I have just taken delivery of this album/DVD today.
Could not wait to view the Reading footage as I had waited forever and a day to see it after hearing how legendary a performance this was. I was so excited it was almost like hearing them again for the first few times like when I saw them on the Tube and Top Of The Pops TV shows in England back in the day. I absoloutely loved it. You could tell that the band really put their all into this performance, they absoloutely slayed the crowd and it was fantastic to see the footage of Dee actually asking the audience out backstage for all the non believers. The track listing is great and shows you just how good UTB was as a debut album bar the production. Talking of production considering when this was filmed the remastering on the sound and picture quality is excellent. Hats off to those responsible.
On a seperate note I watched this DVD with my two year old daughter "Zoe" and it was truly a moment to savour as I sang all the words back to her and got her to punch the air and say "I like it" several times during It's only Rock'N'Roll. I almost had a tear in my eye as I told her all the bands names and for some reason she genuinely refered to Dee Snider as "Jesus"!!? She loved it and kept repeating the words "This is your favourite band Daddy isn't it? You can't buy moments like that!!
She even recognised the TS logo when I logged onto the slamboard. What a proud moment.
Long Live Rock 'N' Roll.

Location: UK | The only question I have is this:
Since "I'll Never Grow up Now" is missing as a bonus track, are we going to get a remaster of the 1985 re-release of the album at some point?
Love the Reading concert. The bonus interviews on the disc were a welcome surprise.
Can't wait for the next DVD release in a few months.
Anybody wanna buy my Ruff Cuts 12" before its value drops? ;-)
(Only joking. I'll never part with that) |

| What can I say - brilliant ..... this is just for the cd - haven't had chance to look at dvd yet.
MY vinyl copies of Ruff Cuts and the Secret Records of UTB - are very much used and abused.
So great to have cd copies of them.
I remember listening to Tommy Vance's The Friday Rock Show (RIP TV) when they broadcast bits of this set - and I was in HM/TS heaven.
Great mastering by the lads. |

I don't have this release yet, Paul, but as for the above sentiment, agreed. I can get my two year old to throw up her fist and say "Rock" during the I Wanna Rock refrain. And while I can prompt her by asking "Are you gonna take it?" every now and again, just of her own will, she'll break into the chorus of We're Not Gonna Take It. Priceless.
Best,

| For those in NYC, J&R has copies. I got mine yesterday and my order with Amazon is being shipped.
I watched the DVD last night and listened to the CD this morning at work. AMAZING DVD, Excellent. You finally get to see how good this band was/is on a DVD. Nothing is like a live TS show. These guys were out of control, a truly amazing show. This is the type of show i remember from the club days, this is the type of show that made this band a household name.
The interviews are great, now i know how to increase milk and egg production from cows and chickens. I learned what Mark's base does to horses 
Great stories from all the guys, you see how much they wanted this first record to be made and what a journey it was to get it done. You learn what happen at the festival what the objects that landed on stage were and where they landed, some very funny items.
The re-master of the CD is wonderful, the songs sound great.
Everyone involved should be proud of this work effort the CD, DVD and interviews. It really proofs what a class act this band really is. Thank you for putting this together for all of us. I'm looking forward to the other CD/DVD's |
