Alternate keyboard player(s)?
 

First off, since I'm new here, I apologize if this has already been covered/answered. I tried looking back at older threads to see if it came up and didn't find anything obvious.

Lately, I've been watching a ton of Alphaville live videos on YouTube, just for fun. In a handful of recent ones, I've noticed the keyboard player is someone other than Carsten. Here's an example (not great since it's shot from a balcony, but notable because it's obviously a recent show and was just posted to YouTube today):

Bald guy. Same keyboard setup as Carsten, and seems to know the songs as well as anyone else. Who is it? Someone who travels with the band as a "stand in" of sorts? Just curious.

Thanks!

That's Hendrik Röder from Bell Book and Candle (he's also son of the keyboardist from the East German band Puhdys). He's with Alphaville on tour for many years now, supporting either on stage or around. Great guy, full blood musician and a good soul.

Cool! I've learned something new. Thanks for the reply! :)

I was wondering who he was, too! Thanks for clearing it up.

That's my dream job right there.
