The album was recorded during her concert as part of the Between the Earth and the Stars Live Tour at the Admiralspalast in Berlin on 8 May 2019, with the set list including songs from her albums Natural Force (1978), Faster Than the Speed of Night (1983), Secret Dreams and Forbidden Fire (1986), Hide Your Heart (1988), Rocks and Honey (2013), and Between the Earth and the Stars (2019). The album failed to chart worldwide.
Background and release
Tyler announced plans to release a live album in March 2020. Two concerts from her Between the Earth and the Stars Live Tour were recorded; the 20 May show at L'Olympia in Paris was filmed and released as a concert film through Canal+ in 2020. In Berlin was originally set for release on 5 April 2024, but its release date was delayed by three weeks.
The album was formally announced on 21 March 2024. "Faster Than the Speed of Night" was released as the first single on 22 March 2024. "Let's Go Crazy Tonight" and "Bad for Loving You" followed as the second and third singles on 12 April and 25 July, respectively.
Tyler described the release as "bittersweet" because In Berlin was recorded "not long before the pandemic started". She described the concert as "a great show [and] a great night". She later expressed that she felt the audience sounded too quiet in the final mix of the recording.
Critical reception
Writing for The Spill Magazine, Aaron Badgley commended Tyler's ability to "present herself and her music in a very different light on stage", concluding that In Berlin is "further proof of her incredible ability to touch souls with her songs and voice". musikmag.de described In Berlin as a collection of "well-crafted" rock, pop and blues songs. Hans Korte of pop-himmel.de viewed the album as "an excellent live document that impressively demonstrates [Tyler's] versatility".
