Outstanding performance

Format:Blu-ray|Amazon Verified Purchase
I first saw this performance on the PBS series Soundstage and was completely blown away. Billy sounds better than ever and has incredible energy and charisma. The band are phenomenal too, especially Steve Stevens on guitar. The concert was filmed in high definition so this blu-ray should look and sound superb. This release contains three additional songs that were not shown on PBS.
The one huge problem is that several of my favorite Billy Idol songs are not included. "Hot in the City," "To Be a Lover," "Sweet Sixteen," "Mony Mony" and "Cradle of Love" were all performed the night this show was recorded but were left off! Here is the track list:
Super Overdrive
Dancing With Myself
Flesh for Fantasy
Touch my Love
White Wedding
Scream
Eyes Without a Face
Cry
Blue Highway
Ready Steady Go
Rebel Yell
Kiss me Deadly

In Super Overdrive Live
27 Dec 2009
By Aaron Small
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:DVD
Originally filmed for the US television series Sound Stage and broadcast in July 2009, this 70-minute, 12-song DVD showcases Billy Idol in concert at the Congress Theater in Chicago, IL. At 54 years of age, Idol is arguably in the best shape of his career. Not an ounce of fat can be found on his chiselled, sweat-soaked body. Alongside his partner in crime, guitarist Steve Stevens, drummer Brian Tichy (Pride & Glory, Gilby Clarke) keyboardist Derek Sherinian (Alice Cooper, Dream Theater) and bassist Stephen McGrath, Idol truly is one of a kind. He introduces `Rebel Yell' as "The New American National Anthem." Despite the fact that `Dancing With Myself' and `Flesh For Fantasy' are `80s staples, Idol has his band jam on them in a free-flow format that makes them seem fresh as the morning dew. Two brand new, previously unreleased songs are performed as well: the sexually charged `Touch My Love' and a more remorseful number `Cry'. It's a pity that only a pair of songs from 2005's Devil's Playground are aired live, as that was a barnstormer of an album. But we're treated to renditions of Generation X classics `Ready Steady Go' and `Kiss Me Deadly' - all you can ask for is more, which isn't unreasonable actually. There's no backstage, pre/post show footage, interviews or bonus material. But in this case it's quality over quantity and the focus is solely on the top-notch live performance.

At His age, Idol blows away young rock bands and its not even close..WOW great show.. Idol's band is awesome...Top notch performers all around...Sadly though only half of the setlist was included in the setlist, the show was actually 2 1/2 hours long not measly 75 minutes...I wanted to see more and more..Great live concert well worth the price...
