Nico's Last Concert: Fata Morgana is a live album by Nico, released on 22 February 1994. It documents her performance at a show called Fata Morgana – Wüstenklänge im Planetarium (Fata Morgana – Desert Sounds in the Planetarium), held on June 6, 1988 in West Berlin as part of the European Capital of Culture festival that year. The concert (organized by musician Lütz Ulbrich) took place at the planetarium of the Wilhelm-Foerster-Sternwarte. Except for the album's closing song (which was previously released on The End...), Nico and her backing band the Faction composed all the pieces specifically for the show, during which they were accompanied by optical effects and Moon-themed projected pictures and films.
The concert was Nico's last, and the material on the album is among the last she wrote. Six weeks later, on July 18, she died while on vacation in Ibiza.
