This is a UK live performance recorded
2013, released on video only in Japan in
2015, and now is available worldwide.
The new release is remastered.
Compared to the original release, it is
missing Marco's drum solo and the
encore, "Waiting for You". Both "U.K."
and "Danger Money" are played in their
entire original album sequence. A three
disc affair... Blu-ray, DVD, and Blu-ray
audio. Included is a seven page booklet
and Eddie writes his
thoughts/memories about each song.
Now I know Bruford's first lyric writing
was "Mental Medication". Marco and
Alex add a different vibe to the music.
Marco is a stronger rock drummer than
Bill, and he shows that on "The Only
Thing She Needs", my favorite track...
the band is on fire, tight, locked into a
great groove (during the instrumental
part) that is jaw dropping. Killer violin
solo from Eddie and Alex adds some
extra tasty chops. John's voice is strong
through the entire show and his bass
playing is solid. As for the mix. It's muddy and low end heavy. I would like to compare this to the original mix. Is it an improvement? Definitely removing Marco's solo can't be an improvement. The songwriting credits on the back of this release are incorrect, not giving Holdsworth his dues for two songs. That is criminal to me. Anyway, this is a priceless footage of two classic albums and a must have for fans.
