Nitzer Ebb - The Echoplex, Los Angeles - 09.11.2010 (Flac)

Excellent recording proving that Nitzer Ebb are in top form! thanks to mixter_ for sharing his recording. I couldn´t find an image of the concert poster so I used the poster from the next concert on the american tour, wich was really cool.

Original info file:

after seeing three recoil show over the previous 2 weeks, i couldn't help but wonder how they might have benefited from douglas' appearance. sadly, he was unable to make any of the u.s. shows to perform "stalker" and "faith healer". still i needed my n.e.p. fix and they did not disappoint.
a very taught set from the boys this time around. the audience seemed unusually sedate. true to form, the band was very animated. douglas continues to prowl the stage like a caged panther barking orders in time like a drill sergeant. vocals are very clear and prominent in the mix as they are for most n.e.p. shows.
still the unexpected indifference of the weeknight audience in attendance did bring the band's
energy level down a notch until the end of set "murderous". apparently the residents of silverlake can't dance.
"once you say" is now performed in a lower key perhaps because after a solid year of touring the world, he needs to preserve his voice. the lack of audience "participation" created a near perfect storm for taping. no chat, just polite applause and a murmur between songs. unfortunately, the show opener "promises" and the classic "ascend" have been nixed from the set and replaced by the new song, "on the road". douglas and bon stayed and met fans after the show at the venue entrance. a class act. see you the next time around.

gratuitous propaganda:
a must for fans of: nine inch nails, depeche mode, kmfdm, ministry, revco, daf, skinny puppy, recoil, bauhaus, numan, the sisters of mercy, etc...

please buy their phenomenal new album "industrial complex" or get to one of their shows.
