Well my DVD-R arrived, but the paper label was glued improperly and the dvd itself cracked, so I had to send it back hoping for a replacement...
The patch on the other hand is totally awesome and the craftsmanship is exquisite! I asked the band from where it was ordered so I can purchase some patches for our releases, but have yet to get a response on that.

My DVD came in a shattered case , as because I'd also ordered the autographed poster, it was fucked because they used it to wrap the DVD.

Has anybody watched this and can confirm that the dvd actually contains LIVE AUDIO and not the album tracks mixed with live footage?

My DVD and poster arrived today (after more than 3 weeks inside EU... in this time I could have freakin' walked there and picked it up myself) in same condition as yours.
So far I only watched Notre Dame... but I don't think it's live audio... at least vocs are not live... as far as instruments go the sound is really well in sync with the video.. at least from what I've picked up. I'll get back to you tomorrow 100 % on this...

I have received mine, but I havent seen it yet. First impression by looking at the DVDR was 'CHEAP' and now that I'm reading that it is probably dubbed from the album I'm beginning to feel a bit frustrated. I will try to see some of it tonight and will come back with some feedback.

I saw 5 tracks...if this isn't the album tracks mixed with live footage then it must be the single most perfect and faithful-to-the-album live perfomance in the history of music. The only part that sounded truly live are the keys in the beginning of Mistress. My DVD player also refuses to play the damn thing because of the fucking CD label, I'm watching this from my PC...Disappointed is an understatement...

There's no live footage in D.V.R. either and I'll be damned if that is a real clip of Mad Mad World

How utterly pointless. I wonder if there was any soundtrack for the show recorded and if so, why they dubbed it over with the album tracks. I mean, the live footage looks so extremely cool, but it's worthless without the audio.

Yeah, the first thing one should do is soak it in hot soapy water and scrub off that paper label. That's what I'm going to do once I get a replacement.

With a little effort you can scrub it off without putting it in hot water first. The glue of the label is not very strong.

As Ion already concluded this is fake, cheap and utterly disappointing.
I suspect that the actual live audio track sounded to bad (as is hinted in the beginning of Mistress) for an official release, but I would still prefer a not so good sounding actual live concert than this.

I am VERY happy that I didn't order this!

Well, given it is a self-released effort with all proceedings going back to the band I can close my eyes on the packaging quality and would support them again. Cannot comment on the actual content yet since I was unable to play it.
The rectangular embroidered patch is beyond awesome! Whoever did it used ultra-thin threads and the detail, materials, and craftsmanship are totally exquisite. Definitely not made in China or Bangladesh for certain.
