    Great rock archive of a great musician

    There were some good shots of Rory riding on a sea of musical emotion as he plays some great riffs in 'walking on hot coals' in fact its great archive for anyone who likes to play guitar or drums as Rod de'ath is superb on drumming, Rory shows some unusual guitar techniques and the riffs are varied...also some interesting shots of Cork and Belfast.

    TASTE THIS...

    A dated but interesting biography built around tour footage. Look at the way it was ...and wonder!!This was a top band, just look at the luxury lifestyle -chauffeur driven Ford Zodiacs, a scabby changing room with one sink!!

    I think this is for those who witnessed it in the seventies -and although the footage is dated, this is a pretty good view of the man and his music. He really comes out of it as a very humble guy -I remember he was portrayed as a bit of an egomaniac as Taste was disbanded. It's a historical DVD.

    I would have rated it higher had more of my personal favourite tracks (from earlier) been on it -but it is good.
