RAMMSTEIN
Bercy Arena - Paris, France
March 6 2012

Arguably, Rammstein concerts are some of the best rock shows in the world!
It doesn’t matter if you like their music or not, there are enough bands for every taste.
It’s about the show, and Rammstein are the masters when they comes to play live!

Rammstein were promoting their "Best Of" Album called Made In Germany. We were honoured with a "Best Of" concert from every point of view.

First, the setlist. It was a collection of songs that are already considered classics.
Sehnsucht, Links, Du Hast, Amerika, Mein Herz Brennt, Du Riechst So Gut...
Quite strange, the song Rammstein was not played.

Second, let’s talk about the the visual effects.

As the song Rammstein was not played, Till didn’t wear the flammable jacket.
Also, they didn’t play Ich tu dir weh, so we didn’t have the pyro on Flake’s bathtub, which is in my opinion one of the best visual effects Rammstein has ever done.

But let’s focus on what we actually saw, and it was amazing!

Rammstein brought everything we could expect: Masks breathing fire during Feuer Frei, huge wings on fire during Engel, Till the butcher cooking Flake during Mein Teil... and of course, the dicks during Bück Dich and Pussy.

These effects were already used on previous tours, but who cares? It was thrilling to see them again!

They also brought some new things, especially a bridge over the audience that they used during the intro.

Later, they used the bridge again to get to a small central stage in the middle of the audience, from where they played 3 songs: Bück Dich, Mann megen Mann and the ballad One Dich.

After this they got backstage for a few minutes... but the show wasn't over!
They came back for a 5 song encore, including only hits!

After a festive version of Pussy with the people in the first rows bathed with by foam, the band thanked the crowds and now we all thought the how was over...

But then we heard Till's sounding like a voice rom beyond the grave, asking "Paris, vous voulez une autre chanson?"
And so they came back and played Frühling In Paris, for the first time on this tour!
That was a hell of a gift, a perfect way to end a hell of a concert.
The next evening Rammstein was again in town? I couldn't resist to go back!
Read here the review of Rammstein's second night in Paris.
