This concert by Rammstein took place on Wednesday, 3 September 1997 at Bank Club in New York City, New York, United States, as part of the Sehnsucht Tour. It was Rammstein's 191st show, their 1st in United States, 1st in New York, 1st in New York City and 1st at Bank Club, and the 35th of the tour.
Information
During Bück dichFlake tried to smash a neon lamp against Till's shoulder. After finally breaking it, Till was bleeding all over his back. Flake threw the rest of the lamp away and hit Schneider's arm, which immediately started to bleed too.[2]
In the Rammstein in Amerika documentary, Schneider mentions that the neon lamp stunt was performed during the song Feuerräder. This is not correct. While the band did indeed perform such a stunt during Feuerräder while touring in Europe, by the time they started playing shows in America in 1997, the song had been removed from the setlist. The stunt was instead performed on Bück dich. It is to be assumed that Schneider misremembered and mixed up the two songs after many years.
In a photo of the concert Till can be seen wearing a bloodstained bandage on his head. He is also wearing a shirt under the burning coat, meaning it is the beginning of the performance, so most likely the blood on the bandage is fake.
The band played late and in front of only around 30 people.[2]
Wayne Pighini watched the concert and did not want to sign the band.[2]
