"I actually ordered this DVD from the Japanese Amazon and the price was in yen. Knowing I had to have it,I just ordered it. It was definately worth it. It starts off with the actual production video of "Individually Twisted." You know this video never saw the light of day on MTV. The rest is a live concert filmed in Seoul,Korea interspersed with commentary from Paul climbing up a mountain.Half way up the cliff the picture changes due to "we parted company with our old camera". Paul's band on this tour of "Flying Dog" includes two additional guitar players along with himself,bassist,and none other than Jeff Martin(Racer X vocalist)on drums. The musicianship is nothing but superb and amazing. Seeing the songs rendered live is utterly astonishing.If you enjoy catchy,pop-metal music-this will not disappoint.Watching Paul & his uncle Jimi Kidd in Paul's Batgirl Studio recording "Ballad of the last Lions" is great. Paul & Jimi in one small room while Jeff Martin plays the drums in another is wild. They watch him on a small television.If you are a guitarist you will say "Now I've seen how he does it,but how can he do it. 11,000 notes indeed. And fast too!"
