World Through My Eyes – Live

Release 01 May 2026

In 2025, RPWL celebrated the 20th anniversary of their masterpiece “World Through My Eyes”, emphatically cementing their reputation as Germany’s most successful art rock band. This album is a shining milestone in the band’s more than 25-year history of success, hailing from Freising, Bavaria! With an impressive 11 studio albums and 9 live albums, RPWL repeatedly showcase their creative power and boundless passion for exceptional music. The anniversary was the perfect occasion to honour this remarkable journey with an enthusiastic two-and-a-half-week tour and numerous acclaimed festival appearances.

The anniversary tour in October 2025 became a triumphant highlight: many concerts were completely sold out, and the professional recording of this tour now allows every fan to relive the magical atmosphere of these shows time and again. Whether as a double vinyl, double CD, or via streaming – the full setlist of the tour is available to all music lovers at any time, inviting everyone to immerse themselves in the unique energy of RPWL’s concerts.
Many songs from “World Through My Eyes” have now become genuine RPWL classics – and the current seven-piece line-up showed itself at its very best during the anniversary tour: perfectly rehearsed, virtuosic and bursting with incomparable joy of playing! The sound reached new heights, thrilling the audience with rousing dynamism and sonic brilliance. The two remaining founding members, Yogi Lang (vocals and keyboards) and Kalle Wallner (guitar), have stamped their mark on the band for decades with their unique compositions, providing unmistakable goosebump moments.

The rhythm section, with Marc Turiaux on drums and Markus Grützner on bass, forms the band’s pulsating heart. Their flawless interplay delivers an irresistible groove that gets fans out of their seats at every concert. Since 2023, Butsch Keys has enhanced the band, brilliantly supporting Yogi Lang on keyboards. The brilliant voices of Caroline von Brünken and Carmen Tannich have been adding special highlights for several years. In songs like “Everything Was Not Enough”, “Day On My Pillow” and “3 Lights” they provide emotional highs and prove their exceptional vocal talent. Especially “3 Lights” reveals an incredible dynamic live, culminating in breathtaking solos from Butsch Keys and Kalle Wallner – a real treat for every music fan!

Another highlight, of course, was the goosebump-inducing song “Roses”, which, in its original version featuring Ray Wilson (ex-Genesis), caused a sensation at WDR Rockpalast back in 2005. During the anniversary tour, the title track “World Through My Eyes” also received its own energetic live interpretation, leaving audiences in awe and earning rapturous applause.

The entire album was performed in the first part of the concerts, and as the crowning finale of the regular set, the bonus track “New Stars Are Born” delighted the crowd. This epic song encapsulates everything RPWL stands for: profound melancholy, majestic melodies, virtuosic solos, stirring improvisations, and an enthralling length that leaves no audience unmoved – especially the outstanding guitar solo, which sparks wild cheers and pure goosebumps!

The release of the anniversary tour perfectly captures the magic of this special concert series and is a must for every fan. It offers an inspiring retrospective on an extraordinary chapter in the band’s history – full of passion, energy and musical mastery. With this anniversary celebration, RPWL have once again played their way into the hearts of their fans!
