│║ Description : ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ ItÆs been 23 years since the inception of the ║ │
│║ revolutionary power/speed metal outfit Helloween ║ │
│║ joined an onslaught of classic German acts on ║ │
│║ the famed Death Metal compilation and 13 since ║ │
│║ current front man Andi Deris took over on ║ │
│║ vocals. In that time there has been a mountain ║ │
│║ of power metal anthems and epics that have been ║ │
│║ made available for live performance, ranging ║ │
│║ from the simplistic sing along hymns such as ║ │
│║ ôFuture Worldö and ôI Want Outö, to the ║ │
│║ astoundingly complex epics in the vain of ║ │
│║ ôKeeper of the Seven Keysö. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ The selection for the set list on here obviously ║ │
│║ lacks any of Roland GrapowÆs contributions, ║ │
│║ mostly due to Sascha GershnerÆs radically ║ │
│║ different lead style. It also concentrates ║ │
│║ primarily on the Keeper albums, all three of ║ │
│║ them to be exact. Most of the classics from ║ │
│║ these albums are found here, including the ║ │
│║ humorous ôDr. Steinö, the equally witty ôMrs. ║ │
│║ Godö, and the somewhat cheesy yet still fun ║ │
│║ power ballad ôA Tale that WasnÆt Rightö. We also ║ │
│║ get a rather ambitious number of epics to be ║ │
│║ found that clock in at over 11 minutes each, all ║ │
│║ of which are technically and musically ║ │
│║ spellbinding. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Much as was the case on the latest studio album, ║ │
│║ the person who really shines above the rest on ║ │
│║ here is drummer and newcomer Dani Loble, who ║ │
│║ formerly lit up the kit in support of former ║ │
│║ Maiden singer Blaze Bailey as a live session ║ │
│║ member. I genuinely think that he does a better ║ │
│║ job than that of Uli Kusch, not to mention ║ │
│║ getting a much more thunderous and triumphant ║ │
│║ sound out of his set, particularly the snare ║ │
│║ drum. He rips apart ôEagle Fly Freeö, ôHell was ║ │
│║ made in Heavenö and ôPowerö like heÆs not even ║ │
│║ trying, and really shows his stuff on ôKing for ║ │
│║ a Thousand Yearsö. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ The remaining instrumentalists also pull their ║ │
│║ weight quite well. Sascha Gershner has been sort ║ │
│║ of a dark horse on my list of favorite guitar ║ │
│║ players since the incredible display he put on ║ │
│║ in several tracks off Freedom CallÆs ôCrystal ║ │
│║ Empireö, and on several tracks, both from the ║ │
│║ older Keeper tracks and the latest one, he ║ │
│║ rivals Michael Weikath quite well and even ║ │
│║ upstages him. Marcus is always in top form, ║ │
│║ definitely one of the most underrated bassists ║ │
│║ out there. Michael Weikath mostly shows his ║ │
│║ stuff on the classics, as heÆs toned down his ║ │
│║ lead playing a bit on the last 2 studio ║ │
│║ releases. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ The vocal delivery on here is where things are ║ │
│║ not 100% consistent, something which was also ║ │
│║ the case on the last Live CD I heard ôHigh ║ │
│║ Liveö. Although Andi Deris is an accomplished ║ │
│║ singer with a solid range, his voice struggles a ║ │
│║ bit with the Michael Kiske songs, particularly ║ │
│║ the ones with lots of high parts such as ôDr. ║ │
│║ Steinö, ôI Want Outö and ôFuture Worldö. He does ║ │
│║ a better job on ôA Tale that WasnÆt Rightö and ║ │
│║ ôEagle Fly Freeö, but even there the lack of ║ │
│║ punch on the higher notes shows itself. Picture ║ │
│║ Paul DiÆanno trying to sing ôInvadersö or ║ │
│║ ôNumber of the Beastö and youÆll get an idea of ║ │
│║ what I mean. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ To prospective Helloween live album purchasers, ║ │
│║ this is the one to get if you like the latest ║ │
│║ stuff with Deris at the forefront. If you donÆt ║ │
│║ like hearing classic Kiske era tracks being sung ║ │
│║ by someone else, use the skip button on the 3 ║ │
│║ mentioned tracks, ôFuture Worldö in particular ║ │
│║ if you donÆt like drawn out audience sing along ║ │
│║ sections. (It does lose its effect when taken ║ │
│║ out of the context of the performance itself and ║ │
│║ transfers onto audio CD in particular) ItÆs ║ │
│║ slightly better than ôHigh Liveö, although it ║ │
│║ has a lot more classic Helloween tracks on it. ║ │
