Information
- The single was released exclusively in Australia in 2001, to promote the Big Day Out concerts in 2001, while the promotional releases were given out in 1999 to promote the release of Live aus Berlin.
- The same year the album Sehnsucht was released as a tour edition, which included the single as a bonus CD.
- All live tracks on the single are taken from Live aus Berlin.
- There is a bit of confusion about the release of the single. While it was released in 2001 exclusively in Australia, the German and Mexican promotional CDs are dated to 1999. Additionally a German 2-track CD is available, that has no promotional text on it, which is also dated to 1999. It is unknown if this is a misprint, or if the single was released commercially with 2 tracks in Germany.
- The German promotional sheet indicates that the 2-track single was indeed released in Germany, on 30 August 1999. But since the single is missing the barcode, it is possible that it was a free give-away when purchasing a copy of Live aus Berlin, and was not available to be bought separately.
Promotion
While being an Australia exclusive release, there were 2-track promotional releases in Germany and Mexico. While Germany also had a standard single jewelcase, Mexico got a digifile packaging. The German promotional CD also included an A4 promotional sheet.
The promotional sheet presented the following text:
German original |
---|
Rammstein dort, wo sie am besten, wo sie am intensivsten wirken. Dort, wo sie nicht ignoriert, nicht abgeschaltet und definitiv nicht mißverstanden werden können: Rammstein auf der Bühne! |
English Deepl translation |

Rammstein there, where they work best, where they work most intensively. There, where they cannot be ignored, cannot be switched off and definitely cannot be misunderstood: Rammstein on stage! |
