In 2020, Gamma Ray celebrated their anniversary – 30 years of true metal! Despite not being able to fill a hall with devoted fans like they usually do due to covid-restrictions, they decided to put on a hell of a show. Filmed with several cameras, the show at the impressive ISS Dome in Duesseldorf, Germany brought band and fans together via Live-Stream. To incorporate the fans into the show, the band members invited them to send in recordings of themselves screaming, hailing and whistling to their favourite Gamma Ray songs which will be added to the end of the show. – GAMMA RAY : 30 YEARS OF AMAZING AWESOMENESS 1 Induction 2 Dethrone Tyranny 3 New World Order 4 Avalon 5 Master of Confusion 6 Empathy 7 Rebellion in Dreamland 8 Land of the Free 9 Lust for Life 10 One With The World 11 The Silence 12 Armageddon 13 Heading for Tomorrow 14 Send Me A Sign/Outro

This release was recorded during the 1993 Melodic Metal Tour at Hamburg’s Dock’s venue on September 25, sharing the bill with fellow German headbangers Rage, whose performance has also been released on DVD and the review can be seen here. The lineup for this show consisted of Ralf Scheepers on lead vocals, Kai Hansen on guitar, Dirk Schlachter on guitar and keyboards, Jan Rubach on bass and Thomas Nack on drums. The show was to see one of the last performances of Scheepers as he left the band soon after this tour. Based on a three album recording career including the albums Heading For Tomorrow, Sigh No More and Insanity and Genius the band had an established fan base coming into this tour. The show is a mix of live performances and interviews, giving a great insight into the show but also to some behind the scenes goings on. It also includes footage in the recording studio for the production of the Insanity and Genius album.

Heading for the East was recorded live on November 11th, 1990 at Shibuya Kokaido Hall in Tokyo, Japan by the German power metal band Gamma Ray following the release of their album Heading for Tomorrow.

"Skeletons & Majesties Live" features the live recording of the band's performance at the legendary Z7 in Pratteln, Switzerland from April 29th, 2011 . The DVD and Blu-ray also feature additional bonus tracks, lots of behind the scenes bonus material, rare archive material and interviews with the band.
