Don't get me wrong: I loved this DVD, even with the atrocious editing this thing had (in the main concert at Montreal). The guy who edited this was completely lost. The editing int he other shows (Wacken and Barcelona) is much better.

Anyway, the sound is spectacular! Song selection is good, I think it could have been better. The band performance is breathtaking in all performances.

Also as usual, the road movies are just a bunch of nonsense, where you'll get to know absolutely nothing about the band members more profound thoughts...

All in all, a very good DVD.

If you are a Gamma Ray fan and just stumbled upon this DVD... GET IT !!!
Song selection is great and the video and audio are top notch. I had not purchased any of their previous DVD's but after seeing them on the "Hellish Rock" Tour with Helloween, purchasing this was a no brainer. I have all of their CD's but this DVD really puts their career into perspective. Watching it, you get the feeling that the guys behind Kai are as much a part of the evolution of Gamma Ray as Kai is. Granted, he was the guitar player of arguably THE premiere German Power Metal band Helloween, but you can tell by watching the DVD that his band-mates are not hired guns but rather a part of the band which has made it what it is today. The musicianship of Dirk, Dan, and Henjo are as great as expected. My personal favorites are "Gardens of the Sinner", "Somewhere out in Space" and "Land of the Free". Although these are classics, the whole DVD rocks. In the bonus footage, you see the fun they have on tour. More importantly, you see the success story of someone (Kai Hansen) who took a chance leaving safety (Helloween) behind and just going for it! Because he seems like such a good guy, you get the impression that the rest of the band just tear it up and rock the world FOR Kai and FOR their fans. FIVE stars... no question about it !

Saw them a few months ago in Baltimore with Helloween...for all the years, they've never skipped a beat...heavier than ever. Go see them - support the bands!! Cat

This is a good show (right here in Montreal!). I really like Gamma Ray. My only complaint about this show is that there are too many older songs. Hey, don't get me wrong... I like those songs. But this is supposed to be in the MAJESTIC tour. So why only 2 songs from Majestic and 5 from Land of the Free??? Otherwise... get it. It's good!

if you have never seen this band live by the end of watching these dvds it'll feel like you were there .I don't want to spoil it for you with the details it is a must for any rock&heavy metal fan lucky for me I've heard of this awesome band 18 years ago and they still rock.
