I got this DVD for xmas this year and all I can say at first screening is WOW.
I only saw Frank once back in the 70s, the night after he was on SNL, and the whole band came out as Coneheads.
Franks diverse 75 albums have something for everyone and for the most part, to be fully appreciated one needs to see a band performing all this intricate, layered music. All the musicians picked for this band went through a pretty tough assignment of learning 2 songs and in 2 days time, play the whole of their part with only drums as accompaniment.
Dweezil is one heck of a talented player who does not showboat one bit while he shreds his father's tunes without looking.
What you get are 2 very long DVDs with a ton of great music and showmanship, along with Steve Vai and Terry Bozzio.
Sound Quality is very good in both 5.1 and 2ch and the PQ is quite good for a DVD concert video.
Highly recommended if you want to hear some fresh takes of Frank's masterpieces.
