What an amazing song this is, and what a wonderful amount of class Nena shows in introducing the song's composer, and having him sit in. She's still got the voice, and the moves, and everything that has made us remember _this_ Cold War classic.
❤❤❤❤Danke für den Song und den Weltfrieden und für Afrika 🌍 und für alle Menschen der.Welt und die Welt 🗺 und Tunesien 🇹🇳 und Afrika 🌍 und USA 🇺🇸 ❤❤😂❤❤❤❤❤
I was on a skiing holiday in Austria in 1983 when the original German language single came out and it was being played in all the local clubs/discos...and even then (and not speaking German) I knew it would be a "hit"....and of course some months later, Nena made an English language version and the rest is history. Am so glad she is still performing and singing well... :-)
I've heard Casey Kasem's AT-40 FLASHBACK from the '80's and one week he played the English version and said they would play the German version next week. Another time I heard him play a version that they spliced together in English and German. Pretty cool considering the time it took to do that back then. Today it would be easier with Pro Tools.
Been in love with the sound of this lady's voice for over 30 years.. She's still got it, I'm glad to say. And, yes, she's still a pretty lady. Miss the old band though.
Happy 61st Birthday. Gabriele Susanne Kerner 24 March 1960 Hagen, West Germany. When I think of the great singers of the 80's. I always have her in my top 10 list. Danke Nena.
It's cool when artists perform their respective old "Hits",and get the audience involved. What's funny is,after all those years,the audience generally remembers the lyrics better than the artist does.
I was only 7 or 8 yrs old when this song came out in 83...saw this video and absolutely loved this song as a child..because of the sound and she was so beautiful (and still is..damm they age well) but now as an adult and knowing the true meaning of this song .ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT EVEN MORE
Ich liebe dich, Nena! Native English speaking American here, but had to try the German out of respect and love. Such a great song! Still loving it in 2020. Cannot understand the words very well but I love it so much more than the English version, like many others do.
@@rustym.shackelford5546 good luck 👍 lucky I left California back in 2008 to move to Germany 🇩🇪 now I speak great german. You won’t be able to learn it if you don’t embrace it everyday
@@YonatanLidar I'm currently going to Louisiana and I'm thinking of re-enlisting into The US Army full time. Maybe knowing German will help if I'm one day stationed there.
I love to see Nena, sing a song that left its mark on my world, in my country, in Chile. She is still a beautiful woman, as I remember her, and she carries a lot of love from me, from that period and from this new and fresh period. Although you may never have known, I love you Nena, you were always on my heart!
I remember when this song first came out and I heard it on the radio. It was one of those songs that made you stop whatever you were doing to just listen.
4:56 She's saying "I think of you Carlo" in reference to Carlo Karges the band's guitarist and main song writer who wrote the lyrics to the song (Uwe wrote the music) who sadly died in 2002.
Even though I don't understand german much. This song always made me feel sad and emotional. After hearing someone directly translate it to English I finally understood why. Meaning of the story, they did such an amazing job portraying the emotions in this song that not even the language barrier was enough to dull its message
Interesting enough she never performed the English version again after the 80s, there are English covers by Kylie Minogue, Goldfinger, Alizee and others but not by Nena herself
Man , oh man do I love this video. I am in love with Nena. And I think the reason is because of the love she displays ALL THE TIME. Uwe was in fact an original member, but he has been around for Nena's entire, unbelievably successful career. He has co-written many beautiful pieces, and here he is, traveling half-way around the world for a show with his friend. I am so glad he did. I hadn't rediscovered Nena when this was performed, but if she EVER gets back to America. I WILL BE THERE!!!
@@gp. Yes, of course. Quite the talent. My only point is that all these decades later, its nice to see that he and Nena are still pals. That's nice, no?
On MTV in the 80’s this was a standout song. Her voice and German accent were so cool, and she looks like she barely aged a day. In recent years I’ve been to Berlin a few times and I can hear this song playing in my memory😀
So eine lebensfrohe Person, die nicht nur schöne Zeiten durchlebt hatt. Und trotzdem hatt sie ihr gutes Herz und ihre fröhliche Art behalten... Genau so wie ich ❤
So sad I missed this show, Nina right here in NYC. I was friends with the bass player, and he never let me know they were coming! Found out like that day....he did get me many autographs but I still would love to meet her one day!
Jörn-Uwe Fahrenkrog-Petersen thanks for your iconic keyboard rift. I love seeing the OB-6 he is playing from several years ago. I have the new Oberheim OB-X8 and what a beautiful beast it is. I hope Tom Oberheim gave him one. He deserves it. I played the pads and rift with it from 99 Luft Balloons and it sounds just like a classic Oberheim to me. I could not afford one in high school back in the 1980s so I did not have any of the old Oberheims.
I saw her do the same thing last week at her concert in Berlin. Also, when she sang “Leuchtturm” she broke into “Blitzkrieg Bop.” I later read that she cites the Ramones as one of her musical influences.
IM UNIVERSAL, I LISTEN TO LOTS OF DIFFERENT MUSIC... AMAZING SONG. AWESOME VERSION... IM A HUGE ROCK AND ROLL FAN...IM 43 STILL LOVE MY ROCK AND ROLL...ROCK ON MAN!
Thank you Nena and your great band for giving the world such a beautifully perfected pop rock anthem...and congratulations for being Musicians Institutes' 1st success story. Love how you tied in Hey Jude...very classy ! :)
Músicas dos anos 80 ainda não foram superadas em pleno 2019 quase 2020, nasci na década certa tinha 4 anos quando gravaram e estou ouvindo aqui em 16/11/2019
Vielen Dank, dass Sie ein nostalgisch wertvolles Video hochgeladen haben. Als Student habe ich dieses Lied oft in einer Fernsehsendung namens "MTV" gehört.

There should be a festival where just all the artists from the 80’s play 🎶
C’est jm
Tha is a excellent idea 👍👍

She is and always has been a class act. NENA.
True, there are SEVERAL video's that have come out YEARS after this one and she sounds fantastic on all of them.
@@johnegli1308 Yes she has...and her and band were Musicians Institutes 1st success story.

I like the German version better
@@gp. I got lucky. I took a broadcasting course and skipped the old school cutting tape. I would have probably not done so well. 🤣
It is awesome how music so many times brings the whole world together in unity. Thanks for sharing from Tampa Bay Florida, USA.
She's like a fine wine only gets better with age.
my wife is like milk.........
@@Rage_Benny lmao
Rage_Benny lol
@@Rage_Benny 😂😂😂
@@Rage_Benny hahaha, that's hilarious.
I was 17 when this came out her and Joan Jett were my idols. Love this song 🎵❤
I also turned 17 in 83
I was 10! But still loved this beautiful song!👍👌👊♥️
You also consider Nena to be the Joan Jett of Germany? So do I!
that is her real voice she aint lip singing !!! she rocked this oldie banger like a pro !!!! clearly got the W!!!
One of the best songs in the 80's. Thanks to Nena
Oh man...She stole my heart AGAIN
Almost cry when I knew she was in NY, bucket list!
Mine too
She owns mine...
She never gave mine back.
Nena still looks fabulous.
60years!! this Fraulein is Immortal! how is this possible? Look at her body, face, energy?
Yep! I'm falling in love 💓😻!
It’s Germany, they eat alot better then Americans.
@@tanyaarchuleta8156 This joke is too sharp and witty for our circus...
@@vadzimaleksandrovic337 okay?
@@tanyaarchuleta8156 Absolutely 👌!
And now its 2020 and she is still a Big Star in Germany.
GOD BLESS HER... SHE LOOKS FANTASTIC... DOING WHAT YOU LOVE YOU NEVER WORK A DAY IN YOUR LIFE... MORE POWER TO THIS BEAUTIFUL SOUL...
Is she married,these two are her kids wright,or is she divorced,yes she is damn good singer and still beautiful,greetings from slovenia
@@gp. ok thank you very much,didnt know that
Nena never ages she still looks like she is in her 20’s
She had a few things done, which she has said herself on German TV
but I believe without the few things she would still look great :)
Ser Bronn of the Blackwater would still...... and i think so would you and i :)
Smooth armpits 😀
If a 20 year old looked like her I would wonder what was wrong with them. She looks great for almost 60, but as far as a 20 something
She’s a Vampyr.
Happy Birthday to Gabriele Susanne Kerner. 60 years young, today.
I was in the audience!! My first Nena concert (and hopefully not the last) She's awesome!!!
Sana all...
You are lucky 😉
Dope
Time has been VERY kind to her

from when I first heard this song as a child in 1980s...it opens magic in my soul
If there's one song that reminds me of the 80's and the times it's this song
Reminds me of my house parties at
161 e 34 th st LOS Angeles Ca 90011 in the 80s with DJ’s like Endless ,JESSY and Tommy
I was only 7 or 8 yrs old when this song came out in 83...saw this video and absolutely loved this song as a child..because of the sound and she was so beautiful (and still is..damm they age well) but now as an adult and knowing the true meaning of this song .ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT EVEN MORE
She looks 30!! incredible, voice is the same still too.
Truth. Hasn’t aged. One bit

The years have been kind to Nena - she looks hotter now than she did 30 years ago.
60 on March-24-2020 and still gorgeous.
The moment you realize she hasn't aged a day
I remember when this song first came out and I heard it on the radio. It was one of those songs that made you stop whatever you were doing to just listen.
Linda es nena tan hermosa como su propia canción te admiro y me gustas mucho.
Her smile during this. Tells the story. Very happy beautiful woman. Gabriel

@@maremagnus excellent!!!! That's the way it should be. 🙂
there is only the German version of 99 Luftballons... ;)
I like to think that this song saved the world at that time
She's about 55 years old here but looks 35
23 or 56 still one of the hottest girls in music, Thank you, Nena (Gabriele Susanne Kerner) !
She really is!
Ach Susu wie geht's dir
Agreed, but she's no Aamie Mann...
she´s not aging at all, awsome !
Must run in the family. Her sister has aged well too.

Damn I missed Nena by nearly 3 years. I would have even gone to shitty New York just to see her. Damn it. Favorite band and artist from the 80s!
I love Nena
I remember him the amazing Synthesizer player in the song
OMG!! I'm still in love with you after almost 30 years!;
My mother was 3 when this came out. Sounds great though.
Always loved her voice and her look....

NENA is the Best. I love her naturally art....Her new Album "Licht" (Light) is a great Album. Trendy, very hot
What a beauty!
So eine lebensfrohe Person, die nicht nur schöne Zeiten durchlebt hatt. Und trotzdem hatt sie ihr gutes Herz und ihre fröhliche Art behalten... Genau so wie ich ❤
Nena! Had you stuck in my head for days now!!!
Still, smokin’ hot! Missing the 80s.......and the 70s, and the 60s to be honest.
Brings me straight back to a 13 yo kid in the 80's :)
Awesome show, 2nd row!! Great to see Uwe with her. She is still so hot!!!!

Deutsche neue welle at its best
Me, because it's one of the greatest songs ever.
Una canzone fra le più famose di una cantante tedesca Nena
She never ages just
I love this song! And I love Nena!
I was stationed in Germany when this was a hit.
And I’m here in 2022!!!!!
Everything is beautiful about her; the voice, the moves, the presence on stage and the lady itself... Respect
no wonder she is still a" NENA" From El Salvador with all my heart!!🎈🎈🎈
Nena havent lost her very nice voice and energy!!!! Amazing!!!!
No, but she's lost her underarm hair which is a tragedy :)
Listening in 2020. Amazing song!!
Je suis là après visionnage du karambolage sur cette chanson, süper :) Un bon succès en France pour cette chanson aussi !
How I missed that!!! My first crush and one of my favorites songs ever!!!!

Where is another members? How r they live? As I know it, Drummer was her boyfriend.
The Hey Jude moment was totally unexpected, outstanding!
You should hear her sit down live doing Ruby Tuesday.
I saw her do the same thing last week at her concert in Berlin. Also, when she sang “Leuchtturm” she broke into “Blitzkrieg Bop.”
I later read that she cites the Ramones as one of her musical influences.
Dam Nena still looking Beautiful still in love with her
I can see my gray hair, thanks for posting, was hell of a show
It's like she came back straight from 83
In a Delorian?
I really love this song brings back to my high school days
Rock it! Best German version und part of the synthpop history of all times.
I love you Nena
IM UNIVERSAL, I LISTEN TO LOTS OF DIFFERENT MUSIC... AMAZING SONG. AWESOME VERSION... IM A HUGE ROCK AND ROLL FAN...IM 43 STILL LOVE MY ROCK AND ROLL...ROCK ON MAN!

Ive seen vids where she sings German, French and English and it so flawless...pure amazing. I can barely get through English and Im Scottish (lol)
Great version! Big Fan of Nena
Saw her while stationed in Wurzburg in '84...Spent 3 1/2 years in Germany. FTA! but loved Europe!
Thank you Nena and your great band for giving the world such a beautifully perfected pop rock anthem...and congratulations for being Musicians Institutes' 1st success story. Love how you tied in Hey Jude...very classy ! :)
Oh! I was young when i listened this song. May be 18 or 19 years old.
It's Always wonderfull, i love it so much and all other songs.
