Wacken is Europe's largest open air festival, and 2004 was its 15th anniversary. This 3 CD/2 DVD collection features over 3 ½ hours of live performances from artists like Dio, Motorhead, Anthrax, Cannibal Corpse and many more. The audio quality is great, and if you weren't able to make it there yourself, this is the next best thing.
