Finally got mine on saturday, and watched the whole DVD right away. The show is amazing, but I'm a little sad that they've cut out all the things Joey said to the audience. With the edits, John Norum again makes one of his extremely fast guitar changes, like in Solna 86, from TFC to Wings of Tomorrow But the show is phenomenal, just as it was in real life. The sound is great and mixed by Tobias Lindell (LLAE producer), and this time the cameras doesn't change as quick as on the Balls'n'Banners 2012 London DVD. Really great work by Patrick Ulleaus, the director. There's some bonus stuff, some backstage footage of Norum jamming with Schenker and Gorham, a slideshow from the soundcheck/press conference/show, and finally a 15min interview with some questions about which songs they enjoy playing, and my favourite one to John Norum: Did you slip? -and just one more thing; if you ever sit on a rainy day, and the mood is a little down, just tune into Prisoners In Paradise and enjoy the smile of our very own forum member Tone Irene during this song, I'm sure it will make you happy

Today arrived at home the DVD , ... awesome show. Hats off to Joey, he is an animal of the stage, and sings better than ever. The moment of Norum playing in the backstage with the guests is a luxury. The interview is fine, the five together, relaxed, Norum is very talkative ... he he I like it. :jump:You'll love it... production, the lights, the magnificent scenery, everything is big, very classy. Don't miss it ... !

And my bluray arrived today, too ! Well, I began to watch the "behind the scene" part, and then the interviews. Very nice indeed. So, Ian favorite song is "Scream of anger", because of the drum part : then in their next album, Europe should do a new song with this tempo and drums !!! And this time, Tempest says his favorite is "Riches to rags" (my fav on BOB too with Bag of bones !) Mic likes "Firebox" (and I enjoy the msic in this too, too ! ) Yes, the bonus material is nice (far better than in their previous DVD.) And afterwards, I watched the show. I was not expecting anything, as I had been disapointed by BallsnBanners DVD. I noticed that there was none of my very very favorites songs (the very top of the top in my taste, like seventh sign, or ready or not, or heart of stone, or gonna get ready...). My purpose was just to see some little pieces of the whole show, I was a bit curious of it (I must say i didn't watch completely any videos of SRF show on youtube, because I wanted to keep a feeling of surprise...) but you know what ? Finally I've watched the WHOLE concert ! Excellent. It was bewitching in fact. It reminded me of the very first time I watched "live from the dark", when I still din't know Europe : I wanted to see short parts, and finally I watched all the show !!! Yes, this DVD reminded me why I like EUROPE so much : because they are very very gifted in so many ways ! It makes of them an exceptional band. Great music, awesome performers, cool and nice men (especially as the lights make them look very beautiful ! ) Today, I'm very very very happy to be a EUROPE fan ! (and I know that I'll offer some amazing blurays as gifts for christmas, this year ! )

My pleasure ^^ I watched the DVD over the last two nights and I thought the same about Tone Irene's smile! She was really in Paradise. And during Open Your Heart also our michaeljessen and marylou of the forum have been represented! Michael, you were taking photos or a video, but you could not resist to watch out of the camera lens and sing along! Also a lot of other well-known friends from all over the world, it's been a huge party for all the fans! To be completely honest, about the DVD, I wouldn't say that the interviews section has impressed me. Very simple and straightforward (and this could be a plus), but in black and white - which I don't particularly like - and I think that they could have done something different. After all it was their 30th "birthday", a huge occasion... why just a plain interview? Well, I know, it's very good anyway, but with this I just took my little revenge over Patric , who has not included any image of me, my kids and even of our forum's host - Stein - in the DVD... Folks I AM JOKING, no problem at all!!!

You know friend , to me this 30th anniversary isn't being celebrated as it deserves, I expected some initiative more, something special in addition to the DVD, after some disappointments about it, I didn't expect in this DVD anything beyond the fabolous concert they played, so it has been a pleasant surprise to see guys doing some reflections. I would like to hear more Mic and Leven, they speak very little, anyway ...

Can anyone who has the blu-ray check on the back of the case and tell me if the audio is DTS-HD (or DTS-MA) or Dolby TrueHD? Thanks in advance
