Recorded on 26 April 2008 at Berlin’s K17, both DVDs feature a full concert consisting of all 22 hits from the past 12 years – a concert that was as raw, dynamic and unvarnished as we’ve come to know Funker Vogt. These are all original recordings, with nothing ironed out or added at the studio. Everything was recorded in top quality, filmed with 6 HD cameras plus camera crane in 5.1 surround sound. When it came to the mix, Funker Vogt put a lot of emphasis on the live atmosphere, so for the first time, the familiar Funker Vogt hits are presented on DVDs the way we’ve known and loved them for years. But that’s not nearly all: the second DVD includes “Wrestling, Shotguns, Trailer Parks”, a 105-minute film, and performances at the M’era Luna festivals 2002, 2004 and 2006.
