Every night since these discs arrived in the mail, I can't stop replaying this show. Not only the music, but also the message and sincerity of these gentlemen as "indelled" upon and within this DVD, seriously moves me. I wonder if there has ever been a live recording more meaningful, or quite as well-tuned than this? In "Miracles" I saw many years of a life "marrowed" into a single song -- a core performance. Russell Hitchcock, with abandon, empties his heart and visage into what might be the most gorgeous lyric and blend of melody & harmony ever yielded: and this written decidedly for Russell. Yet, somehow, these guys vicariously express what's ever been inside of me, that may too be heard as a pouring out of the heart of the pining that ages between adom and the Self Existing Power(s).

I like the newer band members, and miss those previous--especially Frank Esler-Smith; his style & orchestral way. We do miss the duelling electric guitars too...and the "organic-ness" which emanates from an acoustic, well-tempered, grand piano. [Perhaps you'd also wish to be aware that though the DVD hands over a dynamite presentation, the CD master was over compressed. ]

If you can only afford to buy one Live CD/DVD Wait for the offical "It was 30 Years ago" from Air Supply which is due to be released in July... However if you are like me.... I can't wait and picked up this one and then I will pick up the official one.... This cd/dvd is not mastered or mixed or whatever the correct terms are, very well, in alot of the dvd, the voice/instrument tracks don't line up with the video tracks, so when you watch them sing, thier lips don't match up with the words... and you can notice it in spots where the instuments don't quite line up either. Who ever worked on this the voices sometimes overshadow the instruments and vise versa, and in spots you can hear something almost like they sliced out bits and pieces on just the cd portion, yet on the dvd it isn't the same...

Over all I do like the music just not found of the mixing. I just don't think who ever did this did not capture the true sounds of the concert... and when the official release of the true Air Supply Version comes out the quality will be there!

If you can afford to buy both, I would! Like most AIRHEADS!! "Chances" are we "Never Get Enough" of Air Supply!

...and it sure sounds like it! I just got done viewing this concert and was not dissapointed but felt the show was a little lacking. I am glad Graham introduced the electric guitar back into the show, but I wish he would have at least one more guitarist. I think Graham sounded great but Russell struggled a bit. Keeping in mind the boys are aging, I feel it is time to remove some of the songs from the show, ie; Making Love Out Of Nothing At All...Russell is just not able to perform this one any more. I would have liked to seen a few of the newer Air Supply tunes rather than all the hits...the newer music is more catered to Russell's voice now. All in all not a bad show, I loved the segway between Shadow Of The Sun and Sweet Dreams. If I may recommend anything to you other than this album I recommend Graham's life long project "The Heart Of The Rose" an outstanding rock opera about the real Robin Hood. This project was a triumph for Graham. It is available on Air Supply's official website.

I talked to Graham in Tunica Mississippi and he said that the "Spaceman" cover is a great collectors item, which is why I was glad I got him to sign it. Believe it or not, Russell's voice has gotten very close to what it used to be, very close. A fellow Airhead who knows them better than I do said that he had a throat problem about 98 or 99, hince the low voice on "Your's Truly" but I've seen them in concert 3 times and know Russell and Graham and the band, and believe the low strained voice on here is just the poor sound. You gotta remember live albums pick up every little thing that in concert you'd never hear. Sure "Making Love (out of nothing at all)" sounded a little rough, but live he sounds perfect. He's in his 50's so sure it aint exactly like the album, but it's extremely close. If you really wanna hear them live, look at their tour information on Airsupplynowandforever.com and try to see them when they come near you. When they do "Even the Nights are Better" it's identical to the cd. Their show has gotten alot better since that tour too. They still sound like they're in their 20's when you REALLY see them live. You gotta remember that live cd's, for lack of a better word, over exaggurate the slightest imperfection. Russell can still hit those notes.

¡Excellent 100% recommended! (transacion rapida a traves de Amazon, calidad del producto y servicio en todo momento. Entrega en pocos dias)

Thank you

This is a very strange release. In short, Russell doesn' sound at all like Russell -- his voice is far too deep and strained. I just saw then in person in Vegas and this sounds nothing like that. (...)
