Steve Lukather and Los Lobotomys in concert.......2006-11-05

Refreshing, really interesting to see Lukather with is side project. The band is great the drummer is Simon Phillips who is the actual drummer of Toto. Good quality recording. You will have your money worth.

Steve Lukather WOW!.......2006-02-16

Awesome DVD with an unbelievable band! Buy this, you will not be dissappointed. Steve Lukather is one of the all time greatest musicians and Simon Phillips is a legendary drummer. Watch how these pros get through a very entertaining set list.

Great musicianship, weak songs.......2005-04-24

I've played guitar for a long time and think Steve Lukather is an outstanding electric guitatist. The rest of the band are excellent musicians as well, but all of the songs, save for Hendrix' "Freedom", is little more than garden-variety blues/rock with some fusion and jazzy strains sprinkled into the mix.

The audio is tinny and the director makes an all too common error that has become pandemic in music perforance videos: directors who show the wrong guy on screen while another guy in the band is soloing. Such is the case on the tune, "Party in Simon's Pants", a showcase for drumming force Simon Phillips. While Philllips tears it up, we are shown just about everyone else in the band. Either the director had no clue, or the cameras were in the wrong position. Additionally, the video producers made the mistake of letting the audience stand right next to the stage, and this obstructs the camera's view, esp. of Lukather, the star of the show. Just plain dumb!

I read all the other folks' rave reviews of this DVD and I don't get it. Lukather has shown he can pen good songs, and just about all of the tunes here are tepid. The group really sparkles and percolates on Hendrix' "Freedom." Sorry, one great song is not worth purchasing this DVD. You can find the "Freedom" video track on the Ohne Filter compilation DVD...you get more diverse artists and the best tunes...get that instead.

The biggest challenge for musicians with great chops is finding the right vehicle to showcase their talents. The songs on this disk fail miserably in that regard.

Pass on this one...don't buy into the hype of the other reviews posted here. Save your money!

Great performance!.......2003-09-02

I have been waiting for the release of a DVD with the Lobotomy's for quite some time. I have had the privilege of seeing them in concert a few times while in L.A. and to be able to pop this DVD in whenever I want and relive the experience is priceless. The production quality is less than stellar, but it's tolerable. If I had one wish, it would have been for a longer performance, but hey, I'll take what I can get. The performance is fabulous, and they even have a cardboard cut-out of Sammy Davis Jr. on stage for inspiration. Overall, a great DVD!

Great performance... but one problem...........2003-03-07

... Luke and Simon are awsome together. This performance is mind blowing to watch and hear whether you're a musician or someone that likes anything fusion/rock/jazz. Personally, I bought it to be able to watch Simon Phillips who is (in my opinion) one of the most innovative and powerful drummers in the world and hasn't performed on many DVD's. In fact, outside of his instructional video, to my knowledge this is the only one.

The "Ohne Filter" productions that I've bought are all suprisingly good quality for TV productions. The audio is really good but is not as good as concerts that were digitally recorded originally for 5.1. That shouldn't be a surprise. But, they are recorded very well and the audio really rocks... you'll be very happy with the purchase. It's awsome.
