This awesome CD contains some of Groenemyer's best songs and is performed in a fantastic live atmosphere with the typical Groenemeyer audience: cheering and singing all the time to his songs. Especially, "Bochum" in this fantastic live version sends shivers down my spine every time I hear this live version (and I hear this often!). Also all other songs on the album are great and reflect Groenmemeyer's works until 1995 perfectly. I've seen Herbert personally in some concerts in Germany and love his songs and his performance which is always close to absolute exhaustion. By hearing the songs on this CD you automatically get the feeling to be part of the concert, standing in the audience! I love this CD and highly recommend it to everyone who loves good music, too, even if it's only sung in German language. It's the best example for a real European/German Rock concert has much more spirit than those burials the Americans call "rock concerts"...! If you are American/English and interested in the English versions of Groenmemeyer's songs, I also recommend the "What's all this" album (1988), containing some of the "LIVE" CD's songs in an English version. My personal favorites of the "LIVE" CD: "Chaos", "Bochum", "Maenner", "Alkohol", "Land unter", Morgenrot" and "Ich hab' Dich lieb". Come on, give it a try and BUY IT!

Die CD hat fast alle frühen Hits die ich wollte (mit der Ausnahme von "Musik nur wenn sie laut ist"). Leider ist Männer mit 2:02 etwas kurz geraten, aber ist trotzdem toll. Dit Tonqualität ist recht gut, zwar nicht so wie ein Studioalbum aber es ist eben ein Livekonzert. Dafür hat man die Stimmung, besonders bei solchen Songs wie "Bochum" und "Was soll das", wo das Publikum begeistert mitsingt, aber auch beim gefühlvollem "Halt mich" und "Land unter" bin ich immer wieder erfreut wie die Leute mitgehen und mitsingen; es gibt einem wirklich das Gefühl mit dabei zu sein.
Das eizige was ich zu bemängeln hätte ist, das es kein Doppelalbum ist. Livealben, sollten als Regel immer ein Doppelalbum sein, denn ein Konzert ist ja normalerweise auch etwas länger.

It's good to have a live album from Herbert G. with his 90's songs included. I particularly liked "Land unter" from his album "Morgenrot". And the Stimmung is very supporting but doesn't get too overwhelming (well, it's a German concert...). For some reason this man never give concerts in Scandinavia although he has a good cult following among German speakers over here. Herbert, if you read this, please arrange for a Flugzeug to Helsinki and come sing for your Finnish fans! Then we'll give you 5 stars!

I was exposed to Herbert Groenemeyer on a recent trip to Europe and I was absolutely amazed at the audience reaction, the emotion he put into his music and I immediately loved it. I could not find this cd in the cities I visited but did receive it once I got home. So far I have only had a chance to listen to the second half of it and I love it! The language barrier does not in the least hinder the performance. I highly recommend this album you will not be disappointed. My next trip to Europe I hope it will include Germany so I could see this artist live.

This is the definitely my favorite of Groenemeyer's albums. His music isn't as hard and techno-y as a lot of German music. He is an amazing songwriter and includes some great ballads. "Flugzeug im Bauch" is incredible live. If someone had to buy one German CD ever, I would highly recommend that this be it!!!

This CD is awesome. You really get the feeling of being in rock concert. If you like foreign music (German) with a lot of singing and you prefer slow music rather than hard rock you have to buy it!!!

This is one of the best live albums i hear in my life. Absolutely fantastic.
