Background
Nena's Nichts versäumt tour takes its name from the first line of the chorus of Nena's 1982 breakthrough hit, "Nur geträumt".[1] Effectively a greatest hits tour, Nichts versäumt was trailed by a ZDF programme of the same name screened in October 2017 to mark the 40th anniversary of Nena's first stage appearance, which was at a youth hostel in Hagen-Haspe in front of an audience of 28 people including Nena's parents.[2][3] In 2018 the Nichts versäumt tour encompassed 45 cities from 7 May to 22 September, attracting a combined audience in excess of 250,000.[4] The tour won the 2018 PRG Live Entertainment "Concert Hall" Award for venues accommodating 2,000 to 5,000 spectators.[5][6] A further 24 "open air" concerts under the Nichts versäumt banner took place in 2019.[7]
The Nichts versäumt live album comprises a recording of Nena's concert on 29 June 2018 at Westfalenhalle, Dortmund, the same venue where a Nena concert had been recorded in 1983.[8][9] The album comprises 22 songs dating back to the 1980s and eight from 2005 or later including the album's only new song, the outro "Immer noch hier" which features Nena's eldest son's vocals and which Nena co-wrote with 3 people including her two other sons.[10][11]
Critical reception
The Dortmund concert was positively received locally. Nena received an award for the concert being a sell-out[12] and an entertainment news site described how, "this exceptional German artist and her band showed how a great concert is full of hits, enthusiastic fans and many emotions."[13] A largely favourable review in the Der Westen noted that the newer songs were received less rapturously than the "classics" by an audience somewhat "confused" by the rapping segment.[14]
Early reviews of the album were positive. Echte Leute concluded, "Nichts versäumt is a fascinating live documentary with many rousing and energy-packed Nena songs. [It] demonstrates the many facets of the NDW icon, who – supported by an excellent band – impresses the listener/viewer whilst switching between pop, rock, hip hop, punk and elektro."[15] A review in the "internet music magazine" Musicheadquarter was similarly enthusiastic, likening the concert to a "rousing, heart-warming party", a particular highlight being the "mini acoustic set Nena plays on a small stage in the middle of the audience."[16]
Chart performance
Nichts versäumt entered the German charts at number 27, the highest position attained by a Nena live album.[17] In music DVD charts, the album reached number 2 in Germany, number 3 in both Austria and Switzerland and number 8 in the Netherlands.[18][19][20][21]
