Review - Alive in Athens DVD
Alive in Athens is Iced Earth's second dvd and first live concert dvd, and man did they pick a great cocnert to put out on film. The Alive in Athens dvd showcases the best period for the band, they had a good amount of releases, Matt Barlow on vocals, and a fanbase worldwide. For those of you who haven't heard the Alive in Athens live CD you're in for a treat! This dvd features 28 live songs that showcase the best of each album.
Burning Times - Something Wicked Vengence Is Mine - Dark Saga Dark Saga - Dark Saga Last Laugh - Dark Saga Cast In Stone - Something Wicked Last December - Burnt Offerings Pure Evil - Night of the Stormrider Desert Rain - Night of the Stormrider Dante's Inferno - Burnt Offerings The Hunter - Dark Saga Melancholy (Holy Martyr) - Something Wicked Angels Holocaust - Night of the Stormrider Stormrider - Night of the Stormrider The Path I Choose - Night of the Stormrider Watching Over Me - Something Wicked Diary - Burnt Offerings Blessed Are You - Something Wicked When the Night Falls - Iced Earth My Own Savior - Something Wicked Travel in Stygian - Night of the Stormrider Violate - Dark Saga Stand Alone - Something Wicked Brainwashed - Burnt Offerings Disciples of the Lie - Something Wicked I Died for You - Dark Saga Prophecy - Something Wicked Birth of the Wicked - Something Wicked Coming Curse - Something Wicked DVD high points: Dante's Inferno, Stormrider (JON SANG STORMRIDER!!), Travel in Stygian. These songs were done infinitly better then the studio releases. The DVD also has some bonus feature, a small clip of Jon in Athens, and some backstage footage right before the show. The DVD footage was only shot from three different cameras so the angles aren't very varied, but they did a pretty good job with it. The strobe lights effect the cameras a bit, but thats only during two songs. The audio for the most part is taken right from the CD set and overlayed, so in some points the sound doesn't quite match up, but it's hardly noticable and is only in a few spots. Overall it's a pretty good DVD, I guess Jon was just embarassed to be releasing a product that wasn't 100% quality with his band name plastered on it. Here's some pics! Disk w/ packaging (click for full size)  Main Menu  Jon in Athens, Greece  Barlow backstage with IE's original drummer  Jon before going on stage  These are the burning times....THE YEARS OF PAIN!!  Imagine a place... where every horror comes to life...  I see the sadness in their eyes, melancholy in their cries...  Fight on! Grab on! Stormrider, Stormrider...  Spidey! (this dude's returning to the band for their next album!!)  Overall: 8/10, could have some improvments but this was an epic concert and definatley should be seen by any Iced Earth fan.

 The 3 disc set I used to have (sold it  ) from this show was actually pretty decent, except that I'm no real Iced Earth fan anyways,
