there are many. there are many it's a. make up your own thing to. make for minds.

every day at noon all good music feels michael's church and humble. from the sand. and a book can control several hours. long before there were concert halls or oprah houses music was played in churches including in the mission as people from home walk call their church for centuries this was the 1st symbol of the port city that's a lost soul from a far. the church organs of sun michael's this is where our musical journey through begins this city has a rich musical history and an exciting present i will take you to the many clubs across the city and to many other places. i'll also

be turning into an avatar to attend a concert. i'll take a tour through the humble district office on probably one of the beatles polished their skills. and i visit the molotov one of the most famous claps invent it. my journey takes me from the old landmark the mission to the new landmark there phil armani the concert called by the river elbe or opened in 2017. we filmed in march 2020 before the corona lockdown so i was able to fulfill a long held wish to visit tom work. as you can see from the brick base this was once a warehouse it became a concert hall with this spectacular glass structure. morphed escalator carries you

inside at 82 meters it's the longest in europe. just. like all visitors i started with a tour of the viewing platform there plus. this city and port stretched out below me. who want. to use. their money offers guided tours to visit us press spokesman tim short shorts media building. swiss architects have stock in their mobile created unusual sight lines in the stairwell and for you. and there is a story behind the shape of the balconies as well. is. there something fish like about them like

a fish tale. the architects also call them tuning folks who choose not to be a musical reference. here we are in the main concert hall with 2100 seats. behind us as the so-called white skin it's important for the acoustics the. covets is reflects the sound around the whole. there's. many love the sound here but some dollars. there are a few who feel for some to be too analytical come on. the vienna philharmonic for example could probably play in the antarctic and still produce a warm sound. so i always think it's not about the room but rather the way music

is played and how people perceive it. in the beginning it was almost impossible to get tickets because everyone wanted to see the building. these days it's the musicians and the program that people come for. now you can buy tickets for the great concert hall quite easily because last minute yarmulke yes even last minute though that's still a somewhat risky business. on the other hand there are always allotments or tickets that are returned not on press to kids houston i see it every night at the box office if your stand there trying their luck and are thrilled to get a ticket. i'm lucky the vienna philharmonic will be performing in hamburg tonight i will her sing before the concert.

fastest it should. be even during the encore the audience just conquer get enough. this is so poor and soul it suits your and so reels. this enjoyment of music people always ask what kind of a city is hamburg but i have to say hamburg some musical city. i feel like i've traveled back in time to the baroque period this street is one of the fuel that were rebuilt after the 2nd world war it's worth the composers potter is located and commemorates great names of homeworks musical history. felix and fannie mendel son batali. your highness poems. and of course stuff milo.

annoyed about belts out oh so let me you. know put cine but it is italian just like the n.t. puss to. mean well soprano and mean is shaping does was . then arias from put genie's opera tosca presented while tossing pizza god. was. a short instrumental interlude gives the scene is just enough time to serve the 100 made pizza. serving as seen on chef and wakes up in the same night takes talent. comes 2 out of 2 2 2 was the opera last is bringing new life to the old ferry

i also see the band driving room playing here with the titanic destroying the world . where he comes off. the wall. falling all it was an amazing experience. reality can't recreate the feeling of being at a live concert but it can take you to a completely different day mission. to. 'd 'd 'd the. 'd beatles music and of a pop band played by stephanie hempel she always has a ukulele with her when she is showing beatles fans there some polish district. 'd

it was here that the beatles gave their very 1st performance and hamburg in 1967 they were complete amateurs a 4th choice band only because 3 other bands from liverpool couldn't make it with a peaceful center hamburg as a quick fix. i have photos with me all of them still had elvis hairdos. and murmur often goes through the group when i show them this pic 18 year old cool . then we have 17 year old george harrison from humvee here do i really like this photo because folks always said he was the youngest with the biggest hair to move you to hers the taller they played the in draft 3 months from 7 pm to 5 am they had composed music yes so they played rock'n'roll songs from the fifty's. and they

lived here. this used to be a movie theater and the old bundy's cinema was the beatles 1st residence. they lived in the little rooms without windows and. they were here until the end of november so it was really cold. they had to bathe in the men's room. but. they quickly gave this place the nickname the black hole of calcutta. eventually pull the clocks and the accommodation got better after the indra the beatles played for 50 nights because like a lot of economic groups and. they performed for sale is rock isn't gangsters because rock n roll game to hamburg with the seafarers back then ships lay of islam much longer and sailors came from around the world and americans and scandinavians wanted live music rock'n'roll because they weren't any good rock bands and hand so they brought

them over from england and bands from liverpool. this is where the beatles met star correlate george from pete best drummer. next we head to the legendary stock club the venue burned down in b.h. but a block still lists all the big names who performed here and. guess who played the opening and 1962 that's right the beatles by then they were already wearing suits and had their iconic mop top here at. the bus stop what it hamburg mean for the beatles started their fifties to beatles on the world's most renowned beatle author mark lewis and put it bluntly no hamburg no beatles they performed more here than anywhere else playing for over 1200 hours in the clubs and honing their crowds here they became a professional live band here they met ringo starr the warden here in the choir
