Product: Winger Live (2007)
Rating: 5.0
Highly recommended for those who respect musicianship
I saw them in 2007 on the tour that this DVD was recorded on, and again in 2008. Unfortunately I saw them in a dive club where the atmosphere was cool, but it was hard to see anything and the sound was mediocre. Just like watching the Superbowl in person versus HDTV, there's nothing like being there, but there's also nothing like having the best seat in the house where you can see and hear everything perfectly and not get other people's beer spilled on you. This DVD captures the shows that I saw perfectly.Winger basically defines the high-water mark for hair-pop-metal when it comes to musicianship, and seeing them now is like seeing Charlie Parker in the early 50s. Mass taste has moved on to things easier for the masses to understand and play, leaving performance of this caliber to be appreciated only by those who know."We wanted a music that they couldn't play" - Thelonious Monk
