Have a look at www.thetimes.co.uk and search for 'Rammstein' - there's a review of the gig on there.

In the field of high-voltage carnival rock, Rammstein have few rivals. If they ever figure out how to bring their bludgeoning sound into line with their visuals, they will be worth taking far more seriously.

Don't agree with the reviewers comments at all. The only questionable aspect of the performance was "los", but I just don't like that song!
The fact that he thinks amerika and moscow are the two stand out tracks of the album says it all really.
Highlights for me:
Mein teil -Possibly the best riff ever! Sinister to the extreme too!
Stein um stein - Brutal and nasty...love it!
Reise Reise- What an anthem!
Onhe Dich- Moving song, great melody....very powerful live too.
Klein lust: Odd, but very catchy...it exploded live, too.
Amerika- Lets all jump on the bash America bandwagon. . . at least its well executed...you can imagine a US party conference tune sounding a bit like that! :-) Its not a highlight of the album at all though. It Did come across well live, and I loved the shower of ticker tape!
Moscow- Just doesn't fulfil it's potential on the record.....and I'm not exactly sure why! The band didn't look as comfortable playing this one live either! Almost like they were holding back.

one of my mates has been working for them this tour...he's not back yet so nothing to report except they had seven lorries for the London dates, where most bands normally have only two...lots of pyro stuff apparently!

My son, Kenny was at the Brixton gig Thursday. Better he claims than the 2002 tour. The bass player fell out of the dingey while surfing around, Kenny and his mate Paul picked him up and helped him back in. Wahoooooooooooo.
Feuer Frie was best track of the night, flame thrower masks were superb.

it was awesome
there was a review in the manchester evening news which slated the show, but i thought it was fantastic.
apocalyptica were stunning - cello rock - wtf?!?!?
Hey Wurzel - are you going to the Wuhlhiede (sp?) gig? Thought about getting tickets TBH - they were THAT good..!

Ubik,
re playlist - too stunned to remember mate
IIRC there was a load of tracks from Reise Reise, a couple of the hard-hitters from Mutter which were cool. There were a few older tracks "you smell so good" was cool, some other Live Aus Berlin type stuff too.
No Engel though MAJOR bummer - still didn't expect it really as they had no female vocalist at hand. It did play on exit though, which was nice.
