Live From Beyond Hell Above Heaven [Blu-ray]

Live From Beyond Hell Above Heaven (Blu Ray)
I was very disappointed to find out that the format of this blu ray is an import format not capable of being played in North America. I tried to play this blu ray on 2 different PS3's and 3 different blu ray players. None of these players were able to play this blu ray properly. One player showed picture with no sound the rest could not read the disc. I love Volbeat but I am disappointed with this disc. Why sell it in the USA if it cannot be played here!

Let's get this straightened out
I want to set the record straight on this blu ray. I've seen several negative reviews for this blu ray that are without merit. Region 0 WILL play in North American players. I've played it in 5 different blu ray players. The only player that I've put it in and will not play it is a PS3. Now that that is out of the way...

The performances on this blu ray are amazing. They give you a wide spectrum of concert settings on this disc. You get a full arena show from Denmark, seven song set from a U.S. club show, and three songs from the 2011 Rock Am Ring festival in Germany. They went all out for the Denmark show. Every artist that has made a guest appearance on a Volbeat record was brought in for this show. And at the U.S. show you get guest appearances from Rob Caggiano (formerly from Anthrax, currently in Volbeat), and Scott Ian (Anthrax).

Long awaited live blu-ray does not disappoint
The die-hard Volbeat fan is going to cream on this one. Not only do you get the full "home-coming" Denmark concert (featuring appearances from a half dozen of the finest European acts) but you'll also get their 6-song set from a huge German outdoor concert and another 3-song set from an LA bar that features appearances from the Pantera guitarists.

Not sure why other Americans are having trouble with the blu-ray — played just fine for me.

Outstanding camera work from the Copenhagen show – the extras were fun. Warning — set your English subtitles before you start off or you're going to be learning Dutch real quick.

Highly recommended!
