This is a model DVD release for a rock band. The concert footage itself is very good, the extras are excellent, and there's a lot of care and attention paid to every last detail of the packaging. Everything you loved, or hated, or loved to hate about the band is preserved in exceptional detail. It's almost like being there.

Performing with the London Metropolitan Orchestra, in Morocco, Wales, and London in 1994, No Quarter: Unledded documents the much-heralded reunion of Jimmy Page and Robert Plant.

This video companion to the Canadian singer-songwriter's triumphant live album confirms in sight what that recording advanced in sound--Sarah McLachlan and her fine, flexible stage band have evolved into a superb live performing unit, breathing added fire and nuance into McLachlan songs that were already stunning in their original studio versions.
