DVD Review: Whitesnake - Live In The Still Of The Night - Page 3

The technical aspects of this DVD were quite impressive. I purchased the Special Collector's Edition which also includes a CD containing ten songs from the show. The DVD contains a whopping four different audio tracks, Dolby Digital stereo and 5.1 surround, DTS 5.1 surround, and the newer 5.1 SRS Circle Surround technology. Each of the surround options sounded fairly similar, with the DTS track providing a little more bottom end oomph. The rear surround speakers were barely utilized, but did provide enough ambience to recreate the live concert environment well. I found that the vocals were mixed a little too loud, so I had to turn down my center channel a few db's to compensate. The video was shot in Hi-Def using a small army of cameras, and the incredibly bright and colorful light show was captured wonderfully. A 14-minute documentary and a picture slide show were the only extras included.

This was one of the rare concert DVDs that I could not turn off until it was done. Typically, I will watch about half of a show and then finish it off the next day, but this one had me playing air-guitar through all 16 songs without a break. Whitesnake fans rejoice, and run, don't walk, to pick this one up!
