Rating: Summary: The BEST music DVD I have seen! Review: I must admit that I was a little skeptical of some of the reviews of this DVD concerning sound quality, but after seeing it and hearing the stunning job done by Joe's crew I have fallen into the 'amazed' group of fans. I have been a fan of Joe Satriani since he released Surfing With The Alien, and I have often wondered what it would be like to see him live. Man was I blown away seeing him perform. He makes his guitar tricks look so effortless and seeing the two handed neck tricks on 'The Mystical Potato Head Groove Thing' was worth the price of the DVD! The sound quality is literally the best I have ever heard from a live recording. To me it was more like studio quality, but live! I am still out on the true genre of his music...JazzyMetalRockBlues...or something like that! Very Good!
Rating: Summary: Amazing!!! Review: This DVD is great!!! Great selection of songs. You get your money's worth and more! I would give this 10 stars if I could (5x2)! He is amazing! Joe is God! Incredibly creative guy! The added benefit of this DVD is it is done right: done in a small hall and the sound and video is absolutely fantastic!!! I couldn't recommend this more.
Rating: Summary: Slammin, Jammin, but, unfortunately, some Hammin Review: I have been impressed with Joe's style of guitar playing for quite some time now. I have a few of his CD's (Flying in a Blue Dream, Extremist, and Joe Satriani (the mellow one)) and it was a real treat to actually see him perform some of the complex sequences with the greatest of ease.POSITIVES to the DVD: Video quality is fantastic. Colors come out extremely well and the picture is crisp and very well detailed. Sound quality is also superb. 5.1 mix is fantastic. You really do feel like your in the crowd wanting to catch one of those picks he's throwin. Song selections were right on. I found myself wanting to get some of the other CD's now that I've heard it in concert. The price was excellent. 22 bones to get 2.5 hours of music. Cool!!!! NEGATIVE to the DVD: The only reason I gave this DVD 4 stars as opposed to 5 is simply for the subjective view that I'm not a fan of Satriani's singing style. He sings on one of the songs and that knocked one of the stars off for me. It's the same kind of feeling you get when you watch Michael Jordan playing Baseball. But aside from the singing, I whole heartedly recommend this DVD to anyone who loves guitar solos!!!!
Rating: Summary: AMAZING Review: I'm not kidding but this is quite simply the best DVD ever produced by anyone - concert or film. The picture is awesome the sound even better. The use of the dolby 5.1 is excellent - the music is actually mixed across the rear speakers and the front speaker which makes it sound like actually being there. The amount you get for your money is great too - two jam packed discs. Also another interview stated that the front middle speaker wasn't used?? Its a dialogue speaker you fool!! You know when people speak! Joe is instrumental. Finally I wish Steve Vai would do this as well - a tough one to follow. Buy it for god sake!!!!
Rating: Summary: Simply Amazing! Review: This is a must have for both Satriani fans and guitar players alike. The video and sound quality are simply stunning for a live performance. His guitar playing is flawless; you will find yourself in awe watching him. Probably one of the best DVDs in my collection, worth every penny.
Rating: Summary: Best musical DVD so far ... Review: I attended to the french performance and it was perfect This DVD gets me back into it, simply outstanding. top quality (video & audio), just what you are awaiting from the best guitarist ever... A MUST HAVE.
Rating: Summary: If you're a Joe Satriani fan, you must have this DVD Review: This is one on the best DVD's in my collection. I've been a fan of Joe Satriani since mid 80's, and the sound & video quality is outstanding. Nothing beats being at one of his concerts but this is almost as good. With the right system behind your DVD player is just as good as beinbg there. 2 DVD set will keep you glued to your favorite couch for a couple of ours listenign to this great guitar player.
Rating: Summary: virtusoic masterpiece Review: I always knew that Joe Satriani must be capable of playing the sounds I've heard on his albums. Otherwise they could not have been recorded. But to actually see this master of the fretboard create the music that I have listened to for the last 12 years is indeed a privilege. I had the honor of speaking to Joe on Rockline at the time "Flying in a Blue Dream" was being released. He is a very humble man who is seemingly devoid of ego. I have been playing guitar since 1969 but I feel like I am in kindergarten and Joe is a college graduate with a masters in guitar. Mr. Satriani goes beyond mere tricks on the guitar and creates beautifully crafted intricate melodies. The time changes on his tunes are not the normal fare you hear every day either.(...)I would have to admit that I am in awe of Joe Satriani every time I watch him. Anyone who loves guitar music should buy this video and cherish it. (...) It would make a great Xmas present for any guitarist you know. I don't care how advanced he is he will enjoy this tape.
Rating: Summary: Disappointed Review: I must start off by saying that this was done awfully bad. This DVD boosted its use of many cameras. Sound: DD 5.1 is without center channel info. Dolby ProLogic has the center channel info but suffers from inferior audio characteristics. Even with DD the audio is average. Video: Yes many cameras were used but very badly. I don't pay to see a musician playing from behind, or a shot so close as you cannot take in what and how it is completely being played. It switches to irrelevant shots of the audience or other musicians when Mr. Satriani is demonstrating his prowess during his solos. And I mean prowess that is being demonstrated all of his playing time. Their are other shots that sweep the audience or pan out away from Mr. Satriani under the same circumstances. Very dissapointing! This guy can play and it is arguable he is the most prominent guitarist since the term "guitar GOD" was formed. With this being said it is a crime that he is not being captured correctly before his time has passed us all. Worth a rent and you decide if you want to own.
Rating: Summary: I'd give it 6 stars if possible Review: This DVD is absolutely awesome. The video is crystal clear. The camera work is intriguing. The lighting is great. The audio is superb. The performances are magnificent. I recommend this to all Satch fans as well as all lovers of guitar rock. This is the best concert DVD I've found. If had to give it some sort of negative it would be tough but I'd say that the backstage interview was a little short. I'd also like more songs to support the Multi-Angle feature - but who wouldn't want that?!!! This is great - buy it buy it buy it - you won't regret it.
