DragonForce - Black Winter Night (Live) 

Gee is very underrated. The guy can sing, throw sticks in the air and play the drums insanely fast, all at once and without skipping a single beat.

Man, I remember when Dragonforce was terrible live, this was so good that for a good minute I forgot I was listening to a live performance.

How many change of keys do you want? Dragonforce: Yes!

DragonForce has so many members from so many countries (Not just England, but also Hong Kong, Ukraine, France, Italy, and South Africa combined) they might as well be a global band rather than just a British (as they're based in London) power metal band, which I as an American metalhead LOVE. I'm all for musicians from different places around the world coming together and creating something as magical as DragonForce is. Cheers, chaps!

Even though I feel ZP's voice (at time of studio recording) was more optimized for this song, I find Marc totally serviceable. But most importantly, he's revived the band's desire to put effort into their live shows, and that is what's put them back on my must-see concert list.

Holy...Dragonforce tightened up their live show over the years...This is flawless. Awesome!

Who's here again..?????

One of the best Winter Holidays song ever made.

0:32 Vadim was jumping. The keyboard wanted to jump with Vadim.

DragonForce has a special place in my heart they will be my favorite no matter what.

Day after day as I bodies slay And the sun becomes dark in the sky Everything's lost for this human race And the dawn of a new age will rise Rays of sunlight now are gone Only visions of ice will remain The fallen ones and forgotten souls Will rise up over the slain No more hope As we raise our hands to the sky No more dreams As the rivers run dry Everything's lost all is left astray Only sorrow and sadness remains The curtains have dropped on our fallen world And the forces of darkness shall rise Why can't you see what has happened to thee Can you not open your eyes? Everything's lost there is no retreat And the valleys echo with pain No more hope As we raise our hands to the sky No more dreams As the rivers run dry On the endless sea of madness we sail forever more And the endless tears of sadness towards the distant shores When the flame has died forever we stand one and all With the power of the almighty sword We fight the battle on the fields tonight To save us from the master of all evil sign And to the battle on Forever standing strong We feel the fire power of the night warriors No more tomorrow Dying of sorrow Over the mountains and up through the trees Traveling across seven seas No more hope As we hold our hands to the sky No more dreams As the rivers run dry On the endless seas of madness we sail forever more And the endless tears of sadness towards the distant shores When the flame has died forever we stand one and all With the power of the almighty sword We fight the battle on the fields tonight To save us from the master of all evil sign And to the battle on Forever standing strong We feel the fire power of the night warriors On the endless seas of madness we sail forever more And the endless tears of sadness towards the distant shores When the flame has died forever we stand one and all With the power of the almighty sword We fight the battle on the fields tonight To save us from the master of all We fight the battle on the fields tonight To save us from the master of all evil sign And to the battle on Forever standing strong We feel the fire power of the night warriors Power of the night warriors

I remember “meeting” DragonForce first on Guitar Hero 3 (the classic 😂). After that, I started to like their songs and loved ZP’s voice. Through the years back then, I started to notice ZP’s voice to fail due to smoking if not incorrect (you may notice his “damaged” voice in the live album “Twilight Dementia”) and the songs were lowered a half-key from the original(s). Also, the live performances back then started to sound bad. After ZP’s departure for lack of ideas(?), Marc then came and rescued the band with his new and fresh powerful voice debuting on “The Power Within”. Ex DF drummer Dave Mackintosh left the band after “The Power Within” unfortunately, but then came Gee Anzalone. Now though the years, the band’s live performances have progressed and now they sound a LOT better (almost like an album!). This is the result for years of hard work and dedication. Kudos DragonForce! 👏👏👏

This band, with these exact members, is one of the very few newer bands, that makes real, genuine, high-quality rock music. They deserve to play on arenas every single time, as what they are doing is to restore the faith in the rockfans, that not all of the really good rock and roll is already in the past. RESPECT.

What won me over to this performance was just seeing the entire band singing the pre-chorus and chorus. Like despite the tempo they play at, at the end of the day their music is very anthemic at heart, inspired by the 80's so much, that it wouldn't be right if the whole stage wasn't belting it out.

So beautiful 4:54

Nobody remeber when they said We will raise our swords high On the black winter night Sing the power and glory for all We will never surrender We stand strong and fight For the king and the crown we'll not fall... But i love it all versions of this song DragonForce for ever

The best group of power metal, I love them

They make a complex rendition look completely effortless. Truly talented musicians, even if this isn’t your sort of music. I take my hat off to you lads. I’m impressed.

this is the real DragonForce instead of DrunkenForce!

Epic live footage. They sound dramatically better than 10-12 years ago. Amazing! Marc's vocals are superb every time.

They just keep getting better and better over the time. Love the energy they have on live shows.

I love hearing and seeing all six of them singing at once. Amazing.

One of my favorite live performances from any band, incredible stuff!

DragonForce Forever 🤘🐲

Saw them in 2009. The guitars have gotten SOO much tighter over the years! Super props to these guys for reigning back and hitting the notes rather than just wailing away \m/

I miss this lineup. Everyone is so talented and it sounds amazing

Well brothers...we came a long way. From the 2006'ish lives to this. Gotta say, my favorite Power Metal band of all time surely evolved a lot

WITH THE POWER OF THE ALMIGHTY SWOOOOORRRDDD... That's so addictive

1:42 Sam Totman to camera. 2:49 Sam totman Laugh with Gee in front of drum.

i love when live video sounds, so great! it's played with so much more passion and energy than recorded ones in studio.

Last night this winter I am listening to this song as a celebration of winter's end and as a way to say goodbye to it.

4:54 fffuuuuu that whammy assist

I met them with this song ... and with "Through the fire and flames" I fell in love with them ...

I Love dragonfoce so much wish you guys have a wonderful concert here in Philippines.

4:53 AMAZING ASSISTENCE

Good work guys Dragonforce is love, Dragonforce is life

Think I've seen this more than 20 times now, so fucking amazing, best song! =)

5:10 What a smooth change! I didnt expect that they now play their live very well than 2008. so much wow!

The intro to this song always got to me.... even on the album...so amazing...especially 0:48 !!

My ABSOLUTE Favorite DragonForce song!!!

Normally i'm pretty chill when listening to music, but when I'm listening to dragonforce and I'm alone, I get possed and I just have to sing along and dance.

Damm this is same as the studio version. HOLLY SHITT! I've thought that I'm never see and hear they sounds like that in Live Performance. Great Job DF

They are INCREDIBLE !!! I love them

I LOVE YOU DRAGONFORCE! Never stop making music!

HOW THE FUCK CAN ANYONE NOT LIKE THIS BAND?!

OMG good memories come back to my mind right now. I remember I just couldn't help listening to the whole Valley of the damned album as soon as I downloaded in a shitty and slow rapidshare link btw!! lol!! I was just 15 years old then... I know noobs are only aware of this band when it comes to talking about power metal bands. It's just they are not really power metal...but come on! Let's admit it! There are many of us who have a good time listening to this band!! Im very glad for having bumped into this video. Thanks for posting. Greetings from Chile.

Amazing DragonForce 🔥 Big love from Indonesia 🤘

I know ZP's voice was meant for this song, entirely. But, I honestly don't mind Marc singing it. And it makes me wonder how ZP would sound on DF's new songs. Anyone agree?

Utterly beautiful 💯

Awesome performance!

0:31 The keyboardist knocked over a keyboard at the beginning of the song 😅😂

Amazing like the usual ( after the dark ages)!!!! ❤️❤️❤️
