Live in Amerika [Blu-ray]

So many of us became fans of this band because of their incredible concerts and massive stage production. The MSG concert DVD is a video concert that is as good as it gets. The sound is incredible (I dont see how you can do any better for concert sound), many cameras, great set list executed with the professional tightness we expect from these concert masters. If you are a fan, you probably have this already; it is a must have. If you are not yet a fan, I can tell you I found this band years ago hunting on Amazon for great concert DVD's. Its not long before you hear the name Rammstein in connection with great concerts. If you are a fan of superb massive over the top rock stage shows, you wont go wrong with this DVD. Give it a try.

In my teens, Rammstein was a band that I fell in love with. Almost 2 decades later they still carry that energy that pulled me into their grips. Their music is powerful, and their stage show is truly something to behold. This blu-ray gives the band justice in terms of showing what they do best. The audio and visual quality is superb, and the accompany documentary is informative. Definitely a must see blu-ray for any Rammstein fan!

This is now my favorite Blu-ray!!! I may be a bit biased though. I first saw R+ in 1998 in Seattle, after that show I purchased my first concert DVD, Live Aus Berlin. I had it sitting in my collection and tried to get my wife to watch it, she wouldn't. Then while I was away for a weekend she happened to watch it TWICE in one night! She was not a fan until then. So for the next few years (Approx. 10) when we'd talk about concerts we'd been to, I would hold the fact that I had seen R+ live, and she hadn't. Well that all changed with the LIFAD tour as R+ once again came around on May 14, 2012 to Tacoma. We bought tickets as soon as they were on sale. We left the concert euphoric. I kept hoping for a decent concert DVD to come out. Völkerball and Live Aus Berlin were good in their own respects, but I felt the sound wasn't what it could be and the images not as sharp as they could be. After once again being treated for a third show, again in Tacoma May 15, 2013, I could only hope for a great DVD of a Rammstein concert. Well here we are in 2015, and now we have the definitive concert BLU-RAY! The sound is off the charts, and the images are crisp (especially when it comes to the sparks)! Till's vocals are all there, the guitars are more 'crunchy' than a studio album, and the stage antics are a sight! This perfectly captures what it is like to experience R+ in the flesh, save for two things, the heat, and the sweat. Even if you are not a fan of R+ I cannot recommend this purchase enough, at least find someone who has it to see for yourself! I have been to plenty of concerts in my life and none of them top R+. If you are a fan of music and performance....watch this NOW! Do not get hung up on "Oh it's in German, what's the point?" If you do you are selling yourself, and this band, considerably short, music and performance don't always have to be understood to get a feeling across.

This is the most amazing live performance you will ever see. All other concerts will seem tame once you view this show. And hyperbole aside, this Blu-ray really feels like the next best thing to actually being there in Madison Square Garden. Seriously, no other concert in my Blu-ray/DVD collection even comes close to drawing me into the performance like this one does. While Rammstein was awesome on stage, with all members performing at 100%, I wish to address the heroes behind the scene who made this Blu-ray amazing. Number one on the list are the mega-talented audio engineers. The recording and final mix are fantastic. These guys should be contracted by every other band on Earth who wish to release a concert video. The concert photography is exactly that, concert photography. Most concert videos feature the same boring shot structure; wide shot of stage, static close-ups and a dolly that can follow the band members as they move around. This show was shot with a ton of cameras all around the arena; cameras on the ground both facing the stage and the audience, mobile cameras on the stage, cameras on dollies and on three separate cranes. The result is dynamic and complex shot structure. Finally, the editing is subtle when it needs to be and bonkers the rest of the time. I found my adrenal glads kicking in several times during this show. If you love watching live music buy this Blu-ray right now. If you don't gravitate toward concert videos but wish to witness a spectacle, buy this Blu-ray right now.

Incredible video and audio quality. I had just seen them in Chicago, and this video does it so much justice. Crowd shots are incredible as well. Stage show is captured with close ups that make it feel so real. Documentary is really good as well - from pre Ramstein to the NY show. The members are really serious, and even a bit humble, which surprised me a bit. Highly recommended. Audio and video quality alone are fantastic.

Incredible! Superb production values, great editing, awesome music. The drama, excitement and emotion of a live performance is beautifully distilled on this disc. I never heard the band before and bought this on the strength of a single video I saw on Rammstein's Official Channel on YouTube. This is right up there with other iconic music videos I own such as Monterrey Pop, Woodstock, Simon and Garfunkel's Concert In Central Park and Stop Making Sense. OK, you can tell from that list that I'm a senior citizen, yes I'm old but I now have a Rammstein channel Pandora. Buy this you kids, and get off my lawn!

Ich gebe es zu: Bis zu diesem Sommer lag Rammstein für mich in einer schmuddeligen Musikschublade namens "DUMPF, DOOF und (noch schlimmer) RECHTS". Im Grunde weiß ich nicht, warum: Ich kannte von Rammstein kaum ein Stück. Irgendwie war da immer die Vermutung, ich müsse mich für diese Band ... schämen. Zu teutonisch, zu laut, zu tumbe, zu unanständig, zu geschmacklos, zu brachial, zu ... überhaupt alles. Rammstein ist ein widerliches Zerrbild all dessen, wofür man als "aufgeklärte gute Deutsche" nicht stehen sollte. Genau DAS wurde mir jahrelang immer wieder von den inländischen Medien eingeflüstert. Vielleicht war ich schlichtweg einfach noch nicht reif für Rammstein. Dann aber passierte folgendes: Eines Abends blieb ich mangels Alternativen im Free TV bei der Doku "Rammstein in Amerika" hängen. (Wer sind sie ? Wo kommen sie her ? Wie wurden sie durch die Touren in Amerika beeinflusst ? Höhen und Tiefen. Der finale Triumph im Madison Square Garden.) Da sah ich nun also sechs halbwegs normale Typen auf einer schwarzen Ledergarnitur herum lümmeln und hörte sie offen über ihre mitunter holprigen Anfänge im amerikanischen Musikbusiness berichten. Und das alles so ... geerdet und ohne Starallüren. Allein dass sie zugaben, unglaubliche Sprachschwierigkeiten in Übersee gehabt zu haben, fand ich erfrischend ehrlich. Ergänzt wurde der Bericht durch Konzertmitschnitte und weitere Interviews. Hm, das ist denn doch irgendwie faszinierend, dachte ich, und so überhaupt nicht das, was ich eigentlich erwartet hatte. Ergebnis: Den Rest der Nacht (bis ich komplett erschlagen über dem Schreibtisch einschlief) verbrachte ich im Internet und konsumierte so viel Rammstein wie möglich. Es war fast ein Schock: Rammstein machte mir richtig Spaß ! Metal ist zwar nach wie vor nicht komplett mein Ding, aber ich hätte nicht gedacht, dass mich die Texte von Till Lindemann & Co. und auch die offiziellen Videos dafür so reich entschädigen würden. Dumpf und doof ? Fehlanzeige. Rechts ? Oberflächlich betrachtet vielleicht hier und da, aber wenn man genau zuhört: Meiner Ansicht nach nein. Zugegeben, was Rammstein bietet, bewegt sich sehr oft hart an der Grenze des guten Geschmacks und auch jenseits dessen. Das muss man abkönnen (wichtigste Voraussetzung dafür ist vermutlich, sich selbst und die Dinge im allgemeinen nicht allzu ernst zu nehmen). Das einzige, für das ich mich mittlerweile noch in Bezug auf Rammstein schäme, ist, dass ich mir nicht schon viel früher eine eigene Meinung über diese Band gebildet habe. Das zweiteilige DVD-Set besteht aus besagter Dokumentation "Rammstein in Amerika" (einem guten Einstieg in die Materie, s. meine Erfahrung), einem Mitschnitt des mittlerweile legendären Konzertes im Madison Square Garden und einem Making of "Liebe ist für alle da". Das Booklet ist silbrig, wertig und überrascht innen mit netten Akt-Rückansichten der sechs Bandmitglieder vor US-amerikanischen Orten im Nirgendwo. Die Audio- und Bildqualität ist ansprechend. Ein Kauf, den ich nicht bereue ! Aber dennoch: Ich MUSS Rammstein irgendwann live sehen. Eines können die DVD's nämlich nicht leisten: Das Bühnenfeuerwerk am TV bleibt kalt. Update Februar 2017: Tickets für 4 Konzerte im Sommer gebucht. Ich bin Feuer und Flamme. Na dann mal: LOS !

La entrega fue muy buena (aunque hubiera deseado que viniera mas protegido el paquete), la calidad del video es muy buena, el live en si es bueno pero no es el mejor, creo que hay mejores, especialmente volkerball, sin embargo es una compra que vale totalmente la pena si eres fan, de otra manera talvez no sea tanto de tu agrado ya que la relacion precio/calidad, considero es un poco elevada

And its wonderful. My wife likes Take That, and was displeased with my choosing of this DVD, that I bought for myself, to listen to in my car, and watch when my speed is below 3km/h and/or my hand brake is on. But I like it, and I'm an adult, so who cares what Take That lovers say.

Semplicemente uno sperttacolo imperdibile! Grandissimo concerto da vedere e rivedere perché ricco di momenti di spettacolo puro oltre al rinomato muro del suono creato dai musicisti!

パフォーマンス最高、演出も最高。 メイキングも歴史を知ることが出来て良いですね。
