Normally I'm not a huge Rammstein fan at all, but I like a good deal of their songs and they are probably one of the most original bands in the music history. You can't really talk about originality on a live album, but it's probably the most important thing with this German band and I couldn't write this review without mentioning it. My German is more than limited; I understand maybe ten words on this album, but still I can't get enough of Till Lindemann's complete charisma. German sure has to be one of the most brutal languages in the world and it fits more than perfect with the music. The rhythm of the music is monotonous and evil and the keyboards are industrial and spooky. All instruments sure provide a lot to the originality of Rammstein.
Otherwise I can't say anything else but that Live Aus Berlin is the perfect live album for me. Everything is as it should be - all my favourites are featured, the performance is flawless, the production is raw and cold and still gives a great live feeling. And of course the audience is great - Rammstein plus Berlin is a combination that can't be anything else than perfect. Hearing every single person of the crowd sing along in songs like 'Engel' and 'Du Hast' is shivering and can't be compared too many other live albums I know.
All things mentioned above, especially the audience and the perfect tracklist should be enough for me to give this album 10/10, but then, I just like the music very much, which isn't really the same thing as loving it. Still I am very, very impressed and I have to say that 'Live Aus Berlin' is one of the best live albums ever.

A great live, I love it... Asche Zu Asche live is always a pleasure!

Is one of my absolute favorite live albums/DVDs. The charisma that rammstein evokes is probably the reason why I love this band so much. I also agree that the tracklist is a huge highlight. Not a single song missing here from their golden period.

Its the first R+ concert that saw in video.. awsome concert to me! even though my first concert was in the Mutter tour, and that later I went to Nimes in 2005, I'm still a Herzeleid-Sehnsucht era type of person.. so I just love this live..
