The release includes an additional bonus DVD featuring select footage from the years 2004 to 2006 from Pell's private vaults, including the 2005 Wacken Open Air, the same year's Bang Your Head!!!, the 2004 Sweden Rock Festival and shows in the UK, Belgium, Switzerland, and his local club, the Zeche in Bochum."

With a total playing time of over three and a half hours, "Live Over Europe" is a comprehensive document highlighting the impressive live qualities of a band which has quite a few things up its sleeve for this year.
