I like bands that put on good live shows, not where the audience winds up falling asleep half way through. Iced Earth is probably one of the best live metal bands to date. The energy that exists in this show is unmatched, and the greek fans are the craziest Iced Earth fans out there. They sing along to every song, and chant to every guitar rythem. The only other live album that captures the audience this well that I've seen is Iron Maiden's "Rock In Rio", and thats saying something. The band plays a huge 35 song set list over two days, covering their entire cataloug up untill the "Something Wicked This Way Comes" cd, this live show was part of the "Something Wicked" tour. If you like Metal, buy this cd, you won't regret it.
