Gamma Ray - Hell Yeah!!! The Awesome Foursome: Live In Montreal

If you are a Gamma Ray fan and just stumbled upon this DVD... GET IT !!!Song selection is great and the video and audio are top notch. I had not purchased any of their previous DVD's but after seeing them on the "Hellish Rock" Tour with Helloween, purchasing this was a no brainer. I have all of their CD's but this DVD really puts their career into perspective. Watching it, you get the feeling that the guys behind Kai are as much a part of the evolution of Gamma Ray as Kai is. Granted, he was the guitar player of arguably THE premiere German Power Metal band Helloween, but you can tell by watching the DVD that his band-mates are not hired guns but rather a part of the band which has made it what it is today. The musicianship of Dirk, Dan, and Henjo are as great as expected. My personal favorites are "Gardens of the Sinner", "Somewhere out in Space" and "Land of the Free". Although these are classics, the whole DVD rocks. In the bonus footage, you see the fun they have on tour. More importantly, you see the success story of someone (Kai Hansen) who took a chance leaving safety (Helloween) behind and just going for it! Because he seems like such a good guy, you get the impression that the rest of the band just tear it up and rock the world FOR Kai and FOR their fans. FIVE stars... no question about it !

Big fan of Kai Hansen from the Hellowen Days and I like Gamma Ray. This DVD is a great compilation whether to see them live or for a new fan to check out what they're about. Everybody in the band is at their peak- Hansen's vocals and guitar, Henjo's leads, Dirk's bass-playing or Daniel's relentless pounding(he's an awesome drummer- fantastic and effortless double bass palying). Song selection is very cool. Production both audio and video is fantastic- no complaints anywhere. Buy it, enjoy it!

if you have never seen this band live by the end of watching these dvds it'll feel like you were there .I don't want to spoil it for you with the details it is a must for any rock&heavy metal fan lucky for me I've heard of this awesome band 18 years ago and they still rock.

Saw them a few months ago in Baltimore with Helloween...for all the years, they've never skipped a beat...heavier than ever. Go see them - support the bands!! Cat

Good Product

This is a good show (right here in Montreal!). I really like Gamma Ray. My only complaint about this show is that there are too many older songs. Hey, don't get me wrong... I like those songs. But this is supposed to be in the MAJESTIC tour. So why only 2 songs from Majestic and 5 from Land of the Free??? Otherwise... get it. It's good!

Excelent performance and sound. The video quality is a miss

Bon show de power metal à Montréal en plus

WELL WHAT CAN I SAY ITS GAMMA RAY SAY NO MORE JUST GET IT!!!!!!!!!

Semplicemente strepitoso, un vero cult per gli amanti del Power-Metal e per chi ha nelle Vene sangue Longobardo, questo DVD è vera flebo di vitamine, ti fà resciuscitare in tutti i sensi, piu' lo vedi e lo ascolti piu' ti acchiappa e non ti lascia piu' andare. Comprarlo è un Dovere, ascoltarlo è un Piacere.

je recommande vivement l'achat de ce dvd d'un bon rapport qualité / prix pour les fans de Gamma Ray

"Hell Yeah!", endlich ist sie da, die lang, lang erwartete Live DVD von der Hamburger Power Metal Formation GAMMA RAY, die sich ja letztes Jahr mit "Land Of The Free Pt. II" mit einem Paukenschlag zurückmeldete. Wie Kai Hansen im Interview schon erklärte, kam die schon 2006 aufgenommene DVD aus Promotiongründen und dem Labelwechsel zu SPV nicht zum geplanten Termin heraus. Dafür entschädigen die Altmeister mit einem mörder Package aus gleich 3 DVDs (wenn man zur Ltd. Edition greift).Das Hauptaugenmerk liegt natürlich auf der Show von 2006, aufgenommen in Montreal, das die Live Atmosphäre der Veteranen super wiedergibt und Lust auf einen Konzertbesuch macht. Was ja wohl auch der Grund einer DVD sein sollte, neben dem Erinnerungswert, falls man auf der Tour war. An dem Schnitt, dem authentischen Livesound, der Setlist und der Performance gibt es nichts zu bemängeln, was für die Erfahrung der 4 Musiker spricht. "Man On A Mission", "Heavy Metal Universe" - Mitsingspielchen inklusive & "Send Me A Sign" dürfen im Set sowieso nicht fehlen, während "The Silence" und "Dream Healer" zwei kleine Überraschungen bieten.Wenn man sich durch die 120 Minuten "Hell Yeah! The Awesome Foursome - And The Finnish Keyboarder, Who Didn't Want To Wear His Donald Duck Costume" (welch Titel..) gebangt hat, sollte man unbedingt zur zweiten DVD greifen und sich, neben der Japan Akustik Show, den Wacken Gigs und allen Videoclips, die "Historay" und das lustige Roadmovie ansehen. Vor allem die "Historay" mit alten Homevideos und Live Auftritten sollte man sich als Fan nicht entgehen lassen. Nach weiteren 2 Stunden volle Packung GAMMA RAY gibt es dann noch die Barcelona Bonus DVD mit den neuen Tracks von "Land Of The Free Pt. II" und einem weiteren Roadmovie.Fazit: Mehr GAMMA RAY geht nicht und das Warten hat sich gelohnt. Fans müssen sowieso zugreifen, während die DVD für alle anderen wirklich alles bietet, was der (zukünftige) Hörer braucht. Alternativ kann man natürlich auch zur Doppel-CD greifen.
