Reviewed by: Keith Muzikman Hannleck, April 2003 This DVD is representative of classic rock and progressive rock bands that have made their mark and continue to entertain audiences worldwide. All 13 tracks will rock you with an outstanding audio and visual experience. Most notably Ronnie Montrose plays “Night Of The Guitars,” which is also a DVD with the same title available through Classic Rock Productions, and Wishbone Ash performs “The King Will Come” and “Blowin’ Free.” In addition, one of my favorite bands Mostly Autumn, covers two of their great songs, “The Spirit Of Autumn Past” and “Never The Rainbow.” Ian Gillan and his band are mightily impressive as well on “Demon’s Eye” and a surprisingly good cover of “Smoke On The Water.” Moreover, the one song that really blew me away was Hawkwind pumping out “Night Of The Hawks.” Wow! What a smokin’ number that is. Their multi-layered guitar attack is awesome. The DVD closes out with one of the labels’ featured artists, the legendary Uriah Heep in an excerpt from their Acoustically Driven set, “The Wizard/Paradise/Circle Of Hands Medley.” If you were in search of variety and highlights from concert footage of some of your favorite rock and prog bands, this DVD will be your ticket to the show.
