Doro
March 23, 2008
Highline Ballroom. New York, N.Y.

Although the Easter holiday resulted in a light turnout, Germany’s Doro and her band threw themselves into their set at New York’s Highline Ballroom that Sunday evening as if it were crammed with 20,000 people. We haven’t seen a veteran band physically rock nonstop through its entire show in ages—the whole lot threw themselves into the set like touring rookies gunning for press. The practically aerobic workout included such Doro classics as All We Are and Love Me in Black. By the time the set was over, everyone in the crowd was probably a few pounds lighter.—Christa Titus

Between the crowd of industry folks and the tight space, it was cramped quarters in the upstairs lounge of the Highline Ballroom. Doro and her band squeezed onto the couch for a pic prior to performing.
