This has to be the worst band ever signed to a major label.........2005-03-15

This is a new DVD/CD release recorded live in Nazareth's hometown of Glasgow. After watching this, I am convinced that this has to be the worst band ever signed to a major label. Mediocre musicians, terrible vocals and boring songs. I bet that even the band members are amazed that people pay real money to see them and actually applaud after each song.

First time seeing Nazareth.......2004-12-11

I grew up in the 70's listening to Hair of the Dog. I never saw them live or on film. Yeah, they are 50 year old guys now but
Dan still has his hair and that killer voice. The songs still rock especially Miss Misery, Beggars Day, Whiskey Drinking Woman and Hair of the Dog. They sound great, the new guitar player holds up well. I have watched it every day for three days and like it more and more. Very glad I picked this up. Dan's voice has not changed after all these years. Unbelievable. Like all the great bands of the 70's, their fans have all gotten old but the music is still great.

Great band, great show!.......2004-03-10

This dvd shows that naz still kick. Great songs, performances and sound. Great classic hard rock at it's best.

Satisfied 100%.......2003-02-24

I disagree with the dude who didn't like the sound. Dan's microphone was a bit quiet, but everything else is a top notch. I saw then in 2000 and 2001 in US tours and teh DVD was as good as seeing them live. I was satisfied 100% with this product.

A very special reunion tour.......2005-03-21

Honestly as a teen in the 70's, Hair of the Dog was the only Nazareth record I owned, and partly because of the very cool slip cover art that was used. But the more I listened to it, the more I liked this band, and then I saw them in concert in 78' and was disappointed because they didn't have long hair like all of my other favorite bands at the time. Well they still don't have long hair, but the powerful voice is as strong as ever and while I can't say they have exactly aged well from a physical standpoint (like Paul Rodgers for instance), they certainly know how to put on a show and make it look easy. I highly recommend this selection to other children of the 70's who enjoy time travel now and again.

The Good
Homecoming
Nazareth kicks off their set with the mid-tempo song "When the Lights Come Down". They chose a small, intimate club setting for this homecoming performance. The group breaks into "Razamanaz" to get the crowd moving. McCafferty does his best Brian Johnson (AC/DC) impression vocally. "Miss Misery" brings the tempo down a bit, but it accented by a great repetitive guitar lick. A poor little rich kid is the subject of the ironic song "Holiday". The riff is pure classic rock. The seventies where a big time for songs about bicycles apparently, Queen comes to mind, and Nazareth chime in with "My White Bicycle".

"Heart's Grown Cold" has a beautiful piano introduction that's capped off with an emotional vocal performance. McCafferty dedicates "Whiskey Drinking Woman" to all the mothers in the world. The familiar simple riff of "Hair of the Dog" will grab your attention. Its funny how a melody so simple, is so effective when delivered. For the funky, robotic-like section, McCafferty breaks out a set of bagpipes with a vocal tube attached (a la Peter Frampton, Bon Jovi). Who knew the bagpipes could do that? The band closes out the set with their biggest hit "Love Hurts".

Extras
An interview with the band is the only bonus feature. All the members of Nazareth are interviewed about various topics. Among the topics discussed are how the band got together, what they did before hand, where the name came from, back story on their Joni Mitchell remake, line-up changes, influences, and more. Between the interview segments is rehearsal footage for the big live performance.

The Bad
McCafferty has a hard time hitting the notes on "Love Hurts", but that's expected after all these years.

The Verdict
I didn't realize how mid-tempo and mellow the majority of Nazareth songs are. Where the group lacks in energetic songs, they make up for with their musical delivery and strong performance. After all the years past, Nazareth still put on a good rock show. The DVD extras are skimpy, but you get a live CD out of it. You can't beat that!
