Dolby Digital 5.1 surround, and PCM stereo audio options were provided and they both sounded excellent. Instrument separation was superb, and the surround speakers were used perfectly to create an authentic live environment. The video quality was fairly average. Some of the longer shots were somewhat blurry, and the halo effect was present at times, but the picture was generally clear and the colors were vibrant. Surprisingly, it was only shot in full frame instead of widescreen. There were absolutely no special features included on the discs, but, hell, when I get over two and one-half hours of live concert, I ain't complaining.
Just when I was starting to grow a little tired of The Flower Kings, along comes this exceptional DVD to restore my faith in the band. On the strength on their apparently excellent new Paradox Hotel album, I have already placed my order, this performance shows why many consider The Flower Kings to be near the top of the current progressive rock hierarchy.
