Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Just on a rating of the performance and musical content. Plenty of classic Skynyrd material covered. Nice extras offered on the disc. Definitly a 5 star performance. If you are a Skynyrd fan, buy this disc. If you are just a casual rock listener, perhaps just rent it a time or two.
Image: The lighting is inadequate, yes I know concerts are often dark. No excuse. There is no reason with todays quality of equimpment and editing technology that a video filmed in '97 should be this dark. Not all scenes are bad, actually most are decent. Some are great. Some are terrible.
Sound: When first booted up in my player, the disc defaulted to 2 channel PCM stereo as you would get from a standard CD. After 1/2 way through the first song, I switched to the DD 5.1 channel soundtrack. At first I cringed. I wanted to go back. The mix was heavily biased toward the rear channels. After a few minutes of compensating with the system balance on my processor I was able to attenuate the the surround speakers to keep them in place and boost the front mains & center channel, although I didnot boost the center as much as the mains. The LFE was left alone, it more than was adequate & I am not fond of excessive bass in my music anyway.
After adjustments, the disc provided a most enjoyable evening's entertainment. When you compare the sound quality offered by other DVD's such as "The Eagles - Hell Freezes Oover", its dissapointing when other sudio engineers cant seem to get it right. You should not have to tailor your HT calibration settings for each disc you play.
