I fucking love this DVD and CD.
Did anyone here see the footage that was broadcast on Greek TV where Jon is discussing the recording process? He says something along the lines of that after the gig they'd be taking the recordings back to the studio to "touch up" any mistakes.
I can't remember which song it us but one of Larry's solos you can see he is playing something different to the actual audio that you can hear. I think it's somewhere in the Wicked trilogy..
Definately a bit in the Dante's Inferno solo at about 5:10. (below)
Another example, look at this video from 2:07 to 2:35 (below)
where Jon says, "Athens let me see those hands! Hey! Hey!" etc. LOOK CLOSELY at Jon, he isn't even near a microphone! That's a mighty voice to be heard that loudly without a mic! And where he says "Here we go!" at 2:48.
Matt Barlow's final high note ending on The Hunter springs to mind too, maybe a vocal overdub? "The wrath of heaven's coming dooooooooooooooooown!" look here
the video shows he moves the mic away before the actual vocal audio has finished.
Bad sync perhaps? Maybe it's just me?
Jon Scaffer's guitar tone is BEYOND amazing. I NEED one of those Larry amps big time.
P.S. I'm not bashing Iced Earth here, they are one of my favorites!
