Format:VHS Tape
This video shows footage of the concert in Rio. A-Ha perform their most famous hits including Take On Me, and there are interviews with the band members. It is a shame that the video is not long enough.

Format:VHS Tape
Right from start with 'The Sun Always Shines On TV' to the end with 'Take On Me' this is a rocky experience. The track listing is perfect; 'The Sun...' is a perfect starter with it's exciting beginning. I also think that the dircetor, Lauren Waaktaar-Savoy helps making this video to a almost religous experince for a intelligent a-ha fan. I really felt pleased after watching this video and I think that the highlights are 'The Sun Always...', 'Cry Wolf', 'Touchy!', 'Early Morning' and of course the perfect ending with 'Take On Me'. It's smart of Waaktaar-Savoy to show the dancing couple to the final song.
Right now I just hope that the 'Homecoming: Live in Valhall' video/DVD will be just as satisfying!
Format:VHS Tape
I disagree with the above reviews: I liked the more creative visual style. This is A-ha at their finest. Gone are the poppy synthy sounds of the previous decade, and in with their pre break up mature sound - edgy guitars and more accoustic and expressive. This featires their East of The Sun album and earlier, in their style of that time (despite being the year of Memorial Beach, they don't play any of its songs live). This is the best rendition of Scoundrel Days - a soaring electric guitar solo and Hammond organ backing. I am sorry that the tape isn't longer and that it is not available on DVD - after 12 years, my video's wearing up.

They should have had a different director
I had this on VHS and I hope they don't bother releasing it on DVD. The musical performances are fine, though some of it must be mimed because different shots in each song are cut... Read more

Good and Bad
A-ha rocks on this video. They sound great live, the band is true to form, but Lauren Savoy gets in the way visually. Read more

nice songs - shame about the video
I was really looking forward to seeing this - having recently seen A-ha in concert I was eager to get some sort of video record of their live performances. Read more
