‘
Live Beyond the Spheres’ is a massive collection of live tracks taken from Blind Guardian’s 2015 European tour.
Spread out across three CDs you’ll find 22 tracks that represent both old fan favorites as well as more recent tracks and a couple of unexpected ones. Now you can argue about their choice to pick choice cuts from different show rather than represent1 singular show. In all they recorded no less than 30 concerts in full and they singled out the best performances. Now unless you actually were at the shows you really won’t notice it was assembled Frankenstein wise from different bodies as they’ve gone to great lengths to have the songs flow smoothly from one to another. And it must be said Kürsch and co give a stellar performance on each of the chosen cuts making this an ideal keepsake regardless whether you were at one of the shows or not or even as an introduction to the band because short of actually seeing them, you won’t find them sounding more vibrant and alive anywhere else, not even in the studio.
