Live aus Berlin
Live concert recording by German band Rammstein from 1998.
Live aus Berlin is a concert recording by the German Neue Deutsche Härte band Rammstein, performed in 1998 and released the following year. The release features live performances of nearly every song from the band's debut album Herzeleid and most tracks from their second album Sehnsucht, along with a full-band rendition of the b-side "Wilder Wein." The performance of "Bück dich" proved controversial due to its mimed portrayal of anal sex with a water-squirting dildo, leading to an 18 certificate in Europe and censorship on the first DVD release.

Track listing
The audio cassette version splits the tracks: Side A contains tracks 1 through 8, and Side B contains tracks 9 through 15. Some editions include a hidden track in the pregap, accessible by rewinding about 58 seconds before track 1. The DVD version adds a subtitled 1997 interview with the band members discussing Rammstein in general, along with a multi-angle area featuring the songs Tier, Du hast, and Rammstein. A two-stage quiz is accessible through PCs. Entering '23' anywhere on the main menu of the original DVD via the number pad feature plays the music video for Stripped, a cover of the Depeche Mode song also featured as a bonus track on Rammstein's second album Sehnsucht. Winning the second part of the quiz provides a weblink and secret password to download a Rammstein screensaver, though the webpage is no longer available.
