Helloween
Live on 3 Continents
Rating
Style: Power Metal
Release date: February 23rd 2007

Helloween has been touring the World for the past two years, supporting their critical acclaimed 'Keeper of the Seven Keys - The Legacy' playing more than a 100 concerts in 40 countries. 3 of those concerts - in Sofia, Tokyo & Sao Paulo were recorded live, and just like the double live album released simultaneous with this double DVD the majority of the songs on this DVD were shot in Sao Paulo.

Full title is a bit of a mouthful; 'Keeper of the Seven Keys - The Legacy - World Tour 2005/2006 Live on 3 Continents'. More than 6000 enthusiastic pumpkin heads came to the show in Sao Paulo and witnessed an energetic show from Andi Deris (vocals), Michael Weikath (guitars), Markus Grosskopf (bass), Sascha Gerstner (guitars) and Dani Löble (drums). The show includes many classic tracks such as "I Want Out", "Dr. Stein" or "Future World" as well as the 3 epics: "Keeper of the Seven Keys", "Helloween" and "The King for a 1000 Years" and there is even room for solo pieces from Dani and Sascha - so every Helloween fan is served well on this DVD.

Helloween proves to be true veterans, and puts on a great show - I feel entertained and the crowd loves every second of the show. I prefer the DVD to the CD release, because Helloween are great on stage and it makes a lot of fun to watch them perform.

DVD 2 features 2 live songs more, a 45 minutes Road movie part, a 45 minutes interview section as well as the video clips for "Mrs. God" and "Light the Universe" - all in good fun and entertaining.

All in all; good family entertainment, which I am sure will please pumpkin heads around the globe. Good one, but not awesome just solid, no more, no less.

'Come with me Future World...'
