Awesome, amazing, a must have for any 80's 90's Metal Head.
Oh my goodness!!! It is so awesome to see yourself in a video! We are in many shots of the crowd becuse we were right in front of the stage. This video brought back all the excitement and electric feeling we had at the concert!! The extra footage and interviews are great! I have Loved Twisted Sister since I was an early teen. They were a big part of my life growing up. Thus was a great tribute to their drummer that passed away earlier that year. Brought back soo many great memories. One of the best shows I've ever been to.

Amazing performance by one of the greatest live bands of all time!
Great Bluray but could have been so much better! The mix of the band is excellent! They absolutely killed it on this night. (They pretty much did that every show they've played. I've seen them over 30 times and have never seen a bad show from them.) Which leads me to my complaints with this Bluray. I was at this show and the crowd was nuts! The energy that night was fantastic! You expect the audience to sing along with We're Not Gonna Take It but this crowd sang along with every word during Under The Blade! Every word! This was an amazing show! The problem is that as great as the band sounds on this video, they did not capture the energy of the room at all. The crowd is barely audible in the mix at all. Dee was repeatedly impressed with how loud the crowds was this night but on this disc, you hear Dee urging the crowd to sing along and there's nothing. You can't hear the audience at all. For some, that might be a good thing so take that for what it's worth. It is a fine line. But I just felt that they lost the energy of the show by having almost no audience reactions.My other complaint? Personally, I hate it when music video directors try to be cute and chop up the show and feel the need to stick interview footage throughout the show while chopping off some of the end or beginning of some of the songs in the process. They also cut out almost all of Dee's in between song banter with the audience. I consider Dee to be one of, if not the greatest, front men in rock and roll so his interaction with the audience is part of what makes a Twisted Sister show so great! Now, the interview footage is great. Don't get me wrong. My big issue here is that they chop up the performance to insert interview footage then you watch the bonus features and every minute of the interview footage that was spliced into the performance was included in the bonus features so it's just being duplicated! Give me the whole show and then leave the interviews as bonus footage if that's going to be the case. If there were no bonus footage and just the clips spliced in, I would have been fine with that but if you're just going to duplicate it in both places, what's the point?I was also a bit disappointed that they seemed to minimize the fact that this show was dedicated to the memory of their late drummer AJ Pero. That was a big focal point during the performance but almost all of Dee and Jay Jays comments about AJ ended up on the cutting room floor. With that said, the video of AJ's drummer solo was awesome the way they worked that into the show.With all that said, if you're a fan of Twisted Sister, it's still well worth picking up! The price is great for a 3 disc set and the performance is excellent! The band sounds awesome. Just try to imagine the intense out of control audience reacting to the band because that's what was actually there that night. With Twisted Sister calling it quits in 2016, this is a great disc to remember them by. If you love this one, then pick up the Live at the Astoria DVD/CD set as that one is amazing! That might be the best Twisted Sister live DVD to be released.
