THE USED

Date: Tuesday, 11.08.2009
Venue: Knust, Hamburg

The Used came back to Hamburg after one year and two months. No need to say, that I new I would have to be there from the first second I saw the announcement because I really enjoyed their show last time. There was no supportband this time, which in my oppinion is pretty sad. Last year the german band „fire in the attic“ supported them, would have been nice to see a german band again. So because of that THE USED entered the stage at 9.30 pm. In the beginning Bert's voice was pretty weak as well as their performance but after some songs it got better. Quinn and Bert played some acoustic songs which were amazing. You could actually hear, that Bert is able to sing. He doesn't scream a whole lot anymore.

The crowd was with them since the first minute. When I saw THE USED last year in hamburg, one of the main thing I remembered were, that they are so close to their fans. Unfortunately this time they didn't involve the fans as much as they did the last time.

After an hour and a bit, the show was over. In conclusion a good concert but it missed something special, even though the acoustic parts were a really nice idea.

You should definitely check out "The Used - Live from the Purevolume House 2009" 3 acoustic songs which are amazing. Especially "Empty with you"
