Post Description
This performance is excellent. Dio's band is great, especially his guitar player. The audio quality is as good as any DVD I've heard. Possibly better. Powerful and clear, like sitting at the sound board. A pure joy to hear!
HOWEVER, as other reviewers have mentioned, the video quality is really poor by DVD standards. Some say it looks like a VHS tape. Here's what I think is going on:
I have no reason to doubt the raw footage looks just fine. (No professional video camera produces such grainy images.) I think the guys that edited and mastered it got a little too "clever" with the digital tools available to them. What everyone's seeing in the picture looks to me like artificial "noise" intentionally introduced into the picture (like we can do with image files in PhotoShop), making everything have little gray dots dancing around in it. I have never seen a DVD picture like it.
Even worse is, for some bizzare reason, they have some sort of stop motion thing going on during the whole concert where the image changes only EVERY OTHER FRAME! (Use your player to step through frame-by-frame and you'll see what I mean.) On some of the footage, like the drum solo, it's even slowed down to every four frames! (The "Push" video included as an extra on the disk doesn't have this same problem.)
Fortunately, the sound and performance on this DVD are so great, I think most fans (like me) will overlook the poor picture quality.
