"Juke Box Hero" was preceded by a cool Middle Eastern sounding percussion jam which led right into the famous opening synthesizer riff, and was later infused by a short "Whole Lotta Love" jam. This was easily the most powerful performance of the night for me.

After briefly leaving the stage for a few minutes the band had to hurry back for their encore performance of "Hot Blooded", which capped off an incredible one hour set. They really need to put out another video of one of their headlining club gigs, featuring a nice two-hour long set, while this great lineup is still going strong.

My only complaint with the production of this DVD is with the audio mixes. Although DTS 5.1 surround, Dolby Digital 5.1 surround, and Dolby Digital stereo tracks are all provided, they each suffer from the same problem; thin sounding mix, with the guitars (of all things) much too low in the mix.

Essentially, the vocals and the drums were mixed very loud, the keyboards were okay, but the guitars and bass were seriously neglected. Many of you may not find this as problematic as I did, but being the guitar freak that I am, these things stand out like a sore thumb.

The picture actually looked very good, considering that it was shot outside in the bright sunlight. Although the camera work was a little herky-jerky at times, it really captured the experience of being in the front row at the show. What more could you ask for? Special features consisted of interviews with Mick Jones, Kelly Hansen, and Jason Bonham, as well as a short fan feature called Foreigner TV.

Alive & Rockin' does what a good concert DVD should do. Before seeing this video I couldn't have cared less that Foreigner were playing my town. Now, I am actively seeking them out.
