Amazon.co.uk Review
On the DVD: Extra features are thin on the ground. There's a set of scrolling biographies (which don't understand the remote's "scan" command, so they go--by--very--slowly) but nothing else to speak of. In the end the playing is the thing on any outing like this, so just enjoy it. --Roger Thomas

Menu functions on the DVD are really poor, but then you're not buying this for the extra features are you? just for the jaw-dropping guitar playing. You won't be disappointed.
Next up is eric johnson who despite being slightly to jazzy for every die hard rock fanatic is admirable in his widdly diddliness.
And last but not least we have steve vai who from the start proves that whilst being an excellent musician is completely and utterly insane (just watch how he ends his solo in goin' down)
the final 3 songs are a joy,especially goin' down and my guitar wants to kill yo mama.
however i have some complaints:
.its not very long
.some songs shouldnt have been there (cool no9)
.the bassists shirt is a spangly number that i feel degrades the performance's look
on the whole though it is very enjoyable over and over agian
Image quality is spot on, perfect for freeze framing those difficult chord fingerings! Sound is great too, especially when routed through a Dolby 5.1 compatible system.
I'd have bought it just for satch but you get the additional benefit of seeing Vai AND Johnson in action. To be honest satch blows them out of the water but it is still great to see Vai perform For the love of God and the upbeat Attitude Song.
Johnson seems a little out of place especially during the revealing jams at the end. He wears headphones throughout the whole 3 song jam - I've read in interviews this is so he can't hear the other guitarists! A bit strange.
You have to see the Red House redendition, the final song, to believe it. Satch + Vai tie up the solo with a fantastic unison solo which really demonstrates their understanding of each others styles.
My only gripe is the lack of any decent extras. You get biographies and the usual stuff but it would have been great to get some behind the scenes footage, or even some soundcheck footage!
Also the DVD doesn't run in show order. The show ran with Vai first followed by Johnson and then Satch. The DVD swaps Vai and Satch around. A bit picky perhaps but us fans like things to be accurate!
Despite this I couldn't rate it anything other than 5 stars. There aren't many great shred guitar DVDs out there, the only other great one is Dream Theater's Scenes from a Memory DVD, so this is one to buy ASAP and then retreat to your woodshed to start relearning your guitar!

This is a good little package - 3 songs from each guitarist is more than enough - plus a... Read more
