Appearance
took me back
Oh, did Tommy make me feel young again! So good! Sorry Amazon, you were out of stock, so I ordered from TJ's website - $20 and includes the concert on cd!!!
I don't get it ? But you shouldn't get this either
The DVD itself is great. Good video, great sound and a real sense that these guys are playing classic 60's rock with a modern touch. I loved it. BUTTTTTT $79 for a used one and $130 for new ? As Mr. McEnroe would say, you cannot be serious. Check out the TJ website for this same item. I won't disclose the price but let's just say, you'll be pleasantly surprised unless, of course, you already bought one of these. Then, I'll be happy to sell you a six-pack of beer to cry in......for $48. Hah, get it ?
Not lip-syched? Then explain this....
First the good: great sound, great selection of songs. Good picture, although the brick wall of the Bitter End takes away from the visual appreciation of the band.Now the bad: check out the song "Mirage", Tommy's voice continues holding the note even when he is away from the mic, and I mean a long time. This pops up a number of places in the song which means that maybe the concert wasn't lip-synched, but in the final edit overdubs where probably made. This is especially apparent with the annoying crowd noises of people cheering throughout the DVD yet there are no corresponding visual images (the same problem as with the Spirit live DVD, although not as bad here).I rented this and plan to buy it, despite the sloppy and numerous overdubs. It's an exciting show and very well-played, well, maybe too well, but that's a quibble only costing one star. Enjoy.
Legends Trilogy
The previous reviewer has this box set mixed up with another book. This box set contains 3 Dragonlance books from the legends Trilogy, which takes place after the Dragonlance Chronicles. Its the second trilogy in the Dragonlance series of books. It contains the books: Time of the Twins, War of the Twins, and Test of the Twins. These were excellent books but i recommend you read the Dragonlance Chronicles before you read these as they will give you a better understanding of the characters.
The best trilogy in fantasy-won't disappoint.
If the prologue won't hook you in, I don't know what will. (You SHOULD read the "Chronicles" trilogy first to know what's going on.) The best fantasy trilogy with memorable characters who you will come to know well. In all our imaginations, however, Raistlin is a character to be loved, hated, and/or both. In my mind, "Raist" will always be the "master of past and present."After "Legends," Weis/Hickman continue the story, and so should you if you love "Legends." If you REALLY enjoyed the trilogy box set, the "Annotated Legends" is a must-buy as well.
Simply Brilliant
I am a 14 year old student. This Dragonlace series is probably my favorite of all other ones I have read. The characters are well developed. I have heard some people say they think Dragonlance characters are rather flat but i disagree. Raistlin is the best character. I feel he is a trajic character as he meets an ill-fated end and endures much suffering. I hesitate to call him a villian but he is definantly not the protagonost. The plot is all three books is very interesting and I do not believe it had any boring parts at all. I liked how they threw in the whole time traveling to the future thing with Tas and Caramon. So in conclusion, this book is great. If you like Fantasy or are simply looking for a good book to read, buy it. You will not regret it.
