Alive in Athens DVD
(2007, Century Media)
Alive in Athens was recorded on the nights of January 23rd and January 24th
in Athens, Greece. Iced Earth was the only band who played at the Rodon Club
those nights, and they performed in front of sold-out crowds (of approximately
2000 people) both nights. Iced Earth did not want to make a standard, run-of-the-mill live album;
they wanted to make something truly special for the fans to own. Thus, they
played two vastly different sets each night, as part of a plan to release
a live package with the majority of their catalog on it. The finished product
will be a three CD set, containing at least three hours of music. For those
interested in vinyl, there will be a five-disc boxed set available. In the
U.S., a shortened two CD version will be sold in stores due to cost restrictions.
However, the full three CD version will still be available through Century
Media mailorder. The band recommends all fans who want the original and complete
version to order it rather than buying the two CD version.
