The song Wehende Fahnen from the album Opel-Gang accompanied Andreas von Holst on the acoustic guitar.

In the encore part was played until the bitter end , Greetings, goodbye . Eisgekühlter Bommerlunder always ended after the last encore .

The songs Do anything you wanna do , originally by Eddie & the Hot Rods , Carneval in Rio (Punk Was) and Born to Loose as a memory of Johnny Thunders were part of the program . The set also included the song Wort zum Sonntag from the 1986 album Damenwahl , which originally said: “As long as Johnny Thunders lives, I'll stay a punk; As long as there is something to drink, all of our parties continue. "After Johnny Thunders passed away shortly after the recording of the album Learning English Lesson One , Campino introduced the song for the first time on the tour with changed lyrics:" Hey Johnny, you can see us right now? We dont forget you! We will tell about you everywhere so that your name will live on forever ”.

According to the circus motto and the title of the tour People, Animals, Sensations , the band members were very active on stage during the performance. In his photo book about Die Toten Hosen in 2006, Fryderyk Gabowicz remembers the band's stage appearance on May 15, 1992 in the Munich Olympiahalle : “The Toten Hosen raged around on stage so much that I had to be careful all the time, not from them To be run over when I took photos on or next to the stage. In any case, I always had great respect for artistic performance - it is not as easy as jumping around like a rubber ball and singing or playing an instrument at the same time. "

To the song More of it from the album A little bit of horror show Campino regularly climbed into the light structure above the stage. At the open-air concert in the old town of Winterthur he ended up climbing in the pastor's attic apartment, stole objects and threw them into the audience, for which he later apologized with a donation in kind in the form of 300 hymn books for the community.

The stage decoration, designed by Michael Roman , consisted of a curtain in the background of colorful skulls. Roman also designed the tour posters, tickets and t-shirts that were sold during the tour. The imprint mostly consisted of dancing skeletons in bright colors. The promo single We Love You , a cover version of the song The Rolling Stones , B-side More of it , was released for the tour , limited to 700 pieces. In addition, the band brought out their own magazine under the motto: Rock Sensation Presents: Everything about Die Toten Hosen - people, animals, sensations , which you could buy at the stalls during the concert evenings.

Press

Edgar Klüsener from Metal Hammer described Die Toten Hosen in 1992 as follows: “What makes the Düsseldorfers stand out from the crowd of their colleagues is also the shrewd waiver of 'claims', without which some honest German rockers would not dare to go on stage or in the studio would. To this day, no one has managed to conclusively define a 'claim', but somehow it is part of good manners in every situation in the old and new federal states. The punk rockers on the Rhine, on the other hand, let themselves be guided far too much by their moods and inspirations, relying on freshness, (life) lust, on Dada and on chaos, on (self) irony, nonsense and occasionally ingenious situation comedy in a refreshing slapstick manner . "

Steve Körner wrote in the Musikexpress of May 1992 about the sold-out concert in Leipzig's exhibition hall 1 that “because of the lousy acoustics of the texts, there was no word to be understood”, but that didn't matter to the people. "They jump, jump and party from the first bar, otherwise they know every line by heart anyway and shout it enthusiastically," he writes. What the band in Leipzig would lack in sonic brilliance, they would have made up for through increased commitment.
