When Century Media announced that they were putting out Iced Earth's "Alive in Athens" DVD, I was both excited and intrigued. Why wait 7 years to release the best live Metal concert ever recorded? Anyway, Jon Schaffer stated that this was purely the label decision; the band had nothing to do with it. However, his talk about this DVD not being "up to the standards of the band" is a joke. The truth is that since Iced Earth is now signed with SPV Records, Century Media can do whatever they want with Iced Earth past discography; and they did. A compilation has been released recently, and now this DVD. Well, in 1999, the band had its best lineup with Matt Barlow [vocals], Brent Smedley [drums], Larry Tarnowski [lead guitar] and James McDonough [bass] alongside John Schaffer [rhythm guitar].

SO overrated. Overdubbed to the point of sounding like a studio release. Zero live energy.
