Great CD/DVD! If you love Within Temptation, you'll love this:
The recording is very well done, so the CD that comes with this DVD is also a great product, and if you love Within Temptation, you'll love this!
Wow:
I agree with all of the praise in these reviews... but wait until you see/hear the Blu-Ray!!!!!!! I watched the entire concert and bonus features straight through and was left speechless at the conclusion of the Blu-Ray. Full 1080p and an uncompressed 5.1 PCM soundtrack will push your equipment to its limits! This entire project is sensory overload and the Blu-Ray takes it all the way! Blu-Ray is universal but the accompanying DVD is on PAL format and not payable by most of us in the states. Buy the CD/DVD... more info
Seriously Epic!!:
In February of 2008, Dutch symphonic metal/symphonic rock band WT hit a new pentacle of their career with their innovative "Black Symphony" concert. This concert featured the Metropole Orchestra (a 60 piece orchestra), a 40-member choir, 10-foot pyrotechnics, a massive HD video screen, guest musicians such as Keith Caputo, and of course, Within Temptation.

Excellent concert!!!:
Got the DVD, and have to say...what an awesome concert!!! Enjoyed every second of thier performance and have to say, the only thing better would be if they release the Blu-Ray of this concert for sale in the US. Watched it three times straight through in the first two days I had it. Excellent choice for any WT fan!!
