The audio for this release is very clean. I have a feeling it was probably always intended for both a video and audio release, as it seems to be mixed very much like an album release (part of this could be due to the updated remastering, so I'll never really know). Whether due to good editing, both video and audio, or just a tightly scripted stage show, there is little pause throughout the entire show. No set or wardrobe changes, no noticable instrument changes or technical switches; even the encore is (probably artificially) truncated down to an appreciative cheering section and then jumps right back into the music.
I actually wish that I could think of something to complain about with this review, because I almost feel like it's not objective of me to do otherwise. But there really isn't anything to complain about. The band is tight, the songs are classic, the video and audio are clean... If I really had to pick something, it's that the DVD extras are nothing to get too excited about. There is a very brief album promo video, as well as a photo slideshow set to a short audio clip. The interviews are interesting, but not horribly engaging. In the end, it's just a great concert, and that's all you need to expect and/or worry about. This is classic enough stuff to last another quarter-century.

Any relation to Steve? I think we are from the same generation. Funny review.

You know, I actually still get that from time to time. I guess Steve is the only famous Perry (Luke doesn't count).

I must say that I am proud to know that I have passed my love for good music on to my brother David. I lived the fashion moments for ya....and there are some great pics of this in our family album. I parted with the clothes with ease, the music will be with me forever. Rock on Steve! :)
