I have a lot to say about the Live In Paris DVD. Most of it good.
The music was awesome as always and the audience was more into than the previous DVDs. It made Crowd Chant really awesome. Most of the effects were pretty good and some not so good. The changing colors quickly made kind of dizzy and it looked like a box of crayons melting. If they sticked to one during the song or changed back and forth with regular color that would have been good. I didn't like the kaleidoscope effects at all. Or the flashing skulls on Satch Boogie. But on Ghosts, the pictures of Joe playing the guitar was pretty cool. On Super Colossal, it was cool that they showed flashbacks of the original music video. On Out Of The Sunrise, I really liked the sunset clips slightly overlapping with Joe playing. Time Machine was absolutely magical. I loved it. I have never heard a live version of Time Machine and with the waterfall, storm cloud, and droplet effects, it was an epic performance. I loved Always with Me, Always with You, but I didn't like the effects because it looked like Tokyo at night. Cryin' was another beautiful performance. And Summer Song was the only song that went well with the changing colors because it has such a high energy factor. Overall I loved this performance.
Thank You Joe, Stu, Galen, and Jeff.

Always good to read more impressions. I think for me if they DVD doesn't jive with my brain or eyes, I will just listen to it with the tv off like Michelle was doing earlier. Running it through a surround system will be awesome! I will do the same running my headphones through the Dolby Headphone. I am definitely excited to watch it. Saturday morning at 6 am I will be right in front of the TV ready to roll!!

smokintonye I'm no JSX owner or expert but it sounds like your footswitch has a crack in the cable, or a bad soldering connection in the footpedal or plug.

do unto others as theyll do unto you...
what goes around comes around....
some can dish it out but they sure cant take it.....
lmao..those are my quotes of the day..lol..woohoo
i like fx in videos..i cant understand the deal about it...maybe its a getting old thing, who knows....but i love the effort that was made to make this dvd stand out from the rest...if you want to just see joe play, youhave to buy a ticket to the show...but videos and dvd are being made to give you more that just a proffesionally made youtube video....MTV ruined the idea of music video...yeah the same one they created...its now up to creative producers to enhance the plain video with a little personality and creativity...thats what moves us forward..blah blah blah

Michelle: Yep, I'll have three copies on my shelf as soon as the two I pre-ordered get here. Guess I went a little overboard. I was also under the impression that it was going to be a straightforward live concert, but I guess I missed something!
bluebuffalo: I see where you're coming from on the DVD, but no matter how hard I try, I just can't see a purpose to anything that was added to the original film. To me, Joe's performance alone has all the energy and emotion that a film could possibly need. That's why I look so forward to release date... to sit in front of my TV and watch Joe tear it up through 22 songs, to see and feel the energy and emotion from his performance. Anything added to that IMO distracts me from taking away from the film what I thought it was intended for.
Seriously, cutting away to the music video during a song?? I was excited to watch 'Cryin'' but couldn't see through all the spinning gears and what not. And there were spots I noticed Joe was magically playing with a different guitar for a few seconds and then back to another.. I'm sure that was intended, but c'mon...
Maybe I just get too deep into a live DVD; but I think if you wanna fool around with lights and colors, you should make an actual music video for that song and express that kind of emotion there, not over top of a live performance that people want to SEE. I realize that every other DVD Joe has released is in the traditional live concert format, and I could just watch one of those, but it was THIS concert that I was looking so forward to seeing in the same format. Seeing Joe play Time Machine, Cryin', and all the PSATMOR tracks which absolutely ROCK!!
I wonder about that bit Joe mentioned about the Director paying to use this once, and then he can do whatever he wants with the material. Any chance there will be a limited edition 'normal' release or should I just piss in the other hand and see which one fills up first?
I'll say it again, though; I'm glad the audio turned out so damn well. Might need a set of hearing aids by the time this one comes off constant rotation!!
