"This really isn't all that bad. Yes, the sound isn't all that great. If you have 5.1 surround or better, this won't do much for you. As for the show, it's a great performance from the band recorded at the Vermont Reggae Festival. Having been to this festival a bunch of times, I can tell you it's always a good time. Winston and the band seem to be having quite a good time on stage, and it's well shot. Great setlist with classics like "Columbus", "Marcus Garvey" "Days of Slavery" and more. I picked it up for 8 dollars and it was money well spent. Yes, the sound is below par, but the footage and the show are not. Worth getting. Unlike the "Back to My Roots" DVD, you get the full concert here. For years now, Burning Spear has been releasing CD's and DVD's on his own, away from major labels. If the sound was mixed in 5.1, this would be 4 stars for sure."

"Compre este DVD porque Burning Spear es un gigante del reggae. Al ver las especificaciones decia que el audio no era el mejor y que habia sido filmado en un festival. Revise lo que decian otros compradores y tienen razon: Las canciones son buenas, puedes emocionarte, pero la calidad del video y el audio no es buena. Ademas de eso, la ocasion, el concierto, es mas parecido a una feria o algo, mucha gente que no tiene ni idea de que hace la banda alli. El estrado es pequeño, en fin, comprenlo si es que son capaces de obviar un sonido mediocre. La calidad de Burning Spear, su dominio del publico y demas cualidades que lo han convertido en un clasico no se reflejan en este DVD. Una pena."
