Rammstein - Live Aus Berlin reviewed by Prodigal

Back to main page

If anybody could invent a time machine now,  the first dates I would pick would be Aug 22/23 1998 in Berlin - I would then find out next weeks lottery number of course! I digress - on to this superb DVD from the German Metal pyromaniacs.  This is  relatively early in their career, and with only 2 albums (Herzeleid & Sehnsucht) you would think there wouldn't be much of a concert....Wrong! As both albums are overflowing with brilliance, they could afford to play pretty much every track from both albums. Buck Dich was edited out of the DVD because of some *cough* pretty graphic stage antics between Till Linderman (singer) and keyboard player - Flake.... The translation of the song is "Bend Over"......I'll say no more! In my opinion this concert is right up there with Live After Death.....the showmanship, the music, the crowd - all perfectly captured here. The 5.1 audio mix is superbly done -  the best I have heard. Crystal clear in every sense - all other concert DVD's should be measured by this. The camera work is top notch, with a nice mix of band and crowd shots......no quick edits again Mr Harris! Extras:Interviews with the band and "Multicamera mode" on Tier, Du Hast & Rammstein. Track List: Spiel Mit Mir Herzeleid Bestrafe Mich Weisses Fleisch Sehnsucht Asche Zu Asche Wilder Wein Heirate Mich Du Riechst So Gut Du Hast Engel Rammstein Tier Laichzeit Wollt Ihr Das Bett In Flammen Sehen Seemann Running time of concert about 100 minutes Summary: Ok, so all the songs are in German....so what - this is Live Metal at it's very best.....and that's what we all want at the end of the day. Prodigals Star rating 9.5/10
