"This DVD is an absolute treasure. I have been waiting for a performance DVD from these guys for a long time and I am happy to say it was worth the wait.

I used to see Zebra in Port Chester, NY at a place called Detroit before they were every signed to a record deal. I was barely old enough to get in and these guys blew me away. Just regular friendly guys, they would mingle in the audience between sets. A true power trio, all three are amazing musicians. They used to play a ton of Zeppelin covers but I loved it most when they would play their originals.

This DVD is like a trip through memory lane for me, but besides that these guys are as sharp and on top of their game as they were 30 years ago. Here's the live performances that are on this DVD:

As I Said Before
Wait Until The Summer's Gone
Light Of My Love
K.K. Is Hiding
When You Get There
The La La Song
Bears
But No More
One More Chance
Tell Me What You Want
Arabian Nights
My Life Has Changed
No Tellin' Lies
Who's Behind The Door
Free
Take Your fingers From My Hair

Great interviews especially with Randy. My only complaint is that there are interviews interspersed between the songs with no option to play without them although you can just skip through. I have found myself watching this over and over and have some new favorite songs that I never heard before.

If you have ever seen these guys live buy the DVD it will be just like you remembered them. If you never saw them live, this is your chance.

Enjoy!

Some guys just have what it takes!!!

"While working as the House Sound Engineer at "The Chance" in Poughkeepsie NY 1988 - 1991. I had the pleasure of doing stage monitors for most of the acts that came thru. From Huey Lewis to Skid Row.

I have to say when the Zebra guys came thru (I think 3 times) they were one of the most together acts I have ever dealt with. The gear was fast and very tight. Felix's Keyboard stand was the first thing off the truck and when you saw it knew who was in town. The FOH guy also did a great job as well. His delay work was spot on. Timed perfect and never to strong. He never beat up my house rig. Just got the best out of it and made the whole day/show a great time for everyone.

The band were true pros. Focused, precise and human.
Some of the other acts... Well you know!

This DVD brought me right back to then. The stage gear is quite simpler now. A smart move in today's world. Although Randy, I kinda miss the BC Rich. But that LP Custom looks about as broken in as I ever seen. And I wonder if Felix misses the "Monster Rig". One keyboard and a SVT? Who woulda thunk it?
And Guy, I think he could make wooden spoons, two pillows and a phonebook sound good!

Any way... The DVD is a must have. The band is still quite amazing.

Thanks fellas! 30 more!!!!"

"Looking forward to seeing this DVD. Zebra was always "Top Notch" when it came to performing. It seems we all grew up with these guys. Back in the late 70's early 80's, in Houma, Louisiana. We saw them grow from performing in High School gyms for CYO dances, to big arenas like the Louisiana Superdome. Going from an opening act, to closing down and stealing the show. Had the chance of meeting Randy Jackson (Wow!) and he was a very humbled and down to earth musician...something extraordinarily out of the ordinary! Good job guys...Keep the music coming!"

Definitely Zeabra Brah!

"If you like Zebra, this will be a cool treat. This home grown DVD brought back great memories of the most underappreciated super group. I always felt like they were not marketed as the New Orleans Rock and Roll band they were, and that the glam rock/hair band media impression was way off."
