Saturday December 11 we (ABSOLUT) sponsored RAMMSTEIN’s only U.S. live performance. This was the only US show by the Berlin-based six-piece band, who have not performed in the United States since 2001.
Each song had some sort of stunt associated with it, the highlights of these being ”Benzin”, ”Feure Frei!”, and ”Pussy”.
- During Benzin, Lindemann used a flamethrower to light one of the stagehands completely ablaze as another chased him around the stage trying to smother the flames with a German flag.
- Feure Frei had the band members donning face-mounted flamethrowers that sent out spectacular bursts of flame in all directions.
- During the pre-encore Pussy, Lindemann straddled a giant penis that sprayed feathery fake semen over the crowd.
It was like some sort of concert-circus hybrid.
