This is a wonderful live album with a production that literally competes with their studio quality releases. The biggest most obvious change here is that Stratovarius is an energetic, passionate live performance with the added excitement of an explosive live sound. The drums our gigantic, the guitars are shredding, the keys are alive and the vocals are just amazing...and to deny the crowd any credit for the power displayed on this record would be purely stupid. With 'Visions of Europe' I had the chance to see into the past of Stratovarius - which many here in the states may never knew existed - which consists of a vast catalogue of heart-pounding metal that is classic and a charisma that is genuine and exciting!
