Format:DVD
This dvd contains 2 discs. The DVD 1 contains all video clips, interesting videos. But DVD 2 contains the complete concert, is simply awful, bad camera's work, the cameras going as ping pong each 2 seconds, the cameras in many moments are very very away of the stage. A great disappointment. I recommend don't spend money on this bad production!

I had waited a long time for this to come out and on first listen I was left thinking that it doesn't quite make it. Liv Kristines vocals have always been on the fragile side and I was wondering if she could deliver live, I'm sad to report that on this showing she is found a tad wanting. At times her voice is flat and at times she misses the high notes completely as on Temptation. There are flashes of what the band can really do and the guitars are at times quite brilliant. Skraelings is possibly the vocal performance of the show. What I would like to do is see them on a smaller stage, the stage for this concert was simply massive and I do wonder if this affected both the sound mix and her nerves, the drummer must have been very lonely sitting all the way back there.
Overall I quite enjoyed the DVD because instrumentally they were excellant. I will now have to go and see them live myself before I consign them to the ranks of able to produce great things in the studio but not able to deliver vocally on stage.

For Leaves' Eyes Addicts
18 April 2009
Format:DVD
This has to be one of the most in depth, longest documentary rock band interview movies in world history. For fans of Leaves' Eyes, you will be in absolute heaven. Beyond heaven. For regular mortals, the documentary should be about 30 minutes long.
Fans should buy this DVD, sight unseen. For the fans, the documentary on disc one is over 2 hours long. It features each group member standing someplace by themselves and talking to the camera. The backgrounds are pretty darn cool, two are in some gorgeous Norwegian forest. One is on a ship in a harbor. And Liv is standing in a rocky open area. The settings are fantastic. As a band member talks about something, the film cuts away to concert footage. We also get to meet Liv's parents and grand parents. It's all so homey and educational. They discuss, in detail, each of the music videos on this DVD.
For the non-fan that might be considering this DVD. The documentary is pretty interesting. It could be just 30 minutes and get the message across. But the very cool part about this group, they are intelligent. Remember all of them speak perfect English as their second langauge. They are proud Vikings. There is a some decent history of Vikings. There are also some beautiful views of the fjords. And a bonus, Liv Kristine is very beautiful, the camera is very kind to her. The other group members are normal looking metal band guys.
The second half of disc One is a compilation of their videos. There are a couple of standard music videos. The rest is concert footage intercut with road video. This is a group that loves their fans, and says thank you very frequently.
Their music. Leaves' Eyes is a decent group. They sound a lot like Evenesence meets Sarah Brightman (a popular opera-like singer). They are considered Goth Metal (yeah the documentary talks about all the rules for different kinds of metal bands, but it's not that interesting). For my taste there just isn't enough growling or deep vocals mixed with Liv's beautiful high voice. I would like to hear a lot more interplay between the bass and the highs. Liv can sing, way way better than Amy Lee. But she is not quite as good as Sarah (Brightman has a nearly perfect voice). The metal sound comes through, but is frequently masked by too much volume on strings and a backing orchestra. It's very possible this could just be concert mix issues and not a fundamental issue with the band. I like their music.
The second disc is run through concert footage. At a future date I will update this review to include that disc.

Metal Female Voices-Liv Kristine
28 May 2009
Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
Informative, exciting, original and intense.
This DVD is very detailed. From Theatre of Tragedy to Atrocity, the documentory follows each individual band members' careers.
Liv Kristine is interviewed along with her sister and parents.
Her mother and father are very proud of their daughter.
There are some outdoor interviews with stunning background scenery.
Also, the concert has an awesome set with a large screen mixed with a viking ship, oceans, and snow covered landscapes.
The male singer is Kristine's husband. While I enjoy her voice, her husband's growling becomes too apparent on some songs.
This is a five star DVD.
Extra: For music fans who prefer clean vocals, the male singer uses cookie monster growls; however, he is merely in the background.
