thanks for upload this!!

imho, this ranks amongst the most progressive and complex art-rock music ever made. this is up there with the best songs from pink floyd, king crimson, tool or opeth. the gathering is amazing.

Yeah Centure Media should have asked the bands permission to release the DVD, but i also think both concerts on this disc should of been released in full. Its also strange that The Gathering and CM never talked about releasing any further live DVD's, or even a extended version of "In Motion".

Oh well, loved this performance anyway. A classic moment in rock music, and from the limited amout of material released on dvd, this is how i wish to remember them.

@newvortex i agree with you. i dont know why band members would feel any sort of detachment from these performances that CM released on a dvd. maybe the record company wanted money, but for fans this is absolutely precious live material from a brilliant live band! a classic (yet overlooked!) moment in rock history, like you said:)

Is there someone that has this song in DVD-Audio format, i will be very grateful!!!

[veca83]

@ILikeWellRounded have you tried using video-to-audio converting software? its not HQ sound, but at least you can get this song in mp.3 format. of course, you also have superheat version of S&M (not rihanna song :)))

@veca83 well since i have it in 224kbps i dunno if this beats its quality, i am searching for at least a 320kbps. :) Anyway, thanks for the advice. :)
