 German metal giants, Gamma Ray release their live DVD & CD, “Hell Yeah! The Awesome Foursome Live In Montreal†through SPV / Steamhammer on 1st December. Recorded at The Medley in Montreal on the band’s triumphant Majestic North American tour, the recording perfectly captures the awesome Gamma Ray live show that has cemented their reputation around the world as one of the best live metal acts on the planet.
The live DVD set features 18 tracks from across the band’s 7 studio albums and include the classics ‘No World Order’, ‘Man On A Mission’, ‘Valley Of The Kings’, ‘Somewhere Out In Space’, ‘Land Of The Free’ and ‘Rebellion in Dreamland’. In addition, a second DVD features music videos from seven different stages of the band’s career, a behind-the-scenes road movie from the North American tour, and two live tracks from Wacken Open Air festival in 2003 and 2006. The package is rounded off by a 40-minute bonus DVD with 4 live songs and a road movie shot during the ‘Hellish Rock’ tour in Spain, 2008.
Clocking in at over 2 hours, the double CD edition features 22 tracks. Live versions of 4 of these tracks appear on the bonus DVD. This is an essential part of any Gamma Ray fan’s collection, as well as a fantastic introduction for any newcomers to the band.
Frontman Kai Hansen says of the tour: “We had played in the States only once before, so this was our first headline tour of North America. We had no idea what exactly to expect, but the reactions were overwhelming. The tickets sold extremely well, and the atmosphere was amazing night after night. What you see on the footage from Montreal is what we experienced at every show.â€
