Killer opening track. Blew me away when I first heard/saw it. I had never heard of Gamma Ray (I'm in the USA and I don't get out much) before, but about 10 years ago, I mentioned to someone that I happened to run into a CD of Avantasia's first album, which I fell in love with, and that person suggested I buy this DVD concert, so I did. And wow. Opened up a whole new musical window. I'm now a huge power metal fan, and Gamma Ray and Avantasia are my favorites, because they were my first listens. These bands are a big part of my happiness.
At this point you might have also heard of Blind Guardian, Primal Fear, Stratovarius, Hammerfall, Running Wild, Freedom Call, Masterplan, Angra. These are all amazing power metal bands
If You´ve ever heard the song before, and You´re just listening this for a reason or what so ever. I think what happens at 7.07 will come as a surprice. I heard the album version but this blew the living shit out of me, how great Kai can be. Just, just awesome! He gets higher than anything, amazing!
Kai Hansen is a fantastic vocalist and guitarist, and yes that vocal at 7:07 blew me away as well. But most of all, Kai is also a wonderful composer of music and wrote so many amazing songs. I am hoping for another Gamma Ray album. Henjo Richter is also amazing, as is Dirk Schlechter and Dan Zimmerman with this concert. This music makes me happy.
I wasn't there, but I have the DVD, and it is my favorite concert to play through my sound system. Killer audio and video presentation, and perfectly mixed to boot. I was unaware of Gamma Ray until someone recommended this concert to me. I fell in love with it, and it made me an instant Gamma Ray fan. I now own all of their CDs. I hope they tour in North America soon, as I would love to see them live!
I'm so glad to hear this band, what a powerful beginning so epic as well as the vocals, I'm looking forward to seeing them in a concert. Mr. Kai Hansen, Godfather of power metal.
I do believe this is the best GR line up of all time. Zimmerman is a beast and Kai's vocals are on point. I realize for the sake of the fans Kai had to step aside as lead vocalist but it shows his humility and concern for the band as a whole putting on a killer show. Hope to see them on tour soon.
This song opened the power plant tour but was not performed since until this show This version is a half step down from the original at d tuning the original was at a half step down from standard tune on the guitars and bass. There is a taped show from 1999 here on you tube with this song bieng performed along with gamma ray performing live their version of its a sin the pet shop boys classic.
Muy buena presentacion pero welcome + lust for life era de ley una es parte de otra es mi opinion y... La presencia de Mr Dan Zimmerman Puff de locura 🤘🤘🤘
Hello , where can i find the concert when Kai Hansen thank to classic bands of rock'n roll like Judas Priest , Queen , and others more..... Help please
tldr 2:32. They sound great. Not sure if you would call it a solo but the guitar part at 6:03 seemed too simple to carry the song. The half step (I think) drop is neat though as are the other (guitar) embellishments along the way.
@@LeonHaselbach Now he couldn't do it, indeed, his voice definitely gone down these last years but in 2011 it was still there. I was at this precise gig and it was insane ! Well he's 57 now and never stopped smoking so... I'm a bit sad but I love him anyway, Gamma Ray is just perfect to me.
@@mikekiske I get it, but if you realize that you're not able to sing, don't cheat the audience. I saw Graham Bonnet doing the same, and it was a shame.

Yes, Blind Guardian too. My top 1 is Helloween and then Gamma Ray.
Blind Guardian

Primal Fear

Majestuoso
Does anyone know if they made available the live stream they did on 2020?
Please get powerplant and somewhere out in space on apple music!!

Vinicius Andreatta it’s a pain, and I don’t have a CD player neither on my laptop or in my car
Am I the only one noticing the X! reference here?
Puta que pariu nós tudo. Que pedrada!
Kai hansen tiene parecido el color de voz a Rob halford jeje

Ok, Gamma Ray is one of my favourite band but the whole intro's idea is stolen from X Japan...
Chek it out...!!!
No I won´t. I care not. Enough for me is just please welcome The Rays, The Rays, The Rays, The Rays...all that matters to me, sorry.
X japan japan japan japan･･････････

With all dued respect. But I don't believe that Kai actually sang that song live.
I saw them two days before this exact show and he nailed the complete set.

he wouldnt be doing these weird facial expressions every now and then if he wouldnt be giving it all its definetly real
norm
Live?? Really???

That's sad, because he could sing, but he is aging a bit bad.
