Bück Dich was omitted from the original DVD release as during its performance frontman Till Lindemann engaged in simulated anal sex with keyboard player Christian Lorenz, complete with a dildo that squirted water. The performances led to a fine and a night in jail for Lorenz and Lindemann.
The band are known for their overly theatrical live shows, often involving enormous props, flamethrowers, BDSM gear and mind-boggling combinations of all three. Fore example, During the Mutter tour the group descended onto the stage from a giant uterus while wearing diapers. While performing Engel, Lindemann (a qualified pyrotechnician) dons enormous metal wings, fitted with flamethrowers.
A shorter version of the concert film has been made available on YouTube (unsurprisingly, without Bück Dich…). Take a look below:
