Career

Lindenberg began his musical career as a drummer. He formed his first band Free Orbit in 1969 and performed as a studio and guest performer (with Michael Naura and Knut Kiesewetter). In 1970, he collaborated in Munich as a drummer with jazz saxophonist Klaus Doldinger. Passport, a Doldinger-founded band, released its first album in 1971, with Lindenberg on drums. He also performed drums for the theme tune for the German TV series Tatort. In 1971, the first album by the jazz rock band Emergency was released, but it met with little commercial success.

The LP Lindenberg (also 1971, sung in English) was also unsuccessful, with Steffi Stephan on bass. In the following year, Daumen im Wind, produced by Lindenberg and Thomas Kukuck (who also co-produced Lindenberg's next five albums), was released in German, and it became a radio hit in northern Germany. Andrea Doria's album and singles "Alles clear on die Andrea Doria" and "Cello" make a breakthrough in the year 1973. Lindenberg quickly became the most expensive recording contract of any German-language artist up to that time, with over 100,000 copies sold. Lindenberg was gaining a unique niche in 1970s German-language music, focusing on internationally oriented Krautrock and mainstream pop music of the Schlager variety. Historically, German-language rock had been restricted to mostly political message bands, whose music was targeted at a small audience.

Lindenberg's brash style, everyday subject matter ("Bei Onkel Pö"), and his love for words were an unexpected pairing in German-language music. His pioneering work gained international attention for artists like Stefan Waggershausen and Marius Müller-Westernhagen. Lindenberg performed with his Panikorchester Orchestra in 1973.

1976 was one of Lindenberg's most productive years. In addition to the LP Galaxo Gang, he also released a song under the name Das Waldemar Syndicat (I make you feel well), the first Best of Panik Udo and the first in a series of foreign-language releases, on which Lindenberg translated his songs into English. Lindenberg first mentioned a Panic Orchestra tour of the GDR in the same year (and on another LP: Sister King Kong). Lindenberg discovered Ulla Meinecke in 1976 and released her first two albums. She was a guest artist and co-author of the 1977 Panische Nächte (Panic Nights) and the 1978 Dröhnland Symphonie. Lindenberg' Rock Revue (1978), Lindenberg and Horst Königstein "Germanized" rock classics from Little Richard to The Beatles and The Rolling Stones, and went on a huge tour. The number one hit "We Gotta Get Out of This Place" was also released with German lyrics.

Peter Zadek's second Dröhnland-Tour exhibition was staged as a major multimedia stage performance with a slew of costumed extras. Livehaftig, Lindenberg's first live album. Der Detektiv, 1979, was the second Rock Revue, featuring Elton John's "Born to Be Wild," "My Little Town" and "As Time Goes By" (from the film Casablanca). "Belcanto - Udo Lindenberg & das Deutsche Filmorchester Babelsberg," a hit for "Bis ans Ende der Welt," Bertold Brecht and Lindenberg's own version of "Under the drunkard moon" ("Unterm Säuferment") (lyrics: Lindenberg, Horst Königstein).

"Sonderzug nach Pankow," an interpretation of "Chattanooga Choo Choo," was released as a single on February 2, 1983, one of Lindenberg's most popular songs is "Sonderzug nach Pankow." It came from eastern German authorities' refusal to allow Lindenberg to perform in the GDR. Lindenberg was finally allowed to perform for 15 minutes in the Palace of the Republic in East Berlin on October 25, 1983. On his visit to Wuppertal, Germany, Erich Honecker, then East German king, presented a custom Ibanez guitar to the then-East German king.

Lindenberg unplugged at Kampnagel on June 3, 2011. The album was later released as an album within the MTV Unplugged collection. Lindenberg was the eighth German artist in the series. The album debuted as the second No. 2 in the United States. Lindenberg's first album was released on January 1st, and after two weeks, it was awarded platinum status for 200,000 units. "Cello" is the second single from the album "Feat." Clueso (Wolf) came in No. 4 on the polls. Lindenberg earned the highest chart position in German singles charts ever, with four of them at the top of the charts.

Lindenberg has collaborated with many local and international recording artists, including Eric Burdon, Helen Schneider, David Bowie, Tom Robinson, Keith Forsey, Gianna Nannini, Ellen ten Damme and Nena, on a variety of projects. He lives in Hamburg, Germany, (for many years). The reason for his somewhat hoarse voice is a mixture of excessive alcohol and cigarettes. He survived a heart attack in 1989. For the Deutsche Post, he created two postage stamps based on his songs "Andrea Doria" and "Sonderzug nach Pankow."

Lindenberg's first stadium tour in Germany has been announced for 2014.

A exhibition entitled "Porsche.Power" in Zuffenhausen ran from 1 February to 2 April 2015 and featured many items from Lindenberg's private collection. Lindenberg opened the exhibit with a live performance in the museum.
