O.K....just finished the show...wha time is it...?
I fergot that I'd posted this some time ago...ugh...have watched all those DVD's several times now...The Deep Purple "Live in California" was awesome. I was 3 then but was "right there" - tons of energy from the band. The video was "old" but great band footage. Unlike a lot of concerts these days that I've seen, the footage is mostly of the band - not the concert goers. They give you audio options - I was a little surprised to have that. They played late in the day and into the evening so it gave a great experience of an outdoor concert at dusk. The "Live and Rare" DVD was a collection of video's from the 80's and 90's and some concert footage. The concert footage was a little... "unenergetic" for their music. I just expected to have a livlier showing. It was a long dvd though...24 songs. The Judas Priest show was great. Done in 2002. The sound was exceptional and the picture was great quality IMO. One thing I've realized; as I watch the concerts, my opinion changes. The 1st time I'll watch one, I notice I'm not impressed as much as I think I'll be. After a few more viewings I get more into the shows. I just watched "Dio - Evil or Devine" and the 1st viewing, again was O.K....2nd was better and now I love it...
BTW Iron Maiden "Death on the Road" wow...
very good show...all around...
