- UB 40 Live in Holland

Wonderful music, muscianship, and stage personna. The editing is atrocious and jumps throughout the entire show from musician to musician. Rarely is any musician shown for more than 2 seconds and the editing is typical of the MTV herky-jerky, ADD/ADHD-type editing so prevalent in video music today. It was impossible to enjoy the play of any musician in this terrific band. Compare this type of editing with, say, the 1991 Paul Simon "Concert in Central Park" where the viewer/listener can savor the world-class musicianship of this crack band with reasonably sustained individual shots of the players. The Holland technicians seem obsessed with their technical prowess, acutely jumpy editing, and the DVD viewer's enjoyment of the musicians is left wanting. I plan to return the DVD when my splitting headache subsides. I anticipated something more like the "UB 40 Live in Moscow" work. Why isn't this available on DVD?

- Poor photography

This otherwise good show by good musicians is spoilt by bad photography jumping around more than the band do and making it irritating to watch. You don't see anyone only catch glimpses of people or scenes for a second or less.

- Declare Tracks

If the Tracks are not declared, how does one decide to buy the DVD. Can you not ensure that all DVDs that are on sales have the Tracks declared so that it would be easier to decide a purchase, rather than try one's luck ?

- Great Concert Video

One of the best concert videos I've seen. I love the music, the song selections, the lighting - it's all fantastic.
