Good morning all. Happy Holidays. For Christmas, I received the Live in Athens DVD. I wanted this on release day, but my wife and I have a rule - from November 1 until Christmas, we are not allowed to buy anything for ourselves.
So...I had to wait.
It was well worth it. We both watched the Live in Athens DVD yesterday evening after the Christmas festivities were over. Since I am a much bigger fan of modern FW music, it was great to have all this material live. Great sound.
I know there was supposed to be 5.1, so that is a bit of a bummer, but overall, I really loved this release. My only minor complaint is that whoever did the filming clearly didn't know when Frank soloed. It was ashame, as I reallyl wanted to see him spotlighted a bit, and the most we got was a few seconds of "seeing" it.
But, that aside, I was really happy to have gotten this, and big thanks to the guys for putting it out. I hope that FW treats us to a U.S. tour soon. It's been too long, and I really hope that Frank joins them on guitar. There's a special chemistry between him and Jim, and I loved seeing it live.
Hope everyone has been well, and sorry I haven't been around.
