“Dear friends, today live at Rockpalast: The Icebreakers!“ With these words Albrecht Metzger announced the blues band of four, which the audience of the Westfalenhalle 2 in Dortmund, Germany didn’t know much about, yet on November 26th 1980. That’s why the welcome has been a little lukewarm at first, but about ten minutes later plaudits were rising: After the opener ”Sweet Home Chicago“ and ”She´s So Fine“, the “Master Of The Telecaster” entered the stage. Albert Collins was immediately attracting his fans’ attention: ”Listen Here“. Seconds after the extraordinary instrumental intro the ice melted away: An impish grin in his sweaty face the Texan in his red outfit draw his unique blue notes from his Fender guitar. Also “Cold Cold Feeling“ was an expression of Collin’s talent. With his long thin fingers and without the commonly used pick, the Iceman treats the six strings of his instrument in an inimitable manner. Also unusual was, that Albert Collins didn`t wear his guitar belt along his back, but solely around his right shoulder. This gave him more freedom to move, which he made use of, extensively. In addition to that, the very long cable gave him the possibility to go for a stroll into the audience – Collins wasn’t yet using a wireless system. At this Rockpalast concert he also left the stage to meet his fans in the crowd. Long improvisations and solos – also by his great band around saxophonist and singer A.C. Reed – are emphasizing his reputation as an experienced soloist and brilliant entertainer, evenhandedly. (Ulli Kniep)
„Liebe Freunde: Heute bei uns zu Gast im Rockpalast: The Icebreakers!“ Mit diesen Worten moderierte Albrecht Metzger am 26.11. 1980 eine vierköpfige Blues Band an, die dem Publikum in der Dortmunder Westfalenhalle 2 noch relativ fremd war. Entsprechend verhalten wirkte zunächst der Empfang, doch nach rund zehn Minuten brandete Applaus auf: Nach dem Opener „Sweet Home Chicago“ und „She´s So Fine“ betrat der „Master Of The Telecaster“ die Bühne. Albert Collins zog die Fans unmittelbar in seinen Bann: „Listen Here“. Schon nach dem fulminanten instrumentalen Intro war das Eis gebrochen: Mit ebenso verschmitztem wie verschwitztem Gesicht entlockte der Texaner in rotem Outfit seiner Fender Gitarre die für ihn typischen Blue Notes. Auch „Cold Cold Feeling“ zeugte von Collins´ Können. Mit seinen langen schlanken Fingern und ohne das sonst übliche Plektrum traktierte der „Iceman“ die sechs Saiten seines Instruments in unnachahmlicher Manier. Ungewöhnlich auch, dass Albert Collins die Gitarre nicht wie üblich am Gurt über den Rücken laufend hielt, sondern nur über dem rechten Arm trug. Das verlieh ihm mehr Bewegungsfreiheit, die er reichlich nutzte. Überdies ermöglichte das extrem lange Kabel – Collins spielte noch nicht mit einem Sender - Ausflüge ins Publikum. Im Rockpalast stieg er ebenfalls von der Bühne um sich hautnah unter seine Fans zu mischen. Lange Improvisationen und Soli - übrigens auch von seiner großartigen Band um Saxophonist und Sänger A.C. Reed - unterstrichen dabei seinen Ruf als versierter Solist und glänzender Entertainer gleichermaßen. (Ulli Kniep) |
