Originally released in 1993, Live captures Doro Pesch at a pivotal point in her career. The audio recordings were made during her "Angels Never Die" tour in the early ’90s and document the extraordinary stage presence with which she established herself early on as one of the most recognizable voices in international heavy metal. The video footage was recorded during electrifying concerts in Hamburg and Cologne and has been meticulously remastered for this DVD re-release.
DORO first gained international recognition in the 1980s as the frontwoman of Warlock. With albums such as Burning the Witches (1984), Hellbound (1985), True As Steel (1986), and Triumph and Agony (1987), the band reached a global audience. Songs like “All We Are” and “Für Immer” became staples and absolute evergreens in the genre, while Warlock was among the first German metal bands to tour internationally and conquer the U.S. market.
Thanks to her authenticity, stage presence, unique voice, and special connection with her fans, DORO quickly rose to become a defining figure in a male-dominated scene worldwide. In 1986, she was also the first woman to perform on stage at the legendary Monsters of Rock festivals.
Live reflects DORO’s special qualities, combining Warlock classics with early solo material and showcasing the close connection between the artist and her audience.
Throughout her global career, DORO has received numerous awards. In 2022, DORO was honored with the Lifetime Achievement Award, having previously been awarded an Echo (1994), the Metal Goddess Legend Award in Las Vegas, the Legend Award in England and Germany, the Angel Of Rock Award in England, and many other accolades, as well as being voted “sexiest woman alive.” All of this underscores DORO’s enduring significance for the international rock & metal scene and her undisputed title as the “Metal Queen”!
The new edition of Live will be released on July 3, 2026 on DORO’s own label, Rare Diamonds Productions, as a CD/DVD in a digipack and as a CD in a jewel case.
DORO’s former record label, Universal, will simultaneously release a strictly limited-edition picture vinyl, including liner notes penned by Doro Pesch herself. A portion of the 500-copy run will also include a hand-signed art print by the artist. The new editions will be available for pre-order starting next week! Cover and tracklisting are as follows:
