Let Us Burn (Live Elements & Hydra) - 2 CD + Blu-ray (Blu-ray)

Customer Review

What a shame ....
I watched with pleasure the present two concerts on bluray contained in the box (the box opens in 4 parts, the first contains a booklet, the second on bluray and then the 2 CDs), and I quickly realized (to have been present at the concert) that many cuts were made in editing ... (most of the songs on transitions).
But most disturbing, comparing with the setlist of the concert the concert Elements (concert 2012 or the group celebrated its 15-year career), I saw that many songs are simply absent: Never Ending Story, Titanium, Summertime Sadness, Granada, What have you done, Our Farewell and Memories!
Even punishment for the concert tour Hydra (their tour in 2014 I saw in Nantes), or Angels, Our solemn hour, See who I am, The Cross and Summertime Sadness are also absent!

I sought the reason for these cuts a moment before finishing my understanding (my theory at least) that the group opted for a coherence between the two CDs and bluray.
Indeed a CD is limited by 74mn recording. The 2 group far exceed those concerts 74mn so that I think that the group had to make the choice to cut songs to "fit" each concert on CD.
Therefore they made the same cuts on the CDs and on the concert Bluray ...

This is totally absurd, especially since the majority of people no longer use CDs these days ... or he have been allowed the full concert on video bluray version (it might be necessary to do so 2 bluray, 1 for each concert would have probably allowed for better video bit rate and the possibility of an uncompressed HD track (version 2.0 and 5.1 on each concert).

The quality of the video of the concert is just satisfactory, there is often compression patés which are felt in the backgrounds that are dark. In the concert the Elements distant shots of the same room are ugly (it must be from a non-HD camera, same for the camera that is on the battery that is of poor quality). On Hydra, this is not much better, it's just, in any case it is far from the quality of the previous bluray "Black Symphony" ...

I think the fans should buy this package because I believe that there will be no other versions of it and it's still a great way to plan for the masterful concert Elements.
I am still a huge regret for the choice that was made to have made so many cuts, otherwise my rating would have been much better ... See more concert video as bonus CD version than anything something otherwise you might be disappointed.

Within Temptation still remains a key group that gives the best of himself live ...

Update of 21/11/14: It's very irritating bug there on bluray, when you start you can choose one of the two concerts, but when you are on an impossible concert afterwards to change and move on another concert !!! Bluray The designers have forgotten to include a return to the main menu.
When you have selected a concert, the main menu allows you to return to the beginning of the concert menu (with choice of songs etc ...) but not to the main menu from the beginning, so impossible to change together short drive. The only solution I found is to highlight the bluray and choose "read from the beginning" option on my bluray player. (Problem found on freebox, ps3 and ps4)
