I saw Nena more than 20 times live and I can say that she's brilliant. After 20 years in the music business she has been so tough and excellent as in the beginning. In my opinion "Nur geträumt" (=Just a dream) and "Irgendwie, Irgendwo, Irgendwann" (=Anyplace, Anywhere, Anytime) are the best live-performed songs here. And her American band (normally with Joan Jett on tour) is great!

This is the second live Nena album and most of its material covers her latest pop album WENN ALLES RICHTIG IST, DANN STIMMT WAS NICHT. One extremely unique highlight of this live album is the live duet between Nena and Hartmut Engler( the lead singer of the German pop music band Pur ) with the Pur band performing as well. The two German singers sing the original Pur song "Lena", which is modified to "Nena" and adjusted for the duet, so that Nena sings in the first person instead of the second person point of view and the second person instead of the first person point of view in the original song. Of the other 13 Nena songs in this album, 5 come from her album WENN ALLES RICHTIG IST, DANN STIMMT WAS NICHT( "Was hast du in meinem Traum gemacht", "Wenn wenigstens Sommer waer", "Dann fiel mir auf", "Das ist normal", and "Es ist in Ordnung" ), 1 comes from her album JAMMA NICH( "Jamma nich" ), 1 comes from her album BONGO GIRL( "Was immer du tust" ), 1 comes from her album WUNDER GESCHEH'N( "Abschied" ), 1 comes from her album FEUER UND FLAMME( "Irgendwie, irgendwo, irgendwann" ), 1 comes from her album ?( FRAGEZEICHEN )[ "?( Fragezeichen ) ], and 3 come from her album NENA( "Leuchtturm", "Nur getraeumt", and "99 Luftballons" ). I recommend this live album most highly to everyone, especially to those who really enjoy listening to live concert recordings.

For anyone who likes NENA and her more guitar based stuff, it doesn't get any better than this. On this CD she presents her old hits and songs from the latter album "wenn alles richtig ist, dann stimmt was nicht" (if everythings going right, then something's wrong)in the best manner that NENA really knows how, she rocks it!! Lots of guitars and even a slight double basedrum, great!! I went to about 10 concerts in the last 2 years and one was better than the other. Too bad that some of the other songs that she played are not on this CD. If you like NENA or German Music, then this is a must.

This is a great Live CD from Nena.
I particularly like Nur Getraumt and Irgendwie - wo- wann.
And Leuchturm!
This is a MUST have CD for all Nena fans. ...

It's amazing this live album! You must buy it.
Nena's performance, everything is excellent on this album (even the people).
It was recorded during the "Wenn alles richtig ist, dann stimmt was nich" tour in Germany.
Really, you must buy it.

This is a sensational Nena CD. Prepare to be blown away! 5 stars aren't enough for something this exciting. If you're a Nena fan I wish I could reach out from your screen and shake you and say "buy this now!". The white circle on the CD cover says something like "in her best form she rocked 40,000 people with her greatest hits". This CD presents an entire concert at the Rhine Stadium in Dusseldorf in 1998.

Nena comes alive and leaves you breathless! Like live CDs and NENA? Then this one is a must-buy!
