On July 23rd of 2005, Manowar headlined the Earthshaker Fest 2005. This performance was a unique historical event as it included a grand finale featuring Manowar members past and present on stage as one powerful, heavy ... more »metal legion, as well as an epic set up with a 200-piece choir and orchestra. The majesty and emotion of this event and the overwhelming reaction of more than 25 000 fans in attendance serves as a fantastic example of the preeminence that Manowar embodies. Accompanying this spectacular concert, the Manowar Mega Fan Convention itself was something to marvel at. Thousands of fans from countries across the globe converged on Geiselwind, Germany for three days of Manowar festivities. After witnessing the devotion and commitment of Manowar's fans, it is obvious why the band attests to having "the greatest fans in the world." Their first headliner DVD recording, The Day The Earth Shook - The Absolute Power contains over 6 hours of footage, filmed in full 5.1 sound with 27 HD cameras and comes housed in a unique multiflap digipak with 12 page booklet.« less

"Yes the Earth shook on that day! There is no doubt about it! This DVD is a new Manowar masterpiece and I have been a fan of Manowar for about 19 years now and with each release Manowar does it every time! The quality of the DVD is totally mind blowing. The picture and sound is superior and the production is totally astonishing! Just the quality itself does not mean anything without the proper content and I assure you this DVD has it all!
The live show is mind blowing. The total length is 7 hours, filmed in full HD quality with 27 cameras and the biggest suprise of this DVD is, it features all band members past and present on the same stage performing!!! This is a dream for many harcore Manowar fans like me. The DVD also includes the extended version of the Manowar Fan Convention which is totally cool.
If you are a Manowar fan the chances are you have already ordered this DVD, if you are a heavy metal fan this is a must have Metal masterpiece. if you are a poser well... Leave the hall!!!"

"When I thought that Manowar reached their top, and started to repeat, they remade themselves live, in this awesome presentation. A must to a fan, a must to anyone in heavy metal willing to have a piece of live history in his hands. 3 awesome guitars. 3 spectacular drums. One super chorus. One orchestra. 2 full hours on one disc, of full music.
Heavy metal is the law, and as a chorolarium this DVD.
HAIL AND KILL"
Best DVD of my life

"Of course when someone write about a DVD is for some secoNdary good or bad reaction... this is not the exception, but. Of my long list of rock power or heavy music DVD, this became the pearl.
Excelent Video quality (just comparable as Maiden death on the road)
Excelent 5.1 , not comparable to anything
Excelent play list
Is awesome how 1 bass?, 1 guitar, 1 drum and the big voice make so loud sound.
The extras are really great , too much material to see. This is a REAL DVD born to be a DVD.... not a recorded concert with a couple of interviews.
Not a fan of Manowar till this (1 week ago)
buy THIS"
Simply the best concert of Manowar in DVD!!
