6. Profession Of Violence

The band was accompanied by a string quartet during the studio performance and they sounded amazing. Additional bonus features included a Making of the Studio Songs feature, Rockboat and USA 2004 tour documentaries, and lengthy interviews with all of the band members, making this second DVD worthy of its own release.

The overall production quality of this DVD does not disappoint. Dolby Digital 5.1 surround and 2.0 audio options are provided for both the live and studio sets. The surround mix was excellent, with perfect instrument separation and clarity. The guitar mix sounded especially powerful, which always earns bonus points with me. The widescreen picture looks superb, and the camera work placed you right into the midst of the audience.

This DVD proves that UFO are sounding better than ever, and has certainly rekindled my interest in the band. Vinnie Moore has the formidable task of filling Michael Schenker's shoes, but he does so remarkably. Since the release of this DVD, Jason Bonham has left to join Foreigner, only to be replaced by original UFO drummer Andy Parker. All they need now is Schenker. Nah.
