The song is the only one from
Herzeleid that wasn't played live in its demo form in the Saalfeld concert in New Year's Eve 1994-1995 [http://rammsteinniccage.com/concerts/shows/123194.html] . Its first recorded performance was in December 16th, 1995 in Freiwalde, Germany; but probably it was part of the main setlist during the entire Herzeleid tour. When played live, smoke covers the stage during the final chorus and the microphones' stands burn.It was played in most of the concerts for theHerzeleid ,Sehnsucht andMutter tours. Initially, it didn't make it intoReise, Reise tour setlist, but it was played again in May 2005, replacing "Rein, Raus" and continued in the setlists until the end of the tour. It's one of the few Rammstein songs that is shortened when played live.Tracklisting
