The LP Lindenberg (also 1971, sung in English, with Steffi Stephan on bass) was likewise unsuccessful.
Lindenberg's brash style, everyday subject matter ("Bei Onkel Pö…") and his feel for language were an unprecedented combination in German-language music. His pioneering work helped other artists such as Stefan Waggershausen and Marius Müller-Westernhagen get record deals of their own. In 1973, Lindenberg first went on tour with his Panikorchester (Panic Orchestra).
1976 was one of Lindenberg's most productive years. Besides the LP Galaxo Gang,

One of Lindenberg's most famous songs is "Sonderzug nach Pankow" (Special train service to Pankow), an adaptation of "Chattanooga Choo Choo", released as a single on 2 February 1983.[4] It originated from the refusal of eastern German authorities to allow Lindenberg to perform in the GDR.[5] It was forbidden to play the song in the GDR.[6][7] On 25 October 1983, Lindenberg was finally allowed to perform for 15 minutes in the Palace of the Republic in East Berlin.[8][9] In September 1987, he presented a custom Ibanez guitar to the then East German leader, Erich Honecker, during his visit to the West German city of Wuppertal.[5][10]

For 2014, Lindenberg announced his first stadium tour[18] in Germany.
From 1 February to 2 April 2015, an exhibition entitled "Porsche.Panic.Power" took place in the Porsche Museum in Zuffenhausen and showed numerous items from Lindenberg's private collection. Lindenberg opened the exhibition with a concert in the museum.[19]
In February 2023, "Komet", his track with rapper Apache 207, reached number one in the German single charts, which is Lindenberg's first number one single in German charts.[20][21][22]

Seit 1995 soll Udo Lindenberg einen Privatflügel im zweiten Stock des Hamburger Hotels Atlantic bewohnen. Seit 26 Jahren gab es immer mal Gerüchte, der Panikrocker wäre ausgezogen. Tatsächlich soll der heute 75-Jährige wohl nur während eines Hotel-Lockdowns im Zuge der Corona-Krise 2020 das Haus verlassen haben.
