such a shame this show never got a official release, it would have been a awesome live dvd/cd

[@DennisRadaelli]

So far we have 3 tracks from this show officially released as b-sides from both the Abyss of Time and The Skeleton Key limited CD singles.

[@LurchyScott]

I'm beginning to think they are going to. It just seems so out of the blue to release this now. I think they plan on releasing it as part of their 20th Anniversary. There is no way that Consign To Oblivion, Dancing In A Hurricane and Beyond The Matrix are the only tracks they recorded from this show. They've probably been sitting on it for awhile waiting for the right moment to release it. What better time than the year of the 20th anniversary.

[@remcovandenheuvel1315]

@@LurchyScott lets hope so. their last live release with a crowd was the anniversaryy show they did with the ochestra.

[@SokolRock]

Considering that they hired a film crew, I believe they had plans to release a DVD/Blu-ray, but most likely the final footage or recorded audio turned out to be defective and therefore they can only show some songs from that concert. It happens sometimes.

[@fritsyt2090]

youtube censorship. They prefer lady GaGa with billion views

[@mushroommagic1697]

I prefer them more underground but with substance and originality. Going mainstream can make their label force them to write more poppy and catchy songs. Look at Nightwish or Within Temptation, they went mainstream and their old school style is dimmed down in favor of a more commercial, safe written music.

[@lexburen5932]

@@mushroommagic1697 i agree. :)

[@RammmFan]

dear Epica, are you going to release this concert soon? Brussels Ancienne Belgiquee 2015 and Maybe Paradiso 2006 too. perfect time we're waiting - your Epica Legion

[@trendkill1459]

I absolutely love Epica. One of my favorite bands of all time. I can't wait for an opportunity to see them live! Been following them since Consign To Oblivion and have yet to find an album I didn't enjoy. Avalanche was a fantastic song. New album rocks!

[@kavertx9167]

I'm a new fan of theirs but when I saw they are coming to my country I immediately bought a ticket. Can't wait to see them this year!

[@anthonycarlisle6184]

Saw them in Orlando, tiny venue, maybe 2001, they're better live, which says a lot considering they sound great recorded. You won't be disappointed 👍 They did the most amazing rendition of 'imperial march', the bass...heavenly

[@thetalkingjshow8797]

I just saw them in Houston, they are amazing. It turned me into a fan for sure!

[@daianes.pedrosa4960]

Enquanto isso, uns lineups lazarentos de ruins no RiR... Vai entender.

[@ebederson]

E ainda tem gente que fala que eles mudaram um pouco a proposta da banda com o passar dos anos, se mudou acho que é normal e gosto muito como era e como esta hoje, adoro Épica dos os primeiros álbuns, show do Épica em sp em nov eu estarei la!

[@edsonoliveira7521]

Nossa, não esperava esse live depois de tantos anos haha.

[@ronaldosergio3321]

Tinha saido ela e mais outras duas em áudio, num CD que veio como bônus numa revista, um pouco antes do lançamento do Ômega. Foi algo bem limitado.

[@fritsyt2090]

Yes ladies and gentlemen, this is by far the best symphonic metal band in the world!!! What an energy and stage presence this band has! Keep rocking...Epica forever and ever!!!

[@jaapblaauw3735]

Shine through the sky Beyond the matrix Feel what it's like to be divine (to be divine) Shine through the sky Beyond the matrix Feel what it's like To have attained Nirvana Shine past the sky open your mind Then you will be balanced and free Be the master over your own energy Live in this moment like there is no past All that matters is to be who you are Be in this moment judgments will not last Urge yourself again to claim back your life Take a leap into the dark Dare to dive and fall The point of no return restrains us Shine through the sky Beyond the matrix Feel what it's like To reach divinity Aim at the sky open your mind Then you will be balanced and free Be the master over your own energy Shake off oiled feathers leave your past behind Use your inner force to reach your true self When there's no future you can't be occupied By non-essential waste and ruins of the past Recreate your hologram Dare to dive and fall The point of no return restrains us Shine through the sky Beyond the matrix Feel what it's like To have attained Nirvana Shine past the sky open your mind Then you will be balanced and free Be the master over your own energy Someday you'll open up again (To learn and grow) Someday you'll have to reach for new endeavors To perceive your inner self (Perceive your soul) Someday you'll start to live your life Responding with anger Responding with peace The choice is all mine It's a small lie for a man, but a giant blow for mankind We are almighty now We have found the alchemy of life We are all dominant here We are the force in control Shine through the sky Beyond the matrix Feel what it's like To reach divinity Aim at the sky open your mind Then you will be balanced and free Be the master over your life Stay in charge maintain your duty Dive into the sea of pure tranquility We will be finally free
