I am 67 yo and still listen to this band. They may be a little older like me but they still KICK ASS!!! This film is a hidden gem!! Thank you for uploading it!😀😀❤❤👍👍👍

I'm still so glad I was able to be here for this concert I almost couldn't get off of duty while stationed in Germany early enough to make it.. I had just bought my first few synthesizers and was starting to get involved in industrial music what a great time to be involved in industrial music and in Germany at the same time

I was at that show. I believe it was 1990 or 91. Starplex right? Nitzer Ebb opened for Depeche Mode. It was on the violator tour!

I remember that there was a huge bass speaker system tube amp setup underneath the stage that just ripped your guts apart it was amazing

This is Nitzer Ebb I miss and love. I miss his old way of singing with the shouting. Their first three albums❤️

Cool, Nitzer Ebb was formed after a year (1982) that Front 242 was formed in 1981. Front 242 are the godfathers of EBM. And after all those years, both bands still exist

It only means front 242 started the race a year before them... Nitzer ebb are definitely pioneers of electronic music

The vocals are as energetic and raw as they are perfectly tight and controlled, wow!

my old band Pure Bunk had the pleasure of being their support act in Australia around 2006 I think....like a dream come true . Bon and Douglas were just great guys and I hope Douglas recovers to be well enough to delight us more on stage into the future .

A legendary live recording from the legendary Technoclub at Dorian Gray, Frankfurt. Miss you Dorian.

I was born almost a decade after this show even happened and I’m so immeasurably thankful someone filmed it. The amount of times I’ve come back to this video over the past ten or so years has been ridiculous; an underrated gem of bootlegs. Such a perfect set from a band in their prime and a great crowd too. Fucking killer

Ebb in their prime, love this band forever!

even at this quality this might be the best version of Shame they ever did

are there any groups that still play music like this? i was born 1 year after this show... born too fucking late, this is what music should sound like

alienvomitsex Surprisingly YES! Industrial was and still is my favorite....I am now 48 and still listen to Ebb, KMFDM and Front 242. I didn’t think any one still made or made any decent music similar to this any more. BUT....In my quest to find tracks for an Industrial mix that I want to do, I recently unearthed some artists with some tracks that are recent and that kick ass. Not a lot of vocals in the tracks that I have found so far though. Industrial just falls under the Techno, or EDM (ugh!) Umbrella now, so ya have to kind of dig here.. But, check out Broken English Club, Raudive, Tzusing (and be sure to check out his Boiler Room set here...trust me, it’s brutally awesome), Schwefelgelb, and Black Asteroid. Hope this helps! Cheers!

Their first 3 albums are sheer genius! I saw them on their Showtime club tour. Also when they opened for Depeche Mode on the Violator Tour.

NE comes on stage and blows me away. DM who??? Gonna go see them this weekend with ministry and NIN in Ohio and my old ass is gonna go crazy! ;)

I saw them in Paris during this tour. I remember the slap I received with the power of sound. Crazy energy group with Front 242.

Mit Nitzer Ebb bin ich aufgewachsen...und die Energie fließt noch heute durch meinen Körper. Geiler geht es kaum noch. Habe sie als Vorgruppe von Depeche Mode gesehen (muss Ende der 80´er gewesen sein). Das war fast besser als DM selbst.

fucking perfect set.

Classic Nitzer Ebb!!!

This is perfect EBM, if they are to be labeled at all… How about, just, Perfect. Yes, they make perfect music.

Im freeking blown away by this amazing performance.. its flawless. Vocals are just raaawwwwww

This is great piece of history. Thanks. I jam to this regularly.

pure, raw energy

Puré energy one of BEST converts ever

found out about this band cause they opened for NIN at the Eden Project in Cornwall. long drive there so missed them. later found out they performed without Douglas McCarthy (main vocalist) that night, and I didn't know them that well at the time anyways so didn't care. but since then I've been listening to them a bunch. this shit is so cool and it hits hard. more people gotta hear it.

THATS WHY THEY ARE CALLED eXES

After that special night in Frankfurt we´ve never been to a concert with such an energy and power. We are still glad, that we had the chance to be part of this fantastic event. Don´t know how many people have squashed into this "fighting cage". Still getting goose bumps watching this clip.

The energy is relentless

Just drop me back in 1989 for this gig and bring me back afterwards (maybe:)

Love this! Best EBM-band ever!

French music producers never fail to dazzle the listener.. Plaisance is a gem of the early beginnings of the retrowave genre.. Snazzy, upscale hardware synthesizers, used the way they were meant to be showcased.. But popular mainstream hip hop and rap utilize synthesizers simply as a gimmick and the ultimate goal being to make money by cashing in on the commercial music scene.. no thank you!! Synthwave/retrowave/chillwave and all related genres are WHY synthesizers were invented .... that's pure love!! I hate 99.9% of rap and hip hop...especially since 2000.. but 1995-1999 was the best time for hip hop and R&B.. In America, if you noticed or not.. and this is only for people who Generation X (1965-1977) and some Generation Y may remember the shift on FM radio in 1995... so anyone born 1977-1990 is Generation Y years i think... I'd say 1995's album "Crazy Sexy Cool" by TLC (produced by Babyface) was the firing shot... So anyone who doesn't remember or wasn't born or aware of music yet, from 1994 and before that to say... mid 1970s.. synthesizers were on a roll pushing into the great decade of the 1980s.. If you listened to Rock N Roll stations, it was British synth pop (early synthwave!) was on everyday... we had Wham!, ABC, Thompson Twins, Hall & Oates, A Flock Of Seagulls, Depeche Mode, etc!!

ID LOVE TO HEAR THEM IN THE ORIGINAL FORM ! IT REALLY SPEAKS VOLUMES , OR IT SPEAKS FOR US OLEDER LADS , THAT LIVED THROUGH THIS , a GOOD BAND !

They sound so good live!

the best live presentation!!

F love twa! Ty!

I WAS THERE !!! So geil das hier zu finden 👍 Thanks for uploading !

Amazing! I saw them in Oslo on February 6th. 1989 on this tour! Such great memories!!! :D

Two words: fucking good!!!

during Warsaw Ghetto they should of just let that guy rock out, he wasn't hurting anyone just boosting morale

I remember being around 16-17 years old and I bought Nitzer Ebb “Belief” white album it changed me forever!! It was deep, dark and haunting!! I still listen to that album more than any other album from them! TWA was my all time instrumental song ever!! Very deep! Thanks for sharing this and hearing them playing my favorite song in the beginning intro!

fuck this is good.

DUDE!! idk why I've never looked for NE live uploads on KZread, considering I'm 51 and had begun listening to NE in high school, my 1st introduction was of course "That Total Age" and I was hooked on the blistering synths and macho basslines paired with Douglas over the top vocal style replete with his signature grunts and other noises.. So THANKS BIG to the channel, I subscribed to you.. you can really tell how energized the crowd was when "Violent Playground" started.. I'm also kicking myself for never having seen NE in concert and also never saw Depeche Mode.. Fuck I was class of 1990, I should have been at every cool band's concerts!!! There was great entertainment in the late 80s early 90s here in Florida, the old Power Station/The Asylum in Melbourne, Florida (not Australia) had so many great bands of that era grace the stage there.. also in Palm Bay at The Village Underground and Orlando's The Edge, as well as JJ Whispers/Six Feet Under/ Cyberzone.. I did manage to see all of these groups in that time: Skinny Puppy, Frontline Assembly, Pigface, The Cramps, The Jesus And Mary Chain, My Life With The Thrill Kill Kult, ChemLab, Nine Inch Nails, Cosmic Baby, CCCP, Cut Rate Box, Book Of Love, Gene Loves Jezebel, Lords Of Acid, A Split-Second, MC 900 Ft. Jesus, Severed Heads, Legendary Pinkdots, KMFDM, and several others. Never got to see Front 242.. Thanks again for this blast from the past!

Oh - genial! Danke!! Lift up your HEARTS!

Soooo good! I got to see them open for Depeche Mode on the Showtime tour in Chicago, and later got to see them again in Chicago at Cold Waves on the same night as Front 242 and Portion Control. Although the latter NE show felt a bit more like "Nitzer Lite" compared to shows from the era in this clip, it was still a great performance from these three legends (plus Light Asylum and two other more rock-leaning acts).

Saw them in April of the following year in Frankfurt, Germany @ a venue called Volksbildungsheim. A lot of great people of the time in the Frankfurt EBM scene were there as well. These were amazing times.

the crazy guy in the front row is lovin him some nitzer ebb

I just love that 80's sound :) so sweet

I was hoping to see them live at m'era Luna this year, I hate the fact that it got cancelled.

Oh! I was young once. Thanks!

another great show is MINISTRY , in case you didnt feel like showing up, live at Merriville!

NITZER THANKS WE ARE THE EBB

Happy Bday Douglas!!!! You're still THE MAN!!!!!

I own, according to websites with the most "Knowledge", every single one of their albums, records, CD's, recorded videos, shirts, and even an autopraphed Skin... From NITZER EBB, Hollywood, few years ago... YEAH!!!
