Gered Mankowitz - The Rolling Stones - Photos 1965-67 at Berlin Rock Photo Gallery = ENergyVlog

On 10th november 2006 Schwarzkopf & Schwarzkopf publishers Berlin presented their latest book "The Rolling Stones, Gered Mankowitz, Photos 1965-67" at the Berlin Rock Photo Gallery.

Phototographer Gered Mankowitz, being 19 years old back then, had the chance to tour with the Rolling Stones on their first big tour of the USA back in 1965. His book features pictures from a period when the Stones weren't the biggest Rock'n'Roll band of all times yet, but some group of musicians who sometimes had to wait for their performance in some smelly locker room of some sports arena.

Gered Mankowitz happened to capture some very rare moments which make this photographic documentary some must have for every Rolling Stones fan. For more info check out the website (link)

Our video captures some moments of the opening night on november the 10th which saw Gered Mankowitz as special guest, signing his book and telling some interesting stories from back in the days.

Nitzer Ebb over Berlin = ENergyVlog

Yesterday night, the 4th of november 2006, saw the return of the giants of EBM (Electronic Body Music) - Nitzer Ebb - the masters of Industrial music.

They had a fabulous comeback at the Columbia Club over here in Berlin for their Body of Work tour accompanied by Terrence Fixmer who did one of his fabulous techno sets and Motor who rocked the house in their northern style. After Terrence and Motor had left stage it was time for the masters who electrified the audience from the first second. Douglas McCarthy moving across the stage constantly without a pause which let's you get the impression that Nitzer Ebb are not finished yet and that we might have the chance to see fresh releases in the future.

I could go on talking for hours about this unique experience, about the macs they had on stage and about T.Raumschmiere in the audience - but you better see for yourself...

Warning: If you're not used to this kind of music - better start at a low volume...
