Brazilian release of the classic concert of the Burn era Deep Purple at the 1974 Cal Jam. Pro shot film unavailable officially on DVD. Brazilian Menu put easy to operate. Region 0 - NTSC
An awesome pro-shot from Brazil MTV. An A rated DVD that showcases how good Dickinson and Smith are back together again. Region 0
Bruce's solo career before coming back to Maiden really took off with the blazing sets of albums Accident Of Birth and Chemical Wedding. Here we can view this powerful band is full concert action in an audience shot show from Greece, which I have rated as a B-. I feel this is better than the Maiden comeback!
Firebird's first headline show in Belfast was thankfully captured on video in this superb A rated audience show. This show has the mini-disc recorded audio dubbed over the visuals to heighten the quality of the recording. The audio is also available separately. Region 0 - PAL
My first ever personally recorded DVD - filmed and created by myself, I am amazed at the quality of this show and rate it as an audience A recording. Firebird yet again put on a great set of roaring retro style rock! Region 0 - PAL
Firebird return to Belfast in 2005 with a slightly altered lineup that brings back their original drummer Ludwig Witt (Spiritual Beggars) and perform a short but powerful set that will hopefully show a few glimpses as to the new album may sound like. Region 0 - PAL
With Hot Wings about to be released, Firebird unleash themselves on a 4 date Irish tour. This is the Belfast show which features Bill Steer, Ludwig Witt and Harry Armstrong (End Of Level Boss/ex- Hangnail). This is a great audience show (filmed by myself, so I have to promote it!) and features a great set of new material and old classics. Only problem was that Katy Daly's was poorly lit, the the visuals are very dark in this DVD. Region 0 - PAL
Prior to recording their 5th album, Firebird return to Belfast to play in the Spring & Airbrake. The core of the band of Bill and Ludwig are complemented by Smok on bass and have immediately gelled into a powerful trio. New songs set to appear on the album feature in the set along with some old and new classics from all the albums and some great cover selections. Region 0 - PAL
Two superb Maiden concerts on one DVD. The first is the legendary 1982 Beast Over Hammersmith. Footage that Maiden wouldnt release due to technical problems but finally presented here on DVD in a B- rated quality. The following concert at Dortmund is an excellent A rated show. Both are pro-shot.
One of the best live albums of all time also has some great accompanying pro-shot footage. This is the Brazilian release of Iron Maiden's Live After Death, which is arguably them at their live peak. Brazilian menu but easy to operate. Region 0 - NTSC
Queen - Live At The Rainbow 1974
A superb audio and visual quality A+ rated DVD that shows the power of an early Queen performance. Taking in tracks from the first three albums this is the bridge between Queen still being heavy while branching out on more progressive themes. Region 0 - NTSC
The Kings and Queens of Boogie played to an empty Rosetta Bar in Belfast, but that did not stop them performing and rocking at their very best. First night of the 2004 European tour is captured by my friend and myself using a multi-camera angle view and sound is dubbed from a mini-disc recording in this superb A rated audience shot show. Region 0 - PAL
Rainbow - Live In Munchen, Germany 1977 (cover kindly donated by Jim Dimitratos - click the Rainbow DVD image for a link to Jim's trading site)
I have recently received this DVD update to the video version I had of this concert and it provides a superior sound although does have a slightly darker picture, but this was never a well-lit show anyway. This is Rainbow on the final stretch with Dio before Blackmore decided to go commercial and still shows the band as the powerful heavy rock outfit that released 3 of the best classic rock albums ever. An A rated show. Region 0 - NTSC
Another legendary concert live album with accompanying pro shot footage. This is Rush at their prog-rock height and finally presented on DVD with the release of this concert from a Brazilian production. Brazilian menu but easy to operate. Region 0 - NTSC
After a series of technological advanced album in the 1980's, Rush still showed that they could produce the goods and the sounds live on the 1988 Show Of Hands album and video. Now presented on this Brazilian DVD release. Brazilian menu but easy to operate. Region 0 - NTSC
A rare Pro Shot A rated show from the powerful Counterparts tour. As Rush progress into the latter stage of Phase Four, they showcase their strongest album in years with yet another superb live performance. Region 0 - NTSC
Trouble are the grooviest bunch of heavy hitters outside of Sabbath, and alongside Cathedral have carried the torch for chuggy riffing over a series of classic albums. Here we can view an excellent A- audience shot show from the amazing Manic Frustration tour. Region 0 - NTSC
Before the explosion that was the 1987 album, Whitesnake were huge everywhere else outside of the USA. This features the backbone of the 1987 writing team and is the only tour that John Sykes got to shine with the Snake. An A rated pro shot performance from the 1985 Rock In Rio concert. Region 0 - NTSC
Neil Young - do I need to say more! This time our hero is in full grunge mood on his Year Of The Horse tour from 1996. A concert and documentary that has now received a Brazilian release. Brazilian menu but easy to operate. Region 0 - NTSC
