Live – Nach uns die Sintflut

Live – Nach uns die Sintflut [Devil may care; lit: After us the Great Flood] is the eighth album by Die Ärzte. It is their first live album, released on triple vinyl and double CD, just before the band disbanded.

The band risked with this album being indexed because of a third sequel of Claudia (Debil - "Claudia hat 'nen Schäferhund" [indexed]; Ab 18 - "Claudia II") and the bonus single featuring the indexed "Geschwisterliebe", sung entirely by fans while the band played.

The album featured many songs written especially to be played live, such as "Madonnas Dickdarm", "Claudia", "Ich bin wild" and "Uns geht's prima". "Madonnas Dickdarm" and "Claudia" (as "Claudia III", shortened) were later released on Das Beste von kurz nach früher bis jetze, along with "Blumen" and "Elke".

The first "Sprüche" is on this album. "Sprüche II" is found on Wir wollen nur deine Seele, the only other 2-CD live album by Die Ärzte. "Sprüche III" was released as the B-side to "Die klügsten Männer der Welt". A part of "Sprüche" was sampled on "Claudia (Teil 95)" on Die Bestie in Menschengestalt.
