Dedicated to the life of Cesar Chavez, Sacred Fire: Live In Mexico possibly showcases Carlos Santana and band at their pre-"Supernatural" peak, with the focus on Santana's guitar, Latin percussion, and compositions - instead of on guest singers, rap artists and collaborators. All songs were recorded live in Mexico City on May 22 and 23, 1993. Keyboard wiz Chester Thompson is unbelievable, the audience is primed and pumped, and Carlos' brother Jorge stands in at second guitar - absolutely dynamite live material.

Lightdance is a visual music excursion exploring the infinite patterns of color, light and form found in the natural world. Using a unique new filming technique, award-winning director David Fortney transports you on a magical flight over mystical landscapes, through enchanting forests and over oceans of wildflowers. In a spectacular departure, you soar through cloud formations into starfields, to distant galaxies where comets of light dance to hypnotic rhythms. Inspired by Santana's most spirited music, Lightdance is an ethereal rush to your senses.

Live Evolution isn't a retrospective about a band who have left their mark on music. It is the documentation of a band who are leaving their mark on music. At the Moore Theatre, Queensryche brought their past into the present and gave us hope for the future. Live Evolution is more than dedication, inspiration and musical evolution. Live Evolution is Queensryche. The DVD was recorded live July 27th and 28th, 2001 from Seattle, Washington's Moore Theater.

Recorded at the final gig of the band's 2002 sell out UK tour, this two hour concert captures the very essence of Ozrics live experience with a frenzied capacity crowd at London's Shepards Bush Empire. The DVD includes classics from Ozric Tentacles' vast back catalogue as well as previously unreleased material and the odd 'space-jam' where the band free themselves from the shackles of rehearsed material and let the music wander into unknown territory.

This rocks! Eight great rock guitarists gathered together on one stage in a celebration of inspired guitar driven rock music. This is a feast of guitar magic as eight, very different guitarists compete, collaborate and celebrate their craft. World famous names like Robin Trower, Jan Akkermann and Ronnie Montrose are joined by Laurie Wisefield (Wishbone Ash), Rick Derringer and Ian Crichton (SAGA). The older heads provide the inspiration and impetus for two new and emerging talents: Dave Sharman and Danny Darekovic.

An expanded and more polished version of Lord of the Dance, Feet of Flames was recorded at an outdoor performance in London's Hyde Park. While much of the material is familiar to Flatley fans, the production is superior in every way. It's better photographed and the editing is less frenetic. The individual segments are sharper, more self-assured, as is Flatley, who also produced and directed this version.

Recorded live in Fort Worth, Texas, USA, on May 9-10, 1997. This is right in the thick of the "Load" tour when Metallica were trying something different. "So What" sounds pretty damn good and it's a good way to open the show. Right from that into "Creeping Death" which always sounds cool live. Later, a nice little version of "Fuel" with alternate lyrics and as always, "Fuel" smokes live. Then a bass/guitar doodle of "My Friend Of Misery" and "Sanitarium" into a very good version of "Nothing Else Matters".
