After an introduction to start up the crowd this live album
opens with “how far would you go” a well appreciated start of as you can hear
by the screams of the audience on the background. This song immediately sets the
tone for the rest of the album. An energetic performance with a sound which
resembles the albums but is really alive and well performed. At the end of the
third track Alexander shows his vocal qualities by finishing the song without
backing music. There is a nice balance between the best known songs of ASP and
the less known songs, this keeps you listening to this enervating album. You
can hear on the album that ASP is used to large stage performances and does
this in a relaxed manner as he is playing with the way he brings his songs.
Similar as on the albums there are smooth switches between english and german
while retaining a similar atmosphere. The second Cd opens with the sounds of
the violin used in “Krabat”. This dark song drags you into the right atmosphere
again. This 2nd CD also contains the hit singel “Ich bin ein wahrer
satan” which caused quite some controversy in the german charts. Followed
immediatley by “Duett” clearly preparing for the end of the show.
The last four tracks of the album are presented as “Zugabe”.
This also includes the hits “Finger weg! Finger”, and “Ich wil brennen”
As usual the design of the album is beautifull and the
booklet contains many live photographs. Completing the live CD is an
endorsement to come and see them again as there is a reduction included in
tickets for the 2009 tour. This limited edition album will be a must have for
the fans, especially the ones that have been in the shows presented on the
album.
