Because the guests did not fit into the hall in a corona-compliant manner, the band Pam Pam Ida gave two concerts on one day at the Jakobmayer in Dorfen.
Dorfen - "I ko heid song, wos I wui, de Leid flippn out", says a happy Andreas Eckert, singer and frontman of the band Pam Pam Ida, who presented his new album "Frei" at the weekend in the Jakobmayer Hall, right away two times - in a row.
The concert, postponed twice, was sold out, the guests would not have fit together in the hall according to the current Corona rules. The sextet spontaneously agreed to give two identical concerts in one evening. “We have never done that before,” said Eckert and thanked the fans: “Thank you for not forgetting us!” They kicked off with orchestral abundance and the first guests immediately got up, danced and sang along.
The third album came out in September last year. With the new songs, the hit list toppers stay true to their style, but add a little extra when it comes to their eclectic sound, which ranges from indie to pop to new folk music. In contrast to some of their colleagues, the sympathetic musicians from Sandersdorf in the Altmühltal shine with an exceptionally broad mix of styles and rhythmic variability. Clinking synthesizer chords, which could come from the New Wave era, are replaced by room-filling wind sounds on the trombone, horn or tuba, which in some moments remind of Haindling.
Always at the forefront and very present: Andreas Eckert, who makes the audience's bodies tremble with his soul voice, but then also comes along very gently and filigree, who can emphasize, stretch and transform the Bavarian and also before rap in the Upper Palatinate dialect or speaking chant à la Falco doesn't shy away. The lyrics are about being free, being alone, missed opportunities and forgiven love.
But not only Eckert's voice is unique. With elastic Schmidtchen-Schleicher legs, which match his 80s retro outfit in white slippers, he bounces dangerously with his knees, turns pirouettes and sometimes stretches his dearest towards the audience. He is topped only once by a dance performance by the drummer Julian Menz, who rocks the stage in complete ecstasy, tripping over instruments and clapping his hands with the fans.
The six guys are in a great mood and the audience thanks them with frenetic applause and shouts of bravo from the very first minute.
“It's a real folk festival atmosphere here,” said Eckert, delighted.
Pam had to give Pam Ida four encores before they said goodbye with "I must go".
"Forget mi ned, hiot mi please in your mind" it says there.
That will be the fans after this powerful concert evening.
