So glad to hear from all of you !!!  I think I could write a book about my emotions during this evening - but I'm afraid that would be a little bit boring for you  All your reviews are so great and emotional and they really describe my feelings.
Rob you're so right with the thing about Jays little "political speech" - I was also very glad about it and I could share his opinion in every way !!
I love the pix Moni - thank you for that!!!

Funkie Junkie and his friend Speed Freak:
mrsmoon, me and Eric:
That was a funny story, we checked into our hotel, the reception guy (in Jays age) asked about out plans in town...he had never heard of a band Jamiroquai before. 15 Minutes later he told us, that another fan of this group had checked into his hotel. He flew all the way from Sweden to watch that band. Think at this point he already thought, we are all quite mad. And he warned us, when we asked him to contact that Swedish fan: "I must say ladies, he came with a very strange hat." So that's how we met Eric, we all had to laugh a lot.
After the show still in front of stage:

First online media review by "Westdeutsche Zeitung":
KULTUR in DÜSSELDORF
Frontmann Jay Kay liebt auch bei Konzerten exzentrische Hüte.
Jamiroquai auf explosiver Sternenreise
Die britische Band stellte in der Philipshalle ihr sechstes Album "Dynamite" vor. Frontmann Jay Kay kommentierte die politische Lage der Nation.
Düsseldorf. Jamiroquai machen ihren Fans Beine. Auf einzigartige Weise recycelte "Emergency on Planet Earth", das Debüt-Album der britischen Band, 1993 Disco-Rhythmen der 70er Jahre gemixt mit Ethno-Elementen und dem Gesang von Frontmann Jay Kay. Die Musiker um den heute 35-Jährigen, der schnelle Autos aus italienischen Edelschmieden und auffällige Kopfbedeckungen liebt, wechselten. Die Musik jedoch blieb unverwechselbar.
Im Juni erschien "Dynamite", das sechste Album von Jamiroquai, und höchstexplosiv war auch die Show, die Kay und seine Crew am Dienstagabend in der fast ausverkauften Philipshalle boten. "Canned Heat" hieß der erste Titel, und "konservierte Hitze" hat Kay auch in seinen Schuhsohlen.
Wie ein Derwisch tanzte er trotz Handverletzung über die Bühne, drehte Pirouetten und streckte die Arme durch die Luft wie ein Schutzmann, der den Verkehr regelt. Schnell war da die Dreiviertelstunde Verspätung vergessen, mit der das Konzert begonnen hatte.
Das Programm bot eine gelungene Mischung zwischen älteren und aktuellen Stücken, "Space Cowboy" war genau so auf der Setliste vertreten wie "Cosmic Girl", "Love Foolosophy" oder der aktuelle Hit "Seven Days in sunny June". Dabei konnte Kay sich auf seine versierte Band verlassen. Rob Harris an der Gitarre und Paul Turner am Bass sorgten für viele überraschende Soli, Matt Johnson an den Keyboards für wunderschöne Harmonien.
Um den nötigen Rhythmus der vielen schnelleren Songs kümmerten sich Derrick McKenzie an den Drums und Sola Akingbola an der Percussion. Lorraine McIntosh, Hazel Fernandez und Sam Smith unterstützten den Sänger im Background. Da klang kein einziges Stück wie sein Studio-Pendant, sondern wurde fantasievoll zu einem eigenen Musik-Universum verwandelt.
Kay, der nach eigenen Angaben den wahren "Funk" seiner Musik spürt, wenn er daheim auf seinem Landsitz in Buckinghamshire Biogemüse züchtet, plauderte zwischendurch aufgeräumt über Politik. Deutschland gehe es mit Angela Merkel bald wie England unter Maggie Thatcher, hahaha, doch nun gebe es dort ja Tony Blair, und das sei auch nicht viel besser.
Als Einleitung zu "Don`t give Hate a Chance" kam er auf den Terrorismus zu sprechen, der die Verwundbarkeit offener Gesellschaften ausnutze. Doch auch der Krieg wie die USA ihn führten, sei da keine Lösung. Seine Fans begrüßten jedes Statement mit frenetischem Jubel.
Aufregend futuristisch ausgeleuchtete war die Bühne, die mal wie bei "Cosmic girl" an eine Sternenreise, dann wiederum wie bei dem Endtitel "Deeper Underground" an eine grüne Urwaldhölle, erinnerte. Verständlich, dass bei so einem gelungenen Auftritt der Wunsch vieler Jamiroquai-Fans nach einem Live-Album lauter wird.

Here is just a short and quick translation, got no dictionary here...hell I am at office but not able to work
Jamiroquai on explosive star trip
The british band presented their sixth album "Dynamite" at the Philippshalle. Frontman Jay Kay gave comments about the political state of the nation:
Düsseldorf: Jamiroquai gets their fans to move. In a unique way "Emergency of planet earth", the first album of the british band recycled in 1993 Disco beats of the 70th mixed with Ethno elements and the voice of frontman Jay Kay. The musicians around the 35 years old, who loves fast expensive italian cars and outstanding hatgear, changed. But the music stayed unique.
In June "Dynamite" the sixth album of Jamiroquai was released and as well explosive was the show , that Jay Kay and his Crew offered at Tuesday evening in the nearly sold out Philippshalle. "Canned heat" was the first title and Jay Kay really had "canned heat" in his shoes.
Like a maniac he danced around stage although he was injured at his hand. He made Pirouettes and stretched out his arms in the air, like a policeman guiding the traffic. Soon the 45 minutes delay of concert start was forgotten.
The programm offered a well chosen mix of older and newer songs, "Space Cowboy" was on the setlist as well as "Cosmic Girl", "Love Foolosophy" or the actual hit "Seven Days in Sunny June". And Jay could rely on his professional band. Rob Harris on guitar and Paul Turner on bass gave many astonishing solo parts, Matt Johnson on keyboards for wonderful harmonies.
Derrick McKenzie on drums and Sola Akingbola on percussion provided the needed rhythms for the faster songs. Lorraine McIntosh, Hazel Fernandez and Sam Smith supported the band background. Not one song sounded like a studio version, but was transported with fantasy into a unique music universum.
Kay, who in his own words feels the real "Funk" of his music, when he is at home in his Buckinghamshire mansion, growing natural vegetables, talks in between relaxed about politics. Germany would be with Angela Merkel like Britain with Maggie Thatcher, hahaha, but now they have Tony Blair, but that would not be much better.
As Intro to "Don't give hate a chance" he talked about terrorism, that uses the vulnerability of open societies for its advantage. And the war like the USA is doing, is no solution. His fans agreed to each of his statements with frenetic applause.
The stage was excitingly futuristic lighted, during "Cosmic Girl" like in a star trip, then at the end with "Deeper Underground" reminding to a green forest hell.
It is understandable that with such a fantastic concert, the wish of the Jamiroquai-fans for a Live Album gets louder.
