 BUY THE VHS INSTEAD!!!! DEFECTIVE PRODUCT!!!!! | |
| I used to own this on VHS, and loved it. When I saw it was available on DVD I snagged it. The sound drops out two or three times, on several tracks, which is infuriating enough. But my copy goes back to the main menu after each song!!! There are also several little glitches in the video. I just got this today, and have only spent ten frustrating minutes with this disc. They were bad enough to prompt me to write this review. Now, the show itself is classic puppy, and the songs are great. Ogre's performance is just plain scary. This would be the perfect video to play at your next church function or children's birthday party. But just take into consideration. Nettwerk is ripping you off, and the band off with this inferior and quite defective disc. | |
 SHAME ON NETTWERK! | |
| I hesitated to purchase the original run of this DVD after reading complaints about the chapter issues and missing introduction. When the second edition came out I was impatient, jumped the gun, and bought it. While I'm extremely happy with the video, especially in comparison to the VHS version I suffered for so many years, the audio infuriates me. VOLUME DROP-OUTS!!! While I'm not as into SP as I was, say 15 years ago, this was supposed to be a very welcome addition to my permanent DVD collection, but, sadly, while I love having it, it's an imperfect presentation of a perfect (or nearly perfect) performance that will be sold, or given away, when a properly mastered version is released. My suggestion: buy it from eBay used to prevent Nettwerk from making another penny off of this mishandled / apparently unappreciated band. In a perfect world Nettwork would send all of us who purchased this a replacement copy if we sent in a proof of purchase tab, but they probably can't even address an envelope so... | |
| Catalog Title, Catalog Treatment | |
| This is a great title, but it's marred once again by "catalog title" treatment. You know the type: Mastering booth puts in an original tape master into the machine, goes to get some coffee, and returns when it's done. It's the same lackluster treatment that classic material gets all the time when someone doesn't see the value in what they're mastering outside of fleecing the faithful. Left channel dropouts, video errors... this title has 'em. Outside of some glaring issues, this title smokes and has never looked better. The video quality is great when it's not glitching. Buyer beware: this is a flawed title, but from the prior release it appears this is as good as it's going to get. |
