DVD C
The dvd has a menu to select songs. A show recorded in Biskuithalle, Bonn, Germany 26. March 1995. U will find the follow line up: Calvin Russell (g,voc), John Dee Graham (g), Scott Garber (b), Daren Hess (dr).A show with more than 70 mn :All we got is Rock'n'Roll ,Characters ,Last Night; My Way , So Blue , One Meat Ball
Crossroads ,Rats And Roaches ,Valley Far Below ,Livin' At The End, Big Brother , A.Blues ,Trouble ,All We Got, Down In Texas . The sound is clear and better than the image ( full screen). Recorded by WDR TV , the show is very pro and the cameras follow the rhythm of the musci for a nice result. Ready to a deep-rooted music.
A TV show recorded in August 19, 2006 by Rockworld TV Show, 13th Hour Mean Fiddler, London for a short time , 35 minutes. But the quaity is correct ( mutl cameras) , full screen, nice stage and a lively audience. Nice show to watch, quiet dark atmosphere due to their heavy doom (the band was inspired by heavy metal groups such as Black Sabbath, Judas Priest, Venom but also by gothic rock acts like Bauhaus ).U will get interviews between each songs.....
A DVD with documentary and full live performance and a nice promo video (Dani looks like the joker).The documentary ".You Can’t Polish a Turd, But You Can Roll it in Glitter' is well done, very pro and they don't act like an idiot. U will have a good idea of their Russian 's tour, looks not so easy to manage everything. The third part is the Live show recorded in Belgium in June 2011 at the Graspop festival.One more time a nice clear 16:9 image with a nice light show, many blue and yellow spotlights.When Dani go from low notes to high notes, it could be better ( maybe he's sick ). Moreover, Dani change ur make up , it doesn't suit to ur style.Except that, it's a nice show ...mostly for a dvd bonus ( also a lovely artwork).
Let's give u some news about that US band. I quote: May 2009 saw CAGE releasing their 5th cd SCIENCE OF ANNIHILATION with the band retaining all of the classic CAGE heavy metal sounds fully intact, while pushing the metal musical boundaries in every department. With the addition of former PSYCHOTIC WALTZ drummer Norm “The Legend” Leggio, CAGE turned up the energy level to 200% to put the POWER back in POWER METAL. Once again, CAGE continued winning dozens of CD of the Year and CD of the Month awards and for an unprecedented 3rd time, ranked as the #1 cd in the sound check chart of HEAVY magazine in Germany, an honor only matched by the mighty KIND DIAMOND. Current live support for the new cd so far, has seen CAGE play their 2nd European headlining tour which included a co-headlining slot at the MERCENARIES METAL MEETING festival in Germany; headliners of the ELEMENTS OF ROCK Festival in Switzerland and other shows in Germany – Holland – Belgium - Czech Republic and Slovakia. In addition, the band has played other high profile festivals such as the legendary and prestigious PROG POWER USA X Festival / NIGHTMARE METALFEST / BINGHAMTON AREA METALFEST in the Unites States; multiple MAGO DE OZ FEST / XTREMO 7 and MEXICALI METAL FEST I & II festivals in Mexico and other festivals / shows throughout the United States and Mexico.So if u like the band u will be surprised by the dvd. A show quiet powerful, filmed by multi- cameras, a clear image, full screen. Evrything to make u satisfied. The singer looks like Rob Halford in the look and the attitude. What is the menu ? Two dvd's. One is filmed at the ProgPower USA X festival in Atlanta, Georgia in September 2009. DVD II features footage from various festivals and performances around the world as well as backstage and on tour clips...The end title is a surprise, a cover of the heavy " The dungeons are calling" of Savatage. San Diego is famous for his marina, surf spots....and now for his metal scene.
Old document from VHS rip ( 91/92), so u will have an image in 4:3, watchable of course but with pixelation. Funny to see Tankard in live,musicans are very serious, guys who are concentrating on theirs instruments.....The theater is full of diehards and the stage is quiet big, a good sound, nice cameras with many changes of images ( with thrash metal show ,it was inevitable ) .Same same for the show of Coroner's trio ( with a light show quiet better) but with a music more technical and static musicians ( for young people, Coroner used to be very popular in Europe).Both shows are well done except if u're HD supporter.
Limited dvd at 1000 copies world wide.The dvd has a menu & chapters.Remenber that the first vocalist Dave Lepard (January , 200) committed suicide at the age of 25 .On January 22, 2007 the band announced the addition of a new vocalist from Finland Olliver Twisted. Little bit raw,( many plans sucks) the whole quality is correct, the image & sound quiet clear, the stage is small but incredibly sleazy ( remenber Wrathchild).The audience doesn't go crazy and i don't know why ? It's tiny, warm and lively...even if u hear the same screaming'woman.U have bonus material called the "unattractive bonus" with photo shot ( the bass player kills ) or crazy stuff like Tommy lee used to do.Can watch stuff also from the Sweden Rock festival but with a sound quiet raw... a festival that looks cool.I have to return in Sweden one day ...
A show recorded at the famous Keep It True Festival 30th April 2011 in Lauda-Königshofen by a fan for a private audio bootleg. A show recorded from the left side but close to the stage. The image is full screen, the audio is more raw but good for this style of video document ( even if the acoustic of a gymnasium is not the best way to record a live show).The dvd has a menu & chapters. Here is the set list :Valhalla- Dragon Lady- Azrael
- Queen Of The Masquerade- Lady of Winter- Where Dragons Rule (incomplete)- Painted Skies- In Dark Places
- Red Sharks..So , u will be satisfied to discover the successor of Midnight and the vibe of the Keep it true.
