The band commentary makes this a must have for any 80s music collector. Also the two new songs are among the best that they have done!

Glass Tiger is the best group of the 80's and finally back...they still rock, i think if it's possible they sound even better than they did before...can't wait to see if something new will come soon

This DVD has all videos I saw years ago of Glass Tiger, it's good to remember those years of good music.

You have the option with this video to get band commentary as you watch the videos. Oh my gosh, I highly recommend you turn it on and listen to them talk about all that was going on at the time. Listening to some of the things they talk about makes me laugh so hard I had tears rolling at times. They talk about all sorts of crazy stuff from making fun of each others bad hair and clothing, the cheesy stuff they were made to do in early videos, to explaining where parts of the videos were shot and how they were shot. They are really hilarious! They all missed their second calling to be comedians!

You have four of the five original members giving the commentary all in the same room together, Al Connelly, Alan Frew, Wayne Parker, and Sam Reid. You also get a few tidbits and hints as to Michael Hanson's build up to his departure (he is with them through video 10 then quits the group, very sad).

A tip for your viewing of this DVD, you can select play all then choose to have commentary on or off. OR You can select by individual track (or video) listing. A lot of people have said they had problems getting the bonus material to play. I only got it to work one way...My tip for you is, go under individual track selection. Across the top it asks if you want commentary on or off, make your selection then take notice here, if you follow across where the commentary selection is, you will see on some videos they have bonus material available to the right, most is just one thing but few have two choices, click on the 1 or 2 option and it will play. You can then watch all the bonus material from this screen. Not all videos have the bonus feature options. The bonus featurettes are really great. TONS of behind the scenes footage on location shooting their videos, some live footage from a European festival, but all of it is great.

Must have for the GT fan. These guys are still great all these years later! They crafted some truly timeless songs together. The remaining 4 are still together and do selective shows from time to time. Check them out at [..]

I'm as old as GT's career and I've been listening to them since I was born (and that's no lie).
I had the DVD on hold for me for three months before they stopped pushing the release date back and finally sent it. While first I expected more to it, I did fall in love with it.
The videos are fairly exceptional for the time (remember, this was the 80's) and the commentary is halarious at times. The bonus footage is often very funny and worth seeing.
I had no idea these guys were so outgoing, but they're actually really fun to watch, over and over and over.

With the exception of the drummer, Michael Hanson, you'll get a charge out of Sam (the keyboardist who's always smiling), Al (the guitarist who is quieter but still likes to laugh), Alan (the incredibly energetic frontman), and Wayne (the goof of the group).

Some of the videos are nothing special (according to Alan, "what were we thinking, what was anybody thinking?!" and "we would NEVER do this today"), while others are very memorable and unique such as "I Will Be There" filmed on Table Top Mountain, "Thin Red Line" involving Kilts, and "Animal Heart" where the lust of the song seems to be responded through Alan's explicit expressions. I'll bet no one will even understand what the video is implying so I'll come out an say it: the girl is the tiger, Alan is the eagle. How many of you figured that out?

I really hope these guys can keep recording because they're one of few groups that didn't part ways on bad terms and are still in to it for the music.

Way to go guys!

The new DVD No Turning Back includes all the big hits with the original videos from the 80's as well as two new videos for the new singles. Most videos can be watched with band commentary on if you choose and it's hillarious!!!!
Brougth back alot of good memories and made fans out of my kids.
If you want a great Music DVD to bring back your favorite times this is the one.
