Fifteen years of The Gathering, 4 Jan 2006
This is a very interesting retrospective of this remarkable netherlands ensamble known as the Gathering, this DVD edition features two DVDs , the first part contains 14 live cuts from previous albums in its more pure form, noise is keept at the lowest and the beautifull ethereal atmosphere the Gathering creates fills the space, "Broken Glass" is one of the more sublime and emotive moments as well "souvenirs" but the complete track listing is touching by far "herbal movement", "travel" etc. the whole performance is epic i must say , this time show is very sober being the music the most important thing to enjoy, as another reviewer states total length of this concert is maybe short but in essence you feel pleased with the material you enjoy. Part Two is also enjoyable this consists of a tour retrospective you feel like youre a part of the last world tour The Gathering made before Anneke became mother and the band decided to take a breake, before that they visited Chile, France, Mexico, Russia, Belgium, Hungary , Canada , Italy, Portugal and brief glimpses of every city they visited with funny situations, long waits in airports, soundchecks, inteviews, fun in the tour bus etc. you can witness, this is followed by an interview with the band regarding their fifteen years together , they talk about their beginings, how Anneke joined from the third album , the process of maturity and the transittion from Metal band to progressive Metal Band to a simply progressive atmospherical band , they talk also about their future plans and the album that will follow "souvenirs". Next Part is an italian TV special with interviews too were among other things the new bass player talks about how she joined the band and the last part consist of five animation videos made by different visual artists. As you can realize this is a delightfull combo wich i reccomend you to get and enjoy because the Gathering are currently in a very well deserved breake and this could be the last we can have from them for a while as well the double cd "accesories" with rarities and bsides wich shortly i promiss to review here
