Summary: soulfully played und sung from glenn
Review: (This review is based on the japan edition released on 20th August) The live gig has been filmed at the Sound Image Studio: Studio A in Northern Hollywood, California on January 11, 2004.
For those who loves the songwriting, the mighty voice and the funky bass playing of Glenn Hughes "Suolfully" is a must. Joined by some great musicians (Chad Smit of Red Hot Chili Peppers on drums is really amazing), Glenn performs some of his best songs spanning from Trapeze and Deep Purple classics (superb versions of "Mistreated" and "You Keep on Movin')to most recent stuff like "higher places". Glenn sings and plays straight from his
hearth and soul and shows once more that he stands above the vast majority of what is released nowadays. No more words are needed.

Summary: Glenn Hughes - Soulfully Live in the City of Angels
Review: First of all, let me start by saying that I am a HUGE Glenn Hughes fan. I've been following his career since the Trapeze days and I think he is one of the best and most soulful vocalist around. I have all his discs and I will continue to buy his discs because he's something special. Now, the problem with the DVD. First of all, I don't like the filters that were used in the production of the video. Secondly, there is a very clear disconnect between the music and the video. It just doesn't gel! Too much technological meddling. And clearly there are many times where you hear Glenn's voice but he is not singing at the mike. What does this mean? Well, in my opinion , it appears that he's overdubbed quite a bit of the vocals, if not all of them. This is a live concert for crying out loud. I want to see a performance with the warts and all, otherwise I'll listen to the studio CD. Glenn Hughes is amazing but this DVD was extremely disappointing to me. Not to mention that the individual tracks are not even indexed. Hopefully next time we will see a real performance!

Summary: could have been great....
Review: Glenn Hughes makes fantastic music. However, he makes inferior DVD's.The video on this is incredibly poor. It looks like it was filmed using a video phone.The music is great but the poor quality of picture spoils the show.I am really surprized that this was released with poor video.
I suggest buying the CD instead.
This could have been a great concert DVD....

Summary: Where is the voice of Rock?
Review: I bought this as an import along with the 2CD set and let me tell you, I should have passed on the whole thing. Glenn has had a long career with lots of songs to choose from. Why these? Most didn't rock and were all just so unnecessarily long and boring. I own most if not all of his recordings and when trying to order this, I could not be supplied with the song list. Bad sign. When I received it, I just couldn't believe the songs omitted and what ended up as the list. The studio was setup as some throwback velvet walled 70's club and the different camera speeds and angles just didn't work. I thought this was going to be a concert film. It is just Glenn and his band in front of some people who are just laid back and watching. Just not very exciting and if this was done and released, what was edited out? This fan sold both the dvd and the CDs. Save your money and find a bootleg of him in actual concert, not this. The dvd and CD packages were nicely done though by the people at Frontiers records. The packaging brought up the rating on this. If you don't own "Burning Japan Live", pick that up instead.

Summary: Heartbroken Glenn Hughes Fan.
Review: Warning!!!....Stay away from this DVD!!!

As a longtime Glenn Hughes fan I was heartbroken by the quality of this DVD. The performance is great but the quality of the video was possibly inferior that of some webcasts. The video also seems to have been filmed with a time delay effect making glenn's vocals and the also the drummer's playing out of time with what we are seeing on the screen.

During darker moments we are subjected to a unacceptable amount of pixelation all over the image.

Glenn Hughes as an artist should never have permitted such a shoddy (Grab The Money And Run) release to have ever hit the shelves.

Shame On Him!!
