Tech: NTSC, Full Screen (4:3), 120mins, Totally un-authored - No titles, menus or chapters. Comments Some claim this is a pro shoot but with only two cameras and below average sound, I doubt it. The two cameras, (one at the back, one in front of the stage) do get some great shots although some tape wear is evident through out. However, it is the sound and lack of any authoring that lets this down. Audio is clearly audience recorded, it is often splashy although still listen-able.

Tech: H264, 1280x720p, 25fps, AAC,
38mins Comments: The historic meeting of the TSO and the band that formed their core, played out across both Wacken's main stages at once for nearly three hours.

Songs: What The Night Conceives (TSO), The Hourglass (Savatage / Andrew Ross), King Rurik (both), Chance (both), Requiem (both) |
