Damn long white haired Till looks like a BAMF.

...but he did do Platz Eins, complete with chair to stand on and fluorescent light tubes held by assistants whilst he strolled the area. In his red suit and slotted glasses!
The full concert is already on YouTube!
Just read the comments: the uploader said the show's drummer was a substitute, meaning not Joe Letz. Substitution because the "original drummer tested positive for COVID." If true, I wonder if Till and the rest of the band were tested?

Couldn't tell from the above ^^ video. Golden Shower and Knebel looked blurred; but Victoria still got spanked during the reading session. Main comments floating around are how awful the backing tracks sounded (Peter & crew certainly are missed) and the incident with a mic stand accidentally or intentionally hitting a security guard in the head.
Some of the issues undoubtedly have to do with being first gig with a new band and Till having one hell of a hangover from the New Year's party. His 4 January Dubai birthday bash show will be interesting.
I really hope he releases a new album, or EP. Or even just changes the set list up a bit so we get Yukon, G-Spot Michael, Children Of The Sun, That’s My Heart (would make an excellent show closer), Schlaf Ein and Wer Weiß Das Schon. As well as the other recent solo singles… Le jardin des larmes (solo), Lubimiy Gorod, though I would be happy not to see him do any version of Mathematik live. Or Alle Tage ist kein Sonntag. Unless some awesome sounding hybrid version is arranged that’s mainly just Weinen Sollst Du.
Is it the (better) album version of Ach So Gern they are playing live or the Pain version? Haven’t had a chance to watch the video yet.
Is the show also still opening with Till in his diaper? Be interested to know if the oral sex stuff from the R+ live show antics is still being used as well.
Kinda feel like a new opener is due and retire Skills In Pills.
I'm also surprised Till hasn't played Yukon, it's a popular cut from SiP and emotionally less difficult than Home Sweet Home. Yes to the diaper video, yes to the Pain-lite version of ASG (not sure how the tango version would go over live, to be honest). Overall this feels like Till simply recycled the setlist and some of the visuals (including throwing cake & fish during Allesfresser & Fish On) minus the musical quality that Peter and crew brought to the mix and added IHK as a closer.
Till looked off his game during this show, tired and occasionally off the beat - he started the F&M bridge too soon for example. Again, some of this may be due to having a new band, a replacement drummer that had to learn the entire set list in a short period of time, plus everyone was hung over. The birthday show in Dubai is only a few hours away, be interesting to compare. Third show is in Ukraine, wonder if he'll change the caption of Freud reading In Stillen Nächten? (It's in Russian.)
The 4K show is now up. Uploader included one of the more biting comments from r/Lindemann in his description, below the setlist & timestamps.
^ haha, damn.
Did you ever post here under a different alias? Or did you just resume posting here more frequently recently? As in like the last year or two? Because I see you’ve been here since 2011 but I only saw you start posting about R+ and co. in more recent times. Or am I losing the plot?
@Erneuert I used another alias on NIN.com (way back when it had forums) and the old version of ETS. After this site was restored I took the username of WingWalker...and promptly lost my password. Been reading here on and off ever since; found my pw and renewed my interest in Rammstein all at the same time. I'm not the most interesting poster, so I mostly lurk and enjoy the conversations.
I keep hoping for a NIN/Rammstein collaboration (can you imagine Till's lyrics, R+ music & instrumentation, with the Reznor/Ross spin?!) so Trent could have a little chat with Till about maybe rethinking his own personal Mr Self-Destruct trajectory.
Dubai.
^ What song was that during? I couldn’t make it out properly.
any set list changes?
Fat, maybe? The vocals were garbled.
Set list the same.
The 20 January Bratislava concert has been cancelled. Apparently he still plans to play Ukraine.
Man, the new live band sounds really… bad. The only good thing are Till’s vocals.
see:
There's some question about the amount of playback used during the shows.
An interesting question is why Till didn't opt for better-known players for his new band. He's had two years to come up with musicians; I assumed Sky Van Hoff would be one. Surely the front man of Rammstein, known for his perfectionism, would attract and want to work with the very best musicians out there. Is he too cheap? Does his ego not want the competition? Instead, he's now in a cover group of his own band, complete with everyone except Letz wearing Tägtgren-style ponytails, but without the Pain-level musicianship.
The real test will be the shows in Kyiv, Prague and beyond. No New Year's Eve celebrations and birthday vodka shots to blame if the sound still sucks. And if it does, what does this mean for the Rammstein shows, which begin again in May?
This is also the first time I've ever seen Till Lindemann with little to no tone in his arms. He just looks heavy.
Are they throwing cakes? I'm assuming that's what those are although i was a bit worried from the opening with footage of Till eating some real messy spaghetti that they were going to drench the crowd in bowls of it LOL
To which i would have been glad not to be at the front of that crowd!
@thelastdisciple Yes, cake for Allesfresser, and (dead) fish during Fish On.
The entire tour has been postponed to the end of the year.

Saw this on r/Lindemann: Till's expanding his business interests. "TL.BERLIN adding a twist to high fashion and style:" https://www.instagram.com/tl.berlin/ The website is here: https://tl.berlin/
That is one sweet suit he's wearing.
The site is now active, currently the only product is "Herz" red wine. Though the products are described as being inspired by the Berlin subculture, they look to be the the usual hoodies, tees and jackets. I was expecting Kit Kat Club-type items. And that Till's black suit was one of the offerings.

^ Man, I’m losing track of all of his shit now. You’ve got the original Lindemann logo, then the Till Lindemann solo logo. Then that Doktor Dick thing. Now this. What else is there? haha
Random thought: I want to see Till and Arnold Schwarzenegger sit down and have a conversation together.
Looking around the site, it may be called TL Berlin but it's headquartered in Dubai. Danny Uhlmann is running it, which is interesting. He also runs Doktor Dick, and many complaints about the service. Wonder if DD will be integrated into TL Berlin?
What I'd love to see on the site? Music. New Till Lindemann music, new collaborators, new ideas. Not a cap with piercings over the left eye, or yet another hoodie.
Let's hope Rammstein can get the damn paper for the booklets and release the album (I'm starting to think that's just an excuse) and get back on tour.
There’s a cap with piercings over the left eye?
