Learning To Live
A Change Of SeasonsSound production is amazing, sounds as good as on the studio album. Visual production is good, although the split screens can get annoying sometimes, would of been better if this was an optional feature.
This DVD is just great. You'll be amazed with the quality of the band's live performance, and the story of the album is great as well. Every aspect is impressive and worthy of watching/listening to millions of times. If it were lost or stolen, I'd definitely buy it again.
Rating: 4/5
Rock on!
