I finished wathcing this DVD, and here is my review of it:
This DVD is not as bad as other people were saying, in fact it is a very, very good DVD. First of all the performance was AWESOME. A great set list which lasted about 2hr30min. Izzy was there, Kid Rock was there, all the greatest hits, 5 new songs, now an awesome DVD, what more can you ask for?
This is a great DVD. First of all, the audio is very good. I?d give it an A-. It is a 2 camera mix......well most of it is. The DVD starts off not to good. There is only 1 camera filming and its not very good. The filmer is very shaky, and is constantly putting his hands over the lens. Also, the camera keeps getting blocked by other people in the audience. The person also filmed the screen so on songs like ?Its So Easy,? you don?t see the band at all. For the last minute or so of ?Mr. Brownstone,? the screen is completely black. The DVDs quality starts to pick up during ?Think About You? with Izzy Stradlin. The filmer starts showing the band instead of the screen. There are some great close ups including some great close-ups of Izzy. The screen is black for the first part of Robin Finks solo. Sweet Child of mine is really when the quality gets good. The taper focuses on each member of the band a little bit, but the screen does go black a little in the middle. The 2nd camera kicks in during the end of the solo and that is when the quality gets great. The video is soooo much better with the second camera. From this point on the quality is GREAT. There is very little shots with hands or heads in front of the camera, almost no black screens(except a little during Richard Fortus? solo), it is just a great rocking show.
In conclusion I will rate the first 7 songs with a B-, the Audio an A- and the last 19 songs an A-. Enjoy!
I finally got to scan through this today and I totally agree with your review. Once you get past the beginning it really gets a million times better, just wishing they used way more of that 2nd and much better cam. The only other annoyance I found was the seller's marking at the bottom of the screen and his message at the end of every disk about suppoting him so he can get more shows, yadda yadda. One time would have been sufficient, I got the point that he wants to make some money back. All in all a good memory to have of an awesome history making show!
