Guitar legend Steve Vai collaborates with Holland's Metropole Orkest in this concert release that finds Vai's unique guitar playing backed by a full orchestra. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi
I own this DVD, and it's a must for Steve Vai fans or any guitar aficionado. The Okest is superb, and the arrangement/orchestration is amazing. In the extras, Vai mentions that some of these songs are performed as he originally wrote them, but was unable to get an orchestra to back him. "For The Love Of God" is mindblowingly good here, as is this quirky version of "The Attitude Song". Includes pieces written for this project which are also really great. The guys playing percussion are a real hoot to watch.
