October 10   New York (NY)   Terminal 5   On Sale April 4

OOOO a friday night in NYC... may have to go to this and start to get into Within Temptation. I have the Heart of Everything which I like but am not crazy about.

Try the Silent Force. It's my fave of them. If you don't like it, this band probably isn't for you.

Cool.  The San Fran date is just a couple days before I'm there for a conference that I attend every year.  Guess it's gonna be the Toronto date.

Seeing that they'll be in Chicago on Oct 1.  I'm strongly considering going to this show, even if it is a Wednesday.

Nice pic, I hate it when europe bands play these shows at larger venues and have pyros and great stage shows and then come to the states and have none of that.  I need to get to europe and see some concerts there.

Well, given Sharon´s history with pyrotechnic ´near misses´ in the past, let´s see how long this lasts...  ;)

Really bad timing for me.  I'm going to be in SF the end of Sept/beginning of Oct - I won't be in SF in time for that show, and not back home in time to see the Toronto show.

Yeah that´s what I mean. There are loads of bloopers like that to be found on Youtube. One of them is when she starts to sing and a giant smokestream goes off right beside her. Dangerous profession, really!

Amaranthe is supporting Within Temptation on their upcoming US tour. Will they add a Phoenix date? Probably not...

At least they're going to Canada. They probably avoid this place like the plague, but I guess I can't blame them. Shit, Mike LePond told me Symphony X wont be coming back because they didn't draw enough. There was no date for PHX when they toured with Iced Earth 2 years ago.

I blame Nevermore.

New DVD/BluRay and it sounds like a monster package!

https://www.within-temptation.com/headlines/within-temptation-reveal-new-live-dvdblu-ray2cd-let-us-burn/

Quote
‘LET US BURN – ELEMENTS & HYDRA LIVE IN CONCERT’

Dutch symphonic rock band WITHIN TEMPTATION are thrilled to unveil a new live DVD/Blu-ray/2CD. ‘Let Us Burn – Elements & Hydra Live In Concert’ is set for release on November 14 and features two of WITHIN TEMPTATION’s most talked about arena shows ever. The two dates are 2012’s resplendent 15th birthday ‘Elements’ concert and the final night of the ‘Hydra’ European arena tour at Amsterdam’s Heineken Music Hall in May 2014. When it comes to the live experience, Within Temptation’s status is of a league extraordinaire. These two performances showcase every nuance of their fierce reputation plus stunning imagery and special FX, including even giant fire-breathing dragons!

In November 2012, WITHIN TEMPTATION challenged themselves to create one of their most impressive arena shows ever, to celebrate the band’s 15th birthday. The result was the one-off symphonic ‘Elements’ show, held at the Sportpaleis in Antwerp. A dazzling event with 15,000 fans, the band’s dream came to life. Newly inspired, the group went forth to write their critically acclaimed sixth studio album ‘Hydra’.

In early 2014, WITHIN TEMPTATION unleashed ‘Hydra’. This monster record claimed more than 10 European Top-10 chart positions, a #2 position in the iTunes World Charts, and the band’s highest US Billboard Top-20 chart position to date. The album success was followed by a 33-date European arena tour, selling out noted venues like Wembley Arena in London, Le Zenith in Paris, and the legendary Heineken Music Hall in Amsterdam (twice).
Over 15,000 fans joined the ‘Elements’ show celebrations and more than 120,000 fans witnessed the ‘Hydra’ beast on stage in Europe, but WITHIN TEMPTATION is far from done. The ‘Hydra’ world tour is currently in full swing in North America. With South America and Japan still to come, more than half a million fans will have seen WITHIN TEMPTATION by the end of this year.

WITHIN TEMPTATION is renowned for releasing impressive live DVDs. Previous release, the best-selling ‘Black Symphony’ DVD, helped make them one of the most popular bands in their genre. At their recent Awards show in Berlin, Metal Hammer Germany presented WITHIN TEMPTATION with the prestigious Best Live Band Award. The new DVD underlines this title.
‘Let Us Burn – Elements & Hydra Live In Concert’ will be released in four formats – DVD + 2CD, Blu-ray + 2CD, 2CD, and digital album. The DVD and Blu-ray contain 34 live audio visual tracks in HD, mixed in 5.1 Dolby Surround. The 2CD and digital album comprise 32 live audio tracks. The two shows have a running time total of approximately 170 minutes. ‘Let Us Burn – Elements & Hydra Live In Concert’ is a treat for rock fans all over the world.

After the indifference shown to their American fans coupled with the substandard music quality after Black Symphony, I find it really hard to care about this band.

Hydra was definitely a disappointment even though there are some really good songs on it, but I wont give up on them until they release a really terrible album. Because you know, when/if that ever happens, they will sure enough have a US tour, come to Phoenix and play mostly their new shitty crap. Granted, that's a worst case scenario.

I wasn't a huge fan of Hydra until I saw them a few week ago play half the album and I really enjoy it now. I plan on buying the new blu ray when it comes out soon.

As annoyed as I am with this band, I was in a mood to listen to them and stumbled upon this show from 2012:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rUzEE-GTlRE

Stunning.  There were truly some awesome tracks on The Unforgiving, and some of them are showcased here along with some of their classics.  Although I guess I shouldn't be, I am pleasantly surprised at how awesome In The Middle Of The Night is in a live setting. 

Oh, and did Sharon and Robert break up, or is that him in black with the long(ish) hair and I am just not recognizing him?

As of 2011, Westerholt has stepped down from touring with Within Temptation in order to take care of his and den Adel's children. He is still a recording band member, however, and will focus on songwriting and production. Stefan Helleblad, who has been working behind the scenes with the band, is his live stand-in.

I had a feeling he wasnt touring with them. I got confused seeing live vids of them,  and not seeing him there. Yet he's on the studio albums.

Ah, okay.  That makes sense.

Actually, that's a pretty good move on their part from a practical standpoint.  Although Robert is one of the major creative forces behind the music, Sharron is the voice and face of the band.  If one of them has to take a back seat, it obviously has to be Robert.  And having him at home full time allows the band to be out touring more often.  ...not that that does any of us in the U.S. any good.

What 'indifference's' are you referring to?
