Being the last concert of the Nordic leg of The Mix Tour, it was also the most dedicated one of this leg. A new improvisation part in Computer Love and a new intro in Tour De France were added by Ralf. He played his own high notes with a pad towards the end of Computer Love. The main melody of Tour De France was played with a pad as well in the new intro which is still used nowadays. Afterwards, the sequence of what was the old intro followed. They did another concert a day earlier in Oslo, but it's not clear whether these changes were introduced in Oslo or in Copenhagen because there's no recording of Oslo as of now. Before continuing with Autobahn, Ralf commented to this song with a "We play a song from 1974". Strangely, the car sounds are missing in the intro. They either didn't get recorded or they themselves forgot to play these sounds. After this song, there comes a song that will be affected in the by a change in the next concerts like Computer Love and Tour De France. During the instrumental part, Fritz did a little beat drop, but that's not about the change. Usually, there's a pluck that sounds a bit like a guitar, and Fernando and Henning always manipulated that pluck with a delay effect. In Munich, that pluck got replaced by a acid bass, but it returned in Ludwigsburg, although partially. That change may have been already introduced in Leipzip, the first concert in a (former) East German city, but like Oslo, it's not known because there's no recording of it. Tbe most spectacular highlights of this concert are the techno bass sequence in Pocket Calculator and the sounds, Florian played in Music Non Stop. The (in)famous techno bass was actually introduced in Helsinki and was used until Henning replaced it in Ludwigsburg with a bass sequence that kinda sounds like a hardbass throughout the whole song. The techno bass sequence is only known for this concert because it's one of the most popular concerts from The Mix Tour. Last, but not least, in Music Non Stop, Florian used a sound that was present in the original album version of Boing Boom Tschak. He used it never again in this tour. He used that laser machine gun sound too. I don't know if I remember correctly, but I heard him even using the normal machine gun sound that he used in the UK leg in Manchester and in the 2nd night of London. There was another beat drop done by Fritz in Florian's solo. These improvisations made this concert the most dedicated and as a consequence also a highly enjoyable concert to listen to.
For a dedicated concert, there should definitely be a high quality recording and fortunately, there is one. It has high fidelity, a high frequency range and most importantly, all songs which is sadly not the case for Stockholm and Lund. The recording sounded weak and flat, so I sharpened it and boosted the kick drum and the bass, although much less than the kick drum. Now it has a strong and sharp sound and it almost sounds like an official live album, but there are some flaws to it. The kick drum couldn't be boosted without boosting the bass at the same time. When boosting the bass too much, the middle and the high frequencies get quiet which would turn it less into a home remaster and more into a downgrade. I didn't know how to boost the kick drum properly, so I did that mistake when I tried to remaster it last year (as of the date when it got premiered in 2022). The treble seems to sound slightly distorted in The Robots and Robotronik, and there's a scratch during The Robots. Despite these minor flaws, it's still one of the best recordings alongside Milano, the first night of Hamburg and Zürich.
