Description
This DVD features the live performance of Pain of Salvation's conceptual masterpiece, Be, complete with an orchestra and animated footage. Before Pain of Salvation entered the studio to record Be, they performed the music live over the course of several nights in front of music students and in rock clubs. A camera crew followed them around to document the performances for this DVD. "It seems that everybody was deeply impressed," says creator Daniel Gildenlow. "I think, however, in order to grasp every detail of the show one would have to watch it three or four times."

Be Live comes packaged with a bonus Live CD.

5 out of 5 stars Awesome concept DVD!!!!   August 11, 2008
Dan Rainone (New Jersey)
This dvd is loaded with great stuff.
There's the full concert, which is awesome. The performances were flawless (except for in one hidden extra), the orchestra added a new dimension to the band, and the visual concepts were great. This is the only show I've seen where the stage is bigger than the crowd!
There are some different lyrics, as this was before the studio album was released, but it gives you different ways to see the songs.

Along with the concert, there are a bunch of extra stuff. There's a ton of extra phone calls that weren't included on the album, a commentary track, the religious fanatics track (which is just every song backwards), and some other stuff.
Then there's the hidden features that you have to figure out for yourself using the clues they give you. These hidden extras include another commentary track (very funny), Mike Portnoy's phone call, and different intro videos.

This DVD will keep you occupied for a good amount of time. Enjoy it.



5 out of 5 stars Best Pain of Salvation there is!   May 29, 2008
Nicholas Maggiulli
If you loved the album, buy this. Plain and simple. All of the themes are there and the performance is amazing. Complete with an orchestra and multiple tribal drums, this performance is both tantalizing and harmonious. Pain of Salvation are at their best here.


5 out of 5 stars Best music album ever, complete with live show.   March 31, 2008
Paul Franklin (Lawrenceville, GA USA)
BE by Pain of Salvation has to be the single best album created in the face of music. The Progressive Metal moguls have outdone all of their past works with this masterpiece. Daniel Gildenlow's brainchild, BE never misses a beat as it tells the story of the creation of God and the rise and fall of humanity to greed and corruption.

With this DVD, the BE experience is complete. You simply have to watch this to take in the entire album. The DVD, recorded before the album's release, is solid gold. You need to get this album, and definately this DVD with it.



5 out of 5 stars Absolutely the best live DVD I've ever seen   July 8, 2007
S. Perry (MA)
Pain of Salvation isn't exactly a household name, so I figured the quality of this DVD may suffer a bit from budget limitations. I was SO wrong. The production is beautiful. The performance is flawless. And they somehow produce a sense of intimicy that I've never seen before. They prove every inch of their musicianship is for real. Daniel's pipes are just as good live as in studio. He gets to indulge his theatrical side. And there's even a bit of humor with everyone doning their shades for Dea Pecuniae. The only bad thing I can say about this DVD is it may be the only opportunity many of us will ever get to see POS live. Thought I've certainly got my fingers crossed.

The BE DVD may be hard to get into at first but its well worth it once you "Get It". Some of the lyrics are different from the CD so it makes for a nice contrast.
