I have just checked the Roadrunner website and it is now confirmed that the DVD will be released on 4 October. Here is a link to a new video from the DVD:

*stamps foot* So we have to wait another month for it! That really majorly sucks! But at least we will get it, so that is something.

I got this freaking awesome WT shirt at Hot Topic yesterday. I spazzed when I saw it. It says "Within Temptation" and underneath it says "Black Symphony" or something, with a picture of Sharon and like... an orchestra of death... o_o *drools*

YAAAAY! I'm downloading Black Symphony. Can't wait till tomorrow when I'm finally able to watch it.

Oh my God!!
It is amazing.. it is a masterpiece! It's not just a show, it's a performance! The performance. It's just fantastic. I may use a zillion of epithets, but they won't describe my feelings anyway.
The setlist is impeccable, I loved just every song they played. Sharon's voice sounds astoundingly live, it's like you're listening to the record. Plus, I really loved the guest vocals - Keith Caputo has a very powerful voice despite of the fact that he's like a hobbit himself , I never liked The Gathering or Anneke, but fell in love with her and Sharon's duet, and this guy's (can't remember his name) growling is super. The orchestra did their job perfectly, as well.
Though, I was a tad disappointed at the way they played Memories. It seems like they increased the tempo and it turned out to be just a nice song, but not the sad and touching ballad that I adore. But that's fine, for other tracks were absolutely brilliant.
I won't say anything about the decorations.. because it's just impossible to describe them. I really envy those people who were lucky to go there (oh, and I saw Katya a couple of times! ) By the way, how much did tickets cost to the show?
Most of Sharon's outfits were splendid and gorgeous, except the first dress. And I myself like it better when her hair is straightened or wavy, not curled.

I just watched the concert and there's still a lot of stuff like the documentary, backstage stuff, etc. to watch, but I'll be able to watch it only during the weekend. But I'm already under the impression!
I think I might even purchase the dvd when it's out here (haven't bought cds/dvds for ages!).

Upd: I'm listening to the audio version of the concert now. OK, it's not like a record, but it sounds great, anyway.

I'm sharing almost all of just an illusion's impressions here - DVD is amazing.
Most of all I liked Somewhere and All I Need as music performances, and Our Solemn Our and Angels for visual presentation of the songs.
