"I bought this DVD about a month ago and have seen the concert several times already. Setting aside the fact that Sharon is beautiful and has a beautiful voice, the whole band is just awesome together, they put on a show that is infectious making you want more. I haven't been this excited about a DVD album since Iron Maiden's "Live after Death" and Rush's "Exit Stage Left". The only sad thing is that Within Temptation and others like Nightwish, After Forever, etc rarely tour in the United States. I wish they would so that they can infuse the uninteresting and mind-numbing US music scene with some energy."
PAL format not NTSC

"I got my copy directly from Amazon and it is a PAL format DVD. Now I have a player that will play PAL discs but most buyers will not. That said, this is a fantastic concert with great sound and stunningly sharp visuals. Sharon den Adel is not only a very beautiful woman but is perhaps the best female vocalist fronting a metal band, especially now that Tarja is not longer fronting Nightwish.
Get it by all means if you're a fan, but just be aware that this is actually a PAL format DVD."
THIS LADY CAN SING !!!

"Bored with most current rock, I entered the world of Goth Rock through Evanescence, then Nightwish, Leave's Eyes and now these folks. Within Temptation has a great band, but and incredible singer (which is normal for most Goth Rock bands) This captures the group at their earlier phase, and is very good. If you don't have their most recent live show "Black Symphony" you are really missing some great music."
Impressed by their onstage performance

"Great to see many of my favourite songs performed live and with such effect. Also includes the music videos to 3 of their songs, their 'Angels' and 'Memories' like mini movies. Some of the Bloopers just consisted of giggling for what seemed like a long time but also included footage of one band member saving another from an on stage effect - awesome. Overall a great DVD that is going to get a lot of play in my household."
Amazing????

"If you own the Black Symphony DVD this will not let you down either. MAke sure your dvd accepts PAL format other than that, I L-O-V-E, loved it."
