Wonderful, again.

I decided to comment on the latest release of Within Temptation, even if I have not bought on Amazon (I had pre-ordered on their website), because I see a lot of disappointments ... I can understand that those attending concerts, particularly those coming out on DVD or disappointed. It's a bit obvious, one can not compare the fact of attending a wonderful concert and being seen then on his TV. For me, who can not attend the concerts for health reasons (I will not spread it all my life, do not worry), each output live DVD of my favorite artists is pure bliss. This allows me to share these extraordinary moments, in another way, but it's fantastic for me. So maybe I'm not the most objective. However, I was disappointed by some still live DVD ... But all of Within Temptation are, for me, beautiful. Most wonderful of course being Black Symphony, simply magnificent.

Going back to this, the cuts may be too wide to those who attended the concerts. Not having seen any, I have been skeptical of the assembly at any time. The quality is very good for my taste, the sound also. The group is as always fantastic. Sharon still gives me chills and once again I had tears in my eyes (even ashamed). The staging is not that of a show like Black Symphony, obviously, these are two very different DVD since it is not at all the same type of concerts. But it's still very good. As for the duets, I thought it was rather successful. I wondered what it was going to give because Sharon had said in interviews that they would play these songs on stage with videos since for obvious reasons, all artists present on the duets can not follow the tour. For sure this is not the same as a duet with the artist present on stage, but it's still successful, there is no offset, the sound is good ... And I imagine the evil Hydra tour without these key titles of the last album ...

As for the packaging, it is beautiful. I personally am not disappointed at all, on the contrary. Within Temptation gives us every exit of sublime live DVD. But as I said in my opening comments, it is understandable that the fans who attended the concert were disappointed. This still remains an essential for fans of the group and those who have not seen the band live will certainly, like me, delighted.
