I bought the regular version of this CD just before I saw them play at the Orleans Arena in Las Vegas on Oct. 17, 2003! Played it damn near non-stop at work. I like every track on it, but I especially love 3 songs: "That's How I Like It", "Red, White and Blue", and "Hell or Heaven on Earth". I love this CD, and just bought the special edition. The videos on the DVD for "Red, White and Blue" and "Simple Man" are the same as the ones shown at the concert! I love it! The DVD "Simple Man" video is missing some scenes from the one shown at the concert, most noticable cutting the late Cassie Gaines' appearances, but well worth watching again and again! Well worth it!

I saw the band live in Milwaukee this month and Skynyrd blew the roof off the place. The venue was not too far from where I saw the original band with Ronnie in the 1970's so it was really special to me. During the show they played video of the old days (I cried). I received the special edition of Vicious Cycle for Christmas (with bonus DVD). I didn't have a DVD player yet so went out and bought one to specifically see this DVD. I was thrilled to see that alot of the footage shown at the concert was on this DVD. The songs are great - highly recommended for any Lynyrd Skynyrd fan.
