SMF 1st Class Posts: 27 | Absolutely LOVE the Northstage dvd. Its great, as a fan from the UK, to be transported back in time to finally SEE how things were. Yeah, back in the day, i'd traded the audios of Mad Hatters, Zaffeys, Hammerheads etc , but to actually SEE a show in amazing video quality is a revelation. Way beyond my expectations. Thank you so much for releasing this. Roll on the box set :-) | ||

Elite SMF Posts: 214 Location: Da Bronx | Came home from work and found the Amazon box sitting on my doorstep. Convenient for sure but I still miss Tower Records. One of my big regrets was not seeing the band in clubs, being something of a child bride in those days. Finally got to see the band at the Felt Forum at the Garden and don't remember much of that due to drugs. I am truly enjoying this now! Thank you so much for this DVD! Awesome. | ||

SMF 1st Class Posts: 13 | Jay Jay French - 2011-08-02 8:04 AM The problem was the the 'club daze" went on too long (for me it went from March 1973 to December 1982) and, while you all were having a great time every night, we were dealing with one label rejection after another and having to fire too many members for drug and alcohol abuse. There were many nights that were fun. After all, we learned how to BE a band playing clubs. It just seemed that we were trapped and were never getting out. Thanks for the comments Jay Jay. The nearest thing I can think of to relate to you guys back then is to be stuck at one position at a job for a long time, waiting and working your butt off for a promotion, and then after a long time of it not coming, you start to feel like it's not going to happen. I sometimes wonder if you guys would've got signed a couple of years earlier what differences the band's career what have had. Edited by Wildcard 2011-08-02 9:38 PM | ||

Nearly A Band Member Posts: 2072 | Another review of the UTB CD/DVD & the Double Live DVD http://washingtonexaminer.com/entertainment/music/2011/08/review-live-loud-3-rare-twisted-sister-shows Review: Live, loud - 3 rare Twisted Sister shows By: WAYNE PARRY | Associated Press | 08/08/11 3:23 PM . In this CD cover image released by Eagle Vision, a remastered version of Twisted Sister's first CD, "Under the Blade," is shown. Twisted Sister "Under The Blade (Remastered); "Double Live: North Stage '82 & New York Steel '01" (Eagle Vision) Few heavy metal bands have ever prowled the stage with the ferocity and intensity of Twisted Sister, the New York bar band that conquered the world in the 1980s. But that was after years and years of slogging away in tiny clubs and faraway venues. Those challenging shows, however, sharpened the band's edge, and showed them they could survive whatever fate — and fans — threw their way, sometimes literally. The remastered version of their first CD, "Under The Blade," includes a DVD of the band's performance at the 1982 Reading Festival in England, where the costumed glam rockers at first didn't exactly enthrall the crowd of bikers, leatherheads and assorted headbangers, who catapulted a veritable farmer's market of produce, beer cups and unmentionables at the band members as they performed. Yet Dee Snider, brandishing a real machine gun and firing it into the air, showed the crowd Twisted Sister was not intimidated, challenging anyone who was so inclined to meet him next to the stage after the show for a fight. That kind of American, in-you-face attitude slowly won over the crowd. And by the time the 40-minute set drew to a close with a surprise all-star jam of Motorhead's Lemmy, Fast Eddie Clarke and Pete Way, Twisted Sister had truly won over one of the toughest audiences it ever had to face. A far friendlier hometown crowd loses its mind for Twisted on the first half of a double DVD called "Double Live." The show at Long Island, N.Y.'s North Stage Theater shows Twisted just before they got on a plane to England to record their first album. It includes many chestnuts from the club days that have rarely, if ever, been performed since, including "Lady's Boy," Dee Snider's ode to a young man whose proficiency with the opposite sex far outstripped his age, their cover of The Shangri-Las hit "Leader Of The Pack," the anthemic "I'll Never Grow Up Now," and the even rarer "Rock 'N' Roll Saviours" to close the show. In 2001, having been apart for years, the band reunited at the request of heavy metal radio host Eddie Trunk for a benefit concert to raise money for the widows and children of New York City police and firefighters killed in the World Trade Center attacks. Named "New York Steel," it brought the band back together for a reunion that was envisioned to last about three years, but continues a decade later. This disc also includes some goodies for old-school fans, including probably their most underrated song ever, "Come Back," and the epic dual-guitar-jam "You Know I Cry."

Nearly A Band Member Posts: 2072 | I've watched the NY Steel and Northstage DVD a few times since the Tuesday release date and i have to say the shows are phenomenal.....These are amazing shows, the band looks and sounds great. Watching the Northstage show, reminds you how good Jay Jay, Eddie, Mark and AJ play, how good Dee is as a singer and showman. What a command the band had of the audience and how great this band really is. The NY Steel show brings back great memories of the friends and family I went to the show with that night. Just the thought of eating dinner before the show in Manhattan so close to the date of the attacks. What a great show it was, and i really appreciate it being released on DVD show i can share it with my kids who were just babies at the time. All the bands were great that night but TS was truly AMAZING. If you don't have this DVD go out and get it, BUY It. How about the Caldaron show and the two shows at the Palladium being released on DVD? | ||
