“Game away” – documentary series about Toten Hosen’s secret concert in the ARD media library
In fact, there are still stories from divided Germany that are hardly known. Like Toten Hosen’s secret concert in East Berlin in 1983:
“To play illegally in East Berlin, bypassing all the authorities, was certainly something we definitely did not want to lose.”
Quotes from the series
At the Church of the Savior, Toten Hosen casually played in front of a fairly small audience, along with the East Berlin punk band. If the Stasi and the police had found out, the consequences would have been clear:
“If they had picked us up there, everyone would have had their pants on and we would have gone straight to jail.”
Quotes from the series
The three-part documentary series “Auswartspiel” is not only about this spectacular concert, but also about the punk scene in East Germany. While “Toten Hosen”‘s career really gained momentum after the concert, Ostband was accidentally forced to disband. Original documentaries of that time appear in the documentary series for the first time. All three episodes can be seen in the ARD media center for three months.
