Live Story
Since its release, "Asche zu Asche" has been a staple in Rammstein's live shows. It is the only Rammstein song to have been played in every one of the band's tours. During performances the microphone stands would be set on fire near the end of the song and clouds of smoke would cover the stage. The song was played at almost every concert from 1995 to 2002. Initially it wasn't played during the Reise, Reise tour, but it was included again by the end of February 2005, ultimately replacing "Rein, Raus" in the setlists. More recently, "Asche zu Asche" has been absent during most of the Liebe ist für alle da tour, but has made some rare appearances in Germany and Denmark, replacing the song Ich tu dir weh, which was indexed by the German Bundesprüfstelle für jugendgefährdende Medien. During these performances, the effects used for Ich tu dir weh are used, which means the flaming stand has not been used. In the current Made In Germany 1995-2011 Tour, the song is again on the setlist.

Famous quotes containing the words live and/or story:
“The more I live here in western Europe, the more I am impressed by the sense of decay;Mnot the graceful and dignified decay of an oriental, but the vulgar and sordid decay of a bankrupt cotton-mill.”
—Henry Brooks. Adams (1838–1918)
“Civilization is a stream with banks. The stream is sometimes filled with blood from people killing, stealing, shouting and doing the things historians usually record, while on the banks, unnoticed, people build homes, make love, raise children, sing songs, write poetry and even whittle statues. The story of civilization is the story of what happened on the banks. Historians are pessimists because they ignore the banks for the river.”
—Will Durant (1885–1981)
