Just got the deluxe book edition in the mail today, and I just finished the main concert on the blu-ray, and HOLY CRAP was that good. I may have to watch it again later on this week. One of my favorite albums of all time, performed live, in its entirety, with the vocalists as stage actors in great costumes, plus an amazing band and choir, all fleshed out by amazing props, lighting, and other stage effects.
If Arjen never does another Ayreon live show, this is the best way to end the live career for Ayreon.
Though, it would be amazing if Arjen could put together Into The Electric Castle live, or even The Theory Of Everything, but I doubt he'll do anything like this again. One can dream, though...
Obviously, the 18 or so months it took to prepare for this (and the 3 prior) performance(s) REALLY shows as everyone really pulled together. It's really astonishing how short of a time the vocalists had with the band once they got there, but they did it. Everything was amazing.
The package itself is pretty sweet, too, with some great photographs in the book! If you can afford it, definitely get the BD/2DVD/2CD set - it's totally worth it.
