> Ever since 1986, when I first heard this performance on CD, I dreamed of the day I would get to buy the video.  This live concert is straight from Earthshaker's "Passion Tour", and features songs from their first 4 albums.  Included are 13 live songs, plus an ending clip to Arigato Kimini.

     > Those of you who follow the music section here at Shin Force are well aware that I've rated this live performance the best of any band I've heard.  I wish I could say the same for the video.  Specifically, the camera angles are sometimes annoying and the lighting is lacking.  I just thought of something else -- how come Earthshaker rarely has a band logo in the background?  Anyway, the sound more than makes up for the quirky camera and lighting teams.

     > The best track would most certainly be "The Night We Had".  It's "Passion's" best song and Shara's live version is arguably better than the studio one.  Heck, this whole tracklist might be better sounding than the studio counterparts.  I do wish the concert was longer with perhaps a guitar solo, but I'm very happy nonetheless.

     > Any self-respecting fan of J-Metal will want this DVD.  It's akin to getting Live-Loud-Alive by Loudness.  The pros of the soundtrack and playlist far outweigh the cons of the video and lighting, hence a perfect rating.
