Recently received the mentioned DVDs ....... The Threshold DVD slays in the audio / video dept, but I have to say that filming it at a small club, with a quiet audience doesn't do much for the show itself. Mac tries to ignite the crowd several times without success, and it does take away from the energy of the band. Aside from that, the performance is brilliant, and the highlight is without a doubt, the vocal performance that Mac gives.
The Shaman DVD also slays in the audio / video dept. The show is filmed with the "live" look, unlike the edited look of Threshold, and in a huge indoor arena. The show is full of energy, and Andre Matos is finally let loose live. This DVD is hands down better than the Angra DVD that had poor sound. Special guests Tobias Sammett (Edguy) and Sascha Paeth (producer extraordinaire on guitar) make this one hell of a show.
