It was finally time for blues-rock again and no one else than the re-strengthened Walter Trout was to earthquake the tent as highlight of day1. The spirit of B.B. King was in the house by “Say Goodbye To The Blues”. Oh no fear Walter was not to stop as blues-artist, he was to praise it.

By Sammy Avila as Hammond wizard, Michael Leisure as drum-manimal and Johnny Griparic as groove-monster on bass he had phenomenal musical companions again escorting him. Additional vocals and harmony guitar were contributed also by Dutch legendary singer and guitar-technician Andrew Elt by the absolute highlight grand final “Love That We Once Knew”. A sensitive song-end of a way too short, but glorious festival-show. Walter Trout would have deserved to play normally on the main-stage, perhaps next year!

Off course tracks like “Willst Du Mit Mir Gehn” “Leuchturm” and off course her super-hit ”99 Luftballons” were rounding up the party besides a very creative light-show and superb sound. By the meditative, very personal song “In Meinem Leben” she was bidding farewell for this night to her hyper-pleased fans by “Peace & Love”. A great day one of Bospop 2016 was over.
Day 2 started by a blues-devotion by CC Smugglers from Great Britain to hail Southern Roots Blues. Keep your eyes on them. The spirit of Johnny Cash was in the tent next by the devotional performance of the stunning Def Americans.

From country music capital Nashville it was not time for such music, but for passionate blues-rock with a psychedelic, vintage touch by SIMO next in the tent. Spiritual highlight by the magical, strong vocals of JD and guitar-solos was “Let Love Show The Way”. Elvis Costello next was to rock the ground by support of his great band The Imposters. The fire between fans and Elvis was to flame immediately by the very first tunes of “Pump It Up”. Elvis was really going kind of wild by the poignant “I Want You” by which he proved that he is also a great, varied axeman.
Germany’s show cowboys No.1 The Boss Hoss were to hoodoo by their mix of country-rock with modern whiskey- & beer-shots. The lead-guys Boss Burns & Hoss Power were to agitate the wild style to keep the devil away from their blessed souls. The ladies in the tent were eagerly hot on them and would have loved to have them as their private dancers in their nightly séparée, haha… The main thing was anyhow the music and specially Malcolm „Hank Williamson“ Arison on harp & mandolin and Russ T. Rocket on lead-guitars were virtuosos by their solos. Definite highlight of the show was the cover-versionof “Jolene”, featuring very special guest Ilse De Lange of The Common Linnets.

Hooky country-rock with even ska and tex-mex tequila shots was to open up this warm Sunday evening festival evening musically in glorious style like being in a Quentin Tarantino movie. It was finally metal- and guitar- maniacs time again by the axe-shred-sorcerer Steve Vai. Steve was really manifesting by his solos how “Over The Rainbow” his guitar-artistry is live, but he was not over-excessive by them, he was integrating several very melodic and sensitive solos, specially by “Whispering A Prayer” where he was escorted by second guitar master Dave Weiner. This show anybody who missed it on the ground made a big mistake as it was the top-extravagance of day 2. The end applause was like a drummer’s serenade in the jungle. The metal and hard-rock fans were getting a bit short in 2016, perhaps some more groupsas diversification for 2017…
Santana was next as headliner on the big stage. He started after the “Woodstock-Intro” by “Soul Sacrifice”. The masses were cheering by joy immediately from the very first chords. By “Fillmore East”; “Love Makes The World Go Round” and ”Freedom in your mind”he was alsoperforming songs from his anticipated new cd “Santana IV”. His live-band was stunning, but Europe would have loved to see him re-united live with the line-up of the cd, specially with Neal Schon on second guitars and Hammond wizard Gregg Rolie. The rhythm-plays were really extraordinary and an amusement, specially also as there was Carlos wife Cindy Blackman-Santana as drummer. She was ever so hot and versatile by her stick-extrordinary. It was a best of live program otherwise and “Black Magic Woman” and Santana’s solos were risin’ applause-storms amongst the audience.
Ks’ Choice the band from Belgium headlined by brother and sister Bettens was to rock the tent afterwards by their highly dynamic rock with melodic, but also stormy desert-like elements.
