After reading the previous reviews I decided to import the DVD from Germany and had a friend bring me one. And yes, the overall set is really good but what makes it really awesome is indeed Disc 2 that has "Live in Germany" and a few tracks from Wave Gothik Treffen in Leipzig on it. Without this disc it is only half as good.

For whatever reason, the folks at Metropolis decided not to include the second DVD with this set that is available on the PAL version of this DVD. Instead, they picked 5 tracks from the aformentioned "disc two" and tacked them on as an extra feature, so we in the U.S. just have a single DVD. It's very disappointing not to get the full length performances. In Transit (The Movie) is just that. It's documentary style with snippets of performances abruptly interrupted with interviews. I personally would have prefered just the Live in Germany DVD in its entirety over the movie. That said, the content you do get is pretty awesome.

Having been a long time Covenant fan I had really high hopes for this album as I've never had the chance to seem them live. The collection of songs is great, but what really struck me is that they seem to miss on the performance.
Inflection and tone found on studio recordings are completely missing in the live set, and many of the songs come off as flat or dull because of this. I was honestly really surprised.
