Overall, the production of this DVD was very good considering it was taken from 1987 source material. Gil Moore did a commendable job remixing the audio for both DTS and Dolby Digital 5.1 surround. I started listening to this at a medium volume level and it tended to sound a little muddy at first, and I felt that Emmett's guitar was a little low in the mix, but when you crank things up a bit, it gets significantly better. The video was somewhat soft and grainy looking - what you would expect from a 1980's recording. The camera production captured the live concert experience well using many wide shots showing the entire stage show, but there were too many crowd shots, and the angle changes came fast and furious.

The bonus features included backstage footage from a Triumph concert at The Spectrum, in Philadelphia. The narrator they used, must have been some kind of joke, because he sounded like he was narrating a 1950's government documentary. Also included is the cheesy video for "Just One Night" and and a live performance of "When the Lights Go Down" from the band's appearance at the1983 US Festival.
