Wow~!
This is one of the best live albums from my collection. I own both CD and VHS. This is the legendary live concert in Lenningard, Soviet Union in 1988. I believe he did close to 30 shows and all shows were sold-out!
I got to know Yngwie in 1990 from a friend of mine and I saw this live on a laser disc (yap, not a DVD). This was my first Yngwie encounter.
Sometimes I don't know what to say and that is exactly how I felt when I saw this live. Yngwie's guitar playing was just out-of-this-world! I couldn't believe a man could play like that. I had heard Yngwie's name here and there but I didn't know that he was a "Guitar God" until I saw his playing. Ever since this album, I became Yngwie's diehard fan until "War to End All Wars" album.
All songs are great and so is his showmanship in this performance. Though CD and DVD are overdubbed and edited in the studio but still this is a great album. Every song contains Yngwie's pride and bears the imprint of genius. You will be surprised to find out how all songs are quite different from its original studio versions.
Yngwie was at his best, this was his moment of life and this is Yngwie's best live album. I highly recommend this CD or DVD. You won't regret it. DVD contains more songs than CD.
