Live in the LBC & Diamonds in the Rough is the first live DVD, and compilation album by heavy metal band Avenged Sevenfold released on September 16, 2008 by Warner Bros. Records. The live DVD features the band's April 10, 2008 show at Long Beach Arena headlining the Rockstar Taste of Chaos tour, while the CD contains previously unreleased B-sides that were recorded during the making of the band's self-titled 2007 album, plus covers, and other never-before-heard material.
Production and release[edit]
The DVD was directed by Core Entertainment's Rafa Alcantara, who also worked on the band's critically acclaimed 2007 road documentary All Excess.[4][5]
On August 15, 2008, a trailer was released by Avenged Sevenfold on their YouTube channel. On September 5, 2008, Avenged Sevenfold released the live version of 'Seize the Day' from the DVD through their imeem account. 'Unholy Confessions' and 'Scream' were later streamed before the release as well.
There are two alternate mixes of songs on their self-titled album:
- The CLA Mix of 'Almost Easy' is simply the original song as mixed by Chris Lord-Alge, instead of Andy Wallace. This includes the mixing of The Rev's vocal take as well as M. Shadows.
- The alternate version of 'Afterlife' features a different bridge and a string section throughout the entire song.
The Rev performs vocals on the tracks 'Crossroads', 'Flash of the Blade', 'Almost Easy', 'A Little Piece of Heaven' and 'Afterlife'.
Live in the LBC & Diamonds in the Rough has been certified Platinum by the RIAA. On November 5, 2008, the CD/DVD combo was certified Gold, but has now reached Platinum by selling over 100,000 (Video Longform platinum) copies.[6]
In January 2020, Avenged Sevenfold released 'Set Me Free', an unreleased song recorded during the Hail to the King recording sessions. They also announced that the song would be included in a remastered re-release of Live in the LBC & Diamonds in the Rough, expected to be released on March 6 and February 7, respectively. A limited edition clear vinyl of Diamonds in the Rough was also announced.[7]
Critical reception[edit]
The album received mixed to positive reviews upon release in 2008. Jim Kaz from IGN wrote 'Avenged Sevenfold have proven that there is a way to successfully crossover and bend genres without alienating or insulting the base. With top-notch musicianship and a knack for pinching the best bits from different styles and eras, this is one band to keep pace with.' Ultimate Guitar wrote 'The CD feels very much like another fresh studio release if you haven't been exposed to the B-sides, while the DVD features a sound mix that is just as strong as if it was also recorded in the studio.'
