I love Nuclear Assault, and wanted to get this DVD for a long time, but it was only available in Region 1 NTSC (FOR AMERICAN AND CANADIAN DVD PLAYERS ONLY) but now it has been released on PAL region 2 I finally got it.
What can I tell you? Nuclear Assault are a great band who released some great music. However, they are a cult band, with little money to throw around and without major label backing. Their reunion live and studio albums met with mixed reviews and little success.
This DVD is one of the cheapest DVDs on the market, The main feature is shot in digital, badly edited , with a really muddy sound. On the plus side the performance is cool and the track listing is good. Bad visuals and audio detract however, and goofball John Connelly won't stop talking about a white Nissan; the small crowd aren't very enthusiastic either.
The bonus features aren't great either, poor home video style hand held camera footage from in the studio (Not the high budget studio footage you'd see on any other band's DVD) Slide shows of photos that are really badly edited; some very cool but poor quality live bootleg footage from the 80's (When the band had a bigger and more interested audience)
The most expensive thing on this DVD is the music video for `Price of Freedom,' which is the only thing here that was shot on film.
Overall, this is still a must for any serious Nuclear Assault fan; but you should know just how cheap it is before you buy it.
