4 stars After a wait of what seemed like forever (over 3 years after the actual performance!), the great Pain Of Salvation has finally released their second DVD. Finally, a chance to see the band in all of their glory performing some of their best work besides the BE album (not one of my favorites, but still very good). Unlike many of the concert dvds i purchase this one actually provides good camera angles and very high quality editing, the cameramen actually know which band members to show on which parts of the song, which dosnt usually happen. The set list is about as good as could be hoped for except for the fact that too many songs off of the less-than-stellar Scarsick are featured, which could be expected since it was brand new material at the time. Also, for reasons unknown, Daniels guitar is way to low in the mix, leaving you straining to hear his parts. This also happens with the keyboards from time to time, but is less noticeable. In addition the the concert, there is a very entertaining documentary following the life of the band on tour right before their recent string of member changes. Also, there are TONS of bonus features the are very cool and enjoyable. All in all this is a very good release from one of, if not the, top act in the prog metal world. Definitely worth the $30+ price of admission. I'll be pulling this one off the shelves for years to come.
