The music selection features five songs, including notable tracks like "Watcher of the Skies" and "Supper's Ready," offering a good variety for fans. However, the video quality suffers due to damage, resulting in cuts that disrupt the flow of some performances, particularly "Firth of Fifth." Despite these issues, the sound quality remains decent, making it a worthwhile experience for enthusiasts.
“There are 5 songs here.”
“It's a good variety of music if you like that sort of thing.”
“Watcher of the skies, dancing with the moonlit knight, I know what I like, the musical box, supper's ready; the picture quality is good for the most part.”
“Unfortunately, these videos were damaged at several points and have had to be cut slightly, meaning that at several points during each song it jumps.”
“Two of these videos have been horribly cut, though, 'Firth of Fifth' (a real shame because it ruins the song and it's the only performance featured on the DVD) and 'Supper's Ready'. The sound quality during this section is good, and the picture quality is okay.”
“There are only 5 songs here.”
