Live in Amsterdam:Special Edition

Summary: Great but with one reservation!
Review: This is an excellent deal. You get the full TOTO live concert in digital color and sound- one of the best live shows I've seen on DVD. The playing as one might expect is absolutely stellar. Then you get the CD ( slightly shorter than the DVD but great listening for the car!)as a bonus, all for a knockdown price. Some have criticized the medley approach, but it works well within a concert context moving from one tune into another. Many of the tunes are played in almost their entirety while others are truncated but obvious enough to give the fans a real taste. How else are you going to draw from so much excellent material in one concert?
The reservation?....the DVD extra behind the scenes of "through The Looking Glass " tour. It seems it was an excuse for some middle aged men to use profanity and to moon the camera....high jinks that I, for one could have done without. Why not do a real behind the scenes? - conversations and information about their music, their instruments - because they are obviously extreme talents, still at the top of their game. That's the reason they lose a star. I already have teenagers...I don't need to watch 50 year olds acting like it!! Anyway buy this set for the excellent DVD concert and CD and enjoy Rock at its best.
