I should have known better, but I actually thought this would be an exiting night. Nina Hagen is an artist that, besides owning one of the most original voices of all times, also has been a huge inspiration in originality and doing things differently.
When I heard that she was doing church concerts and expressing her devotion for christianity I thought it a bit strange, but thought she also would do this in her own manner. I heard her doing a version of Depeche Mode's Personal Jesus and got the impression she was doing some interesting songs on the theme of christianity.
Well I would not miss the chance to see this legend in Göteborg. Since it was a church concert I also dared to invited my parents who were visiting me over the week end.

Sadly I must say the concert was a big dissapointment. Nina entered stage with a guitar and sat down and sang a song that could easily had been performed by the Salvation Army. After the first song she was joined by three musicians and they played another uninspired gospel. As song number three they played Personal Jesus and I started to hope for more songs outside the box. I got none.
Sadly they returned to gospels and hymns, and though a few of them got some magic from Nina's voice, most of them was just boring. After 90 minutes of gospels and prechings from Nina, my mother leans over to me and whispers - She could at least do one punk-song, could'nt she?
