Seeler and Speer shook up all the rumors of a breakup in Vienna

Big snow and winter chaos across Austria. But at least it was hot in the Stadthalle on Saturday: After a 22-month break in Vienna – they were last on the Vienna stage with the “Red Bull Symphonic” at the Konzerthaus last February – Seiler and Speer finally perform “Home Game” again “. For 13,000 fans! Austria’s largest hall was sold out for the third time after 2016 and 2019. Austropop concert of the year. With a little start-up time and patience too: after a very ambitious initial program with Thousand Roses and Da Rocka Und Da Waitla, the successful duo stormed the Stadthalle stage just after 9pm. But with absolute full throttle width!

From the opener “Bonnie and Clyde”, which has confetti cannons lit, to the finale “Soits leben” and the obligatory noisemaker “Maunchmoi”, Christopher Sellers and Bernhard Speer put on a bravura hit and fireworks display. Accompanied by games of smoke and fire worthy of Rammstein, they rocked confidently through numerous solo outings – from Herr Speer’s hit song “Someway” and his TV show “Monte Grillo Club” to Seiler’s projects with AUT of ORDA or Ernst Molden – again and again bringing back break-up rumors. “With us you should be embarrassed now if you can do more than just one thing.” As proof of this, the singles “Lights Down” (Seila) and “Our Songs” (Herr Speer) were also performed. Good surprise.

After early sing-along hymns like “Principessa” or “Herr Inspector” and funny announcements like “We have a lot of star guests with us today. That is you: the Prisoners’ Choir of Vienna” or “Frau Holle is definitely not at the AMS today. She’s working special shifts” slowed down. The pace with the Vienna premiere of “Waun da Wind goes” – but only for a short time: “Ob und zua” was accompanied by the delighted audience with the obligatory shouts of “Gitti” and Seiler was emotional during “Weus a Mensch bist”: “Our black tour bus looks “It’s like a hearse from the outside and you often ask yourself why you’re doing this, but on days like this, when you feel like you’re in the midst of all the nonsense of artificial intelligence and the Internet, you know why you’re doing this to yourself.” He was also celebrated for that. And with “Alaa Bin” also with a sea of ​​lights.

After the rare round of “The Last Snow,” with snow falling from the roof of the town hall and the “Hödn” dedicated to “the fighters Sandra and Iris,” the encore was followed by the reasonable question “Do you really want me to hear that?” “Finally ‘Ham Comst.’” In an XXL-sized version containing extended text passages such as “I have family in Vienna and they are all here today” and even excerpts from “Last Christmas.” Then the entire city council took out their mobile phones.
