Lohfelden. An authentic show by musicians who have accompanied one of Germany’s most successful bands: The Pur cover band “Abenteuerland” thrilled more than 250 attendees at the St. Nicholas concert at the Löwenhof.
The band, led by lead singer Carsten Heinze, is from Braunschweig. They play all the big hits that made Pur famous. True Pur fans can sing along to the lyrics of “Hör gut zu,” “Ich hab dich lieb,” and “Lena” in their sleep anyway. It didn’t take long before Carsten Heinze brought numerous female fans up on stage to sing the love song “Prinzessin” together with them. When he then mingled with the audience, everyone at the Löwenhof was finally in full swing.
“They’re very close to the original,” said 44-year-old insurance agent Michaela Schäfer from Lohfelden, who had come “without high expectations” but was thrilled by the cover band’s performance. Of course, over the course of the evening, the band took its audience on a journey to “Abenteuerland,” made their “Funkenperlenaugen” sparkle, and—musically speaking—pulled out all the stops with the legendary song “Indianer.” The concert turned more and more into a happening, and the dance floor was packed to the brim. Whether you like Pur’s songs or not, the audience at the Löwenhof—which included a surprisingly large number of young people—enjoyed the music.
