text: # Live in Dortmund II
  
  Live in Dortmund II is the 10th live album by the German hard rock band Böhse Onkelz. It was released on 26 May 2017 by the band-owned label Matapaloz. The predecessor Live in Dortmund was published in 1997.
  
  ## Content
  
  The album contains cuts from the band's live performances at the Dortmunder Westfalenhalle on 24 and 25 November 2016 during their Memento tour. Both concerts had an attendance of approximately 15,000 people.
  
  ## Cover artwork
  
  The cover is mostly blue and shows the band's guitarist Matthias Röhr, leaning forward, standing in the spotlight. His guitar touches the ground. In the upper half of the cover is the typical Böhse Onkelz lettering in white, and in the lower half the album's title is featured in blue.
  
  ## Critical reception
  
  Manuel Berger of laut.de gave the album 3 out of 5 stars. The band plays in top form, he says, especially Kevin Russell, whose vocals prove that he has recovered fully health- and voicewise. But he was missing the songs "Der Junge mit dem Schwefelholz" and "Nach allen Regeln der Sucht" from the new studio album Memento, while he identifies the ballads "Wieder mal nen Tag verschenkt" and "Wo auch immer wir stehen" as the weaker songs.
  
  ## Chart performance
  
  Live in Dortmund II entered the German albums chart on 2 June 2017 on no. 3 and stayed in the top 100 for twelve weeks. In Austria, the album peaked at no. 4 and in Switzerland at no. 8. In the 2017 Germany year-end albums chart, Live in Dortmund II placed no. 84.
