Just in case anybody was holding out on getting into DVD.  ;-)

It's by Image, which means that it's sort of a half-assed DVD
transfer, with no extras (compare that to Metallica's balls-out 2-disc
multi-angle surround sound juggernaut, with animated menus and special
features coming out its ears).  But it's the classic BOC lineup -
featuring the 5 guitar attack - on DVD!  You gotta love that.

The Dolby 2.0 sound is kind of lame, but that's ok, because they also
included a PCM stereo track, which sounds fine.  The video looks
better than my beat up VHS tape, what a surprise.  :-) I haven't
watched all of it yet - I'll post a more complete review later.  But
basically, this is the same old Live 76 that we all know and love,
without the video noise problems and eventual media degredation of
VHS tape.  Isn't that reason enough to own it?  :-)
