Summary: Idolize this...
Review: Billy Idol rules. I have been a diehard fan for 21 years, since I was 13. I saw him 3 times in the '80s-'90s and have been back for more 3 times in the new millenium. Billy rocks as hard as ever and his music is as fresh and exciting today as it was when it was written.
This DVD is a must-own for anyone with even a passing Idol fancy. The sound is superb, the band is tight and exhilarating, and Sir William is in fine form, rocking out in excellent voice and looking terrific. He is a fantastic storyteller with a great sense of humor. You feel, watching and listening to him spin his tales, that you've gone round the pub with him for a pint. He is thoughtful, intelligent, and really funny.
Although every single song on this DVD is amazing and sounds wonderful in this setting, two deserving special mention are the Gen X classics "Kiss Me Deadly" and "The Untouchables". Billy introduces "Kiss Me Deadly" by explaining how the song came to be and his heartfelt delivery is truly touching. These two songs are so dear to him (and me) and witnessing his performance of them brought a tear to my eye.
It is a testament to the man and his music that every single song sounds so vibrant in this stripped down setting. And Steve Stevens is nothing short of brilliant.
Don't wait - order this via "1-click" immediately! And Billy - we want more, more, more!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Good
Review: Enjoyed it. Nice to see Billy with a snearing image is--like Keith Richards--actually a polite genleman when you hear him talk. He tells good anecdotes, and the music is good. I even prefer this version of SWEET SIXTEEN.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: God, aren't we all getting old!!!
Review: I loved Billy Idol when I was at school, when everything was big and loud. His music always had a hook which just caught you.
I must admit though, a strong reason for his great music was due to Steve Stevens and lo and behold he's on this DVD and deservingly so.
The stories in-between the songs are a great laugh, and the music goes along really well.
My only regret is that the electric guitar with full distortion didn't come out earlier for a play.
But it is a aged Billy Idol I was watching as my little boy was jumping up and down on my ever growing guts...I too am not as young as I used to be. But he still kick ass. Good on him.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: Great Video
Review: I throughly enjoyed this video. Billy Idol looks a lot older and mellower, but his energy level is still the same.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Billy Rocks!
Review: I was never a fan of Billy Idol until I saw a couple of his storytellers songs on VH1. Right then I new I had to buy the DVD. It is great because it is a very intimate performance (not many people and not a big stage). It's also great because you will get the acoustic version of some of the songs. The sound is pretty good as well as the video. If you like Billy, then you'll like this DVD...so go get it!
