Rammstein: Made in Germany Live!

I've only seen Rammstein play once - and that was years ago in a smaller venue than yesterdays Hartwall Arena. The show might have been smaller but I remember being able to feel the heat from the flame-throwers from almost 20 meters away and being blinded by the bright pyrotechnics exploding in the dark. At that time I thought there's no way they can surpass this show anymore.

I was wrong. Judging by the photo coverage posted on ibify the show was even bigger and better! The show for the "Made in Germany" tour manages to impress again! The whole gallery from Rammsteins gig in the Hartwall arena can be viewed on the ibify website or on android devices using the ibify app. Here are some selected images from the event:

Rammsteins show exceeded expectations again.

Rammstein rocks.
