Hi Joe,
Just bought your new DVD live in Paris. After reading your comments about your European tour and the recording of this new and exciting live performance from Paris in the last April 2010 edition of Guitar World magazine, I could'nt resist buying this new DVD. I've got almost all the live performances you brought on the market and I knew I was getting in something fresh and up to your expectations since you mentionned in the magazine and I quote : "You know, we did'nt go out and film 20 shows and edit them together and pick the best takes of each song. It was one night-boom! I was telling myself backstage, Joe you'd better be good tonight' cause the cameras are rolling. And the great thingis, luck was on my side that night. Once in a while on every tour you get those golden moments when it just seems that everything is right: your amp feedback is perfect, your performance of a particular song is the best it's ever been, the band rocks harder then ever...That night in Paris was one of those nights." And when you talked about that visually speaking Gunther Kutsch pulled it off, I said WOW! this must be a hell of show. You are right, the performance is just out of this world. The sound, the whole energy of the band and the genius of your song writing are captured for ever. Joe you are a wonderful soul and your music is the most precious creation. You master your Art. The only thing that bothers me most of this DVD is that the first time I viewed and listened to it, after one song and a half I could'nt stand the video effects prowess. I want to see you and your band like I'm sitting front row. Seeing your face moving on each glimpse of emotions and especially since this night was a golden moment like you said, it's really not my cup of tea. The editing is like a clip on Mtv and the video effects are just to much. Not that is a bad production, in fact the video effects and all the editing are a masterpiece but I thought it's unsuited for your performance and it makes the DVD a real pain in the eyes to look at while listening to the greatest instrumental rock of this 21st century. It's my opinion. Keep on the great work. André.
