Rammstein at the Velodrom Berlin
Today, I want to talk about this amazing gig a tiny bit 🤍
On 18th of May 2001, Rammstein played a gig at the Velodrom in Berlin, which marked the seventh show of the Mutter tour. It was the first of two concerts in this venue and back then, a ticket for this concert cost between 60 and 68DM (Deutsche Mark), which equals to about 30-35€ today.
Both concerts were fully sold out.
While the concert was apparently fully recorded and filmed, only the songs "Ich will" and Links 234" were released as video material to the public on the DVD 'Lichtspielhaus' in 2003 as well as audio clips on the bonus tour edition of the Mutter album.
The plan was to use the footage of this whole gig for a Mutter tour DVD, yet this DVD never was released. No official reasons were given for this, but there are rumors that the band seemingly wasn't satisfied with the quality of the recording, didn't think the stage show was interesting enough to be on a DVD or overall didn't like the Mutter tour very much.
There is however a full audio recording of this exact concert available:
One of my favourite recordings so far, Till sounds really powerful, the audience is really enthusiastic and the guitar sound is pretty crisp, especially during the "Adios" solo [the song starts at 24:27min, solo starts at 26:49min]. I'm always so thankful when I find full recordings like this one, it's like a little concert-time capsule ⏲
For my german peeps - a newspaper report about this concert, published on the 20th May 2001:
So all in all: If I would have the chance to use a time machine, I would use it (apart from Live aus Berlin) definitely for this gig. Especially to witness 'Links 234' live in this setting, which blows me away everytime I watch it 🤍
