Rammstein - Live aus Berlin (1999)
The Rammstein - Live aus Berlin DVD is a compilation of two live concerts filmed at Berlin's open-air Parkbühne ("park stage") Wuhlheide in August 1998. The DVD offers 17 of the band's songs, most of which are found on the two CD albums "Sehnsucht" and "Herzeleid." The show itself is a very entertaining performance with plenty of the usual stunts, pyrotechnics, and lighting effects you'd expect from an industrial metal band.

Purely Joyful Movie!
Memorable, crazy movie
The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.
Rammstein is one of those landmark bands that change the course of music. Now that sounds inflated but it isn't. Rammstein is about pure truth, pure expression. These are not entertainers. Sounds like the easiest thing in the world. Truth. Honesty. But obviously music has so long been about image, genre, self-aggrandizing losers. We had almost collectively forgotten what truth in music exactly is.Its such a revelation to the music world that almost all music seems false, incorrect positivism, ego driven crap. Rammsteins mere presence on the scene makes most music today impossible to listen to for those with a clue.Its true artists that connect with the audience and take their darkness, trauma, depression, pain, and weave it into art. That is exactly Rammstein. And this is Rammstein at their darkest. This is a band that will bleed for you literally. This is no performance or act, this is an artist bleeding on stage. If that doesn't inspire you, if that doesn't make you want to stand up and be counted, I don't know what will. In every song Till is right there fighting your demons for you. Bringing them to the surface so you can see them. Pure genius, pure artistry. The best band in the history of rock and roll.Heres to Rammstein and Till Lindemann.
This DVD shows the pure power of a Rammstein performance. The energy of Till and the rest of the band explodes through the tv, in a totally outstanding performance.Having seen these guys live myself, I can say that the video leaves out nothing... from the first song "Speil Mit Mir" they don't stop!Superbly filmed and edited, this is a must see for Rammstein fans.
Get the CD instead. The show is tame, and the editing sucks. The crowd gets way too much screen time, as does Till Lindemann. The cameras spend more time on the same kid shaking his head around in the same way (which leads me to believe it's the exact same shot) than they do during Richard Kruspe's solo in Weisses Fleisch. The scenes change so quickly it's impossible to tell where the camera is pointed, and the replays are simply redundant. Not worth the tape it's recorded on.
Definetly one of the best hard rock live shows I have seen. Loud and entertaining...it seems the Germans know how to rock, with a capital R! They are now one of my top 3 heavy metal bands. One thing is for certain...if you can't watch this movie with the volume cranked on a stereo...don't bother
