines Landes. "You don't believe in war, but what's that gun you're totin?" Am Ende schließt sich der Kreis mit dem Lied "In My Life" - ein Tribut an John Lennon und Paul McCartney.
The concert back to the 60s
That's what happens when legends enter the stage: it's always a journey into the past. Music is a very special way of transportation - and here are two who invite the audience to such a trip. Two elder gentlemen with a message in their luggage: we come from the 60s generation and this is our music. "Eve Of Destruction" - Vietnam War, racial segregation and the Cold War, that was the mood on the "eve of destruction" in the United States. And the beginning of the rebellion, the songs were the answer to the policy. For Barry McGuire no protest, but analysis of the disease in his country. "You do not believe in war, but what's that gun you're totin?" At the end, the circle closes with the song "In My Life" - a tribute to John Lennon and Paul McCartney.
