Live In The Still Of The Night is a DVD featuring a reinvigorated and reinvented Whitesnake, with David Coverdale on lead vocals. Tommy Aldrige, a former Whitesnake member, pounds the skins (and contributes a drum solo), while Reb Beach handles much of the rhythm guitar duties. Doug Aldrich shines in the lead guitar chair, providing fiery solo after fiery solo. Marco Mendozo handles bass chores, while Timothy Drury rounds out the band playing keyboards. All in all, an amazing concert experience made even better with Aldrich's six-string contributions.

Muddy Waters was the leading exponent of Chicago blues in the Fifties. With him, the blues came up from the Delta and went electric, and his guitar licks and repertoire have fueled innumerable blues bands. This live footage of Muddy Waters at the Chicago Blues Festival includes a guest appearance by Johnny Winter.

Jerry Jeff Walker live at 501. One night. One Man. One guitar. A lifetime of music with the One and Only. He's in great voice and it's just him and his guitar. Settle in with your favorite beverage, a good companion and enjoy this intimate concert.

Viewed today, Stevie Ray Vaughan's only two appearances on "Austin City Limits" (bookending, as they do, his recording career with Double Trouble) offer a study in contrasts and chronicle the evolution of a brief but amazing musical saga. As has repeatedly been cited by innumerable musicians who "knew him when," he could always play. That was a given. But the guitarslinger who took the release of his debut album, Texas Flood, and the Stevie Ray who returned in 1989, following the release of In Step, were two different people.

As with any great artist, particularly those of the blues persuasion, Stevie Ray Vaughan was constantly taking chances, stretching out, discovering new possibilities even in songs he performed nightly. Brother Jimmie Vaughan hit the nail on the head as only he could: "He never played it the same way once, much less twice." As impressive as Stevie's too-brief studio career was, the records represent only freeze-frame stills of songs (and a guitarist) that were continually evolving.

Van Halen concerts have been among the best in rock & roll for two decades, and this two-hour compilation of performances from the band's 1991-1992 For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge tour is living proof. Sammy Hagar is still busting his chops for the band on this disc and they are as hot as ever.

On his DVD, Live: The Wings Of Revelation, the Janos Varga Project (Varga, guitar; Istvan Kiraly, drums; Peter Hary, stick/bass) plays material from his latest releases, "The Wings Of Revelation I" (2000) and "The Wings OF Revelation II" (2002).

On December 6 & 7, 2001 Grammy Award-winning guitarist Steve Vai headlined two shows at London's famed Astoria. The cameras were there to capture the experience, and now that concert is available as a 2-disc DVD - Live At The Astoria London, emcompassing almost 4 hours of content. Disc 1 feaures the actual concert, and disc 2 offers a number of cool bonus features, including behind-the-scenes footage and interviews.

As one of the most acclaimed guitarists for over a decade, Steve Vai continues to push musical and technological boundaries to the extreme with this groundbreaking DVD. This program includes the complete "Alien Love Secrets" album, featuring unique footage that allows you a special view into both Steve's guitar playing as well as the creative musical mood of each song. Songs: Bad Horsie, Juice, Die to Live, The Boy from Seattle, Ya-Yo Gakk, Kill the Guy with the Ball/The God Eaters, Tender Surrender.

This is not a film for anyone looking for an introduction to Irish band U2's career in the 1980s, but it is a vibrant portrait of an established group making its musical pilgrimage through the America it has always imagined through blues, gospel, and early rock 'n' roll. Filmmaker Phil Joanou (Heaven's Prisoners), a veteran music-video director and maker of the distractingly kinetic Three O'Clock High, finds a suitable outlet for his high energy in this juggernaut of a journey, which finds U2 collaborating with a black gospel choir and B.B.
