Last Saturday night Bavarian radio station Bayern2 braodcasted a Robert Forster lounge concert which is still available for streaming ... I don’t know how long, usually the Bayern2 Nachtmix radio broadcasts are available for one week only. Here you can re-listen Robert’s lounge concert: http://bit.ly/RobertForsterLoungeConcert Robert played seven own songs incl. a new one as well as three Go-Betweens songs. In addition, he performed three cover versions incl. David Bowie, Bruce Springsteen and Sparifankal (a Bavarian/Munich band, which started playing shows in 1972; Sparifankal is a Bavarian expression and means devil). Robert was supported by his wife Karen Bäumler, Luke (band-member) and the Forster Family Singers SETLIST 1. Remain (RF - Inferno, 2019) 2. Let Me Imagine You (RF - Songs To Play, 2015) 3.

Excellent Bowie cover, some rousing Bavaria and all the inter-song chat in German too  | ||

I like the Forsterisation of the Bowie song, the original is so swamped in soulfulness you can hardly sense its bones. And the German song is great fun. He sounds a bit on the hoarse side, but it's a nice choice of material. I can't work out who the new song is about, unless it's not a well-known figure. | ||

Love that Sparifankal cover, that has to be released as a b-side or similar! | ||

I finally got to this, thankfully before it was too late. Louis must be the singer on the Sparifankal song, unless there's another Forster son? Love the cicada backing. In "The Length and Breadth of a Life" is the line "she lived in Glasgow, she lived in Brno"? "Fortress" comes into its own here. It's nice to hear "Spirit of a Vampyre." Thanks for posting this link! | ||
