A Rare Treat......and a Few Flaws
The other reviews are dead-on in their comments on the relative merits of Beck vs. Page abilities; and its pretty obvious that it was a strain to their egos to get them both on the same stage. Jeff Beck and Steve Winwood DVDs are hard to find, so if you're fan of either (even for the few songs) it's worth the price. Eric Clapton gives a great performance but the sound mix leaves you straining to catch his guitar above the other instruments. Another annoyance was the "third drummer" who mugged shamelessly and whaled on every piece of percussion - tambourine, cow bell, gong, drum rim shots, etc. - Eric, Charlie Watts and Kenney Jones can all be seen rolling their eyes at this over-the-top performance.

POOR QUALITY VIDEO
The audio is very good but, the quality of the video was terrible. Not worth the $$$ I paid.

I appreciate this tribute to Ronnie Lane & MS victims
My fellow reviewer above described this thing absolutely perfectly. But as an MS victim myself, I DO so appreciate Slowhand, Page, Beck, et al, playing a tribute to ex-Face, Ronnie Lane (who died of MS some years later.) Unfortunately, I do have to force myself to try to do the impossible and just tune out Ray Cooper making a transcontental fool of himself, WAY "over the top" on percussion; however, as a long time Rolling Stones fanatic, I just smile WIDELY, seeing/hearing Bill Wyman and Charlie Watts as part of the rhythm section here. I would say that THEIR presence alone justifies the price of this, but the fact that this concert was done for a MS sufferer and, really, to bring the public attention to/about MS, makes this DVD almost...sublime. And now that I actually own the DVD and can view it at my leisure, I, even more, have to say: Thank you guys, and may God Bless ALL of you! RIP, Ronnie. Doggone shame that Avonex wasn't available back then.
