The review

A new DVD-R from Japan, housed in a single cd slim case offering some songs from San Diego 79 New Barbarians show; the source is pro shot footage in color with mono soundboard audio. The first song "Breath On Me" displays a very angry Ron Wood yelling at a member of the audience that keeps flashing at him, even threatening him physically with his guitar between solos! Unfortunately quality is not that great due to the film high generation, the master probably coming from a VHS tape with time strip at the bottom of the screen; whenthe video gets slightly better ("Love In Vain") then it's the audio getting saturated, what a pity! The audio gets better from "Seven Days" on while the video part is still blurred as hell. Unfortunately a product to avoid.
