Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)this dvd includes a full concert (in poland), bootleg videos of dark tranquillity performing in germany, greece, and france, music videos for "monochromatic stains" and "therein," as well as an interview with mikael stanne (vocals), a band biography, photos of the poland show, a discography, and killer artwork.
the poland show was performed on oct 7, 2002. the songs are: the wonders at your feet, the treason wall, hedon, white noise/black silence, haven, punish my heaven, monochromatic stains, undo control, indifferent suns, format c: for cortex, insanity's crescendo, hours passed in exile, the sun fired blanks, damage done, lethe, not built to last, therein, zodijackyl light, and final resistance.
the sound is superb, as is the video quality. dt put on a great show. the only problems are that the audience, except for a few, is unfamiliar with dt and is pretty lethargic. they just stand there most of the time, sometimes trying to clap along, only to stop because of dt's frequent time and tempo changes. but you can tell that they like it. the other problem is that when stanne does clean vocals, like in "therein," the sound does not match the video. it's out of sync by a second or so. it'd be cool if they played some more songs from the gallery and mind's i, and something from skydancer and chaos & eternal night, but oh well. otherwise this portion of the dvd is awesome.
the german show (performed nov 13, 2002) includes: white noise/black silence, haven, wonders at your feet, and final resistance. france (oct 20, 2002) and greece (nov 19, 2002) include: therein, zodijackyl light, final resistance, damage done, wonders at your feet, final resistance, punish my heaven, monochromatic stains, therein, haven, hedon, and white noise/black silence.
those are not repeats, i.e., the titles that are listed twice are performed in different places. that's kind of one of the dvd's drawbacks. since all the shows were recorded from the same tour, there are multiple versions of each song. "therein" appears at least 4 times on the dvd!
the german, french, and greek audiences are much more lively. most of the time you hear them singing along louder than mikael. the video quality is poor, and so is the sound, but that's what you should expect from bootlegs (and remember, the sound and video from the polish show are near perfect).
the interviewer asks stupid questions (e.g. describe dt in 3 words), but mikael manages to give interesting and illuminating answers. one such answer includes a humorous account of what happened when dt was nominated for a grammy.
this is the best music dvd i've ever bought. the show in poland alone is worth every penny, and should be in ever metalhead's collection. but this dvd has so much extra stuff. get it, you won't regret it.
