Zebra caught LIVE!!!
Excellent!! If you are a Zebra fan and, you know, who isn't? Then you will eat this up! Interviews and two live shows (an acoustic Long Island, NY show and an even better electric show from the House of Blues in New Orleans...the majority of it!) put together to add up to, basically a two hour documentary on the band. It's the original three guys and you get a chance to know them better, hear their voices, get an idea of their personalities and what they bring to the band,and best of all, to see them play live, which wasn't always an easy show to catch back in the day, especially outside of their two bases of the New York and New Orleans areas. If you want to catch Zebra live and you haven't yet or maybe you have and want to relive the experience, this is the DVD you want. Great stuff from an underrated/fairly unknown band of the 1980's. Randy Jackson's guitar playing is epic!! As an aside, I got a chance, a few years back, to catch Randy solo singing and playing his twelve string acoustic and it was a virtual jukebox of the 60's and 70's music that he grew up on and was inspired by...lots of Zeppelin and Beatles, with some Elton John and Rush thrown in for good measure. And, of course the great Zebra originals that we all know. If you get a chance to see him, do so and pick up his tribute to the Beatles album while you're at it!! I think it's available on Amazon as well.

It's About Time
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 BeforeWait Until The Summer's GoneLight Of My LoveK.K. Is HidingWhen You Get ThereThe La La SongBearsBut No MoreOne More ChanceTell Me What You WantArabian NightsMy Life Has ChangedNo Tellin' LiesWho's Behind The DoorFreeTake Your fingers From My HairGreat 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!!!!

A labor of love for New Orleans hometown rockers
It's clear that a lot of love went into this DVD, which consists of a history and not quite enough concert footage of perhaps the best pure rock band to come out of New Orleans. Having seen them 25+ times in the late 80s, I admit this DVD is also a nostalgic trip for me. Still, these guys have always been an incredible live band, and I sure wish they could have made it to full-blown stardom. If you like Zeppelin, Rush, have any connection to New Orleans or Long Island, or simply want to see a really great power trio, with an insanely accomplished and powerful drummer, pick up this DVD. I can't imagine you'll be disappointed.

Zebra Rocks
Interesting background story about band and how they got a little bit of fame. Big question was always why they never got the success like Rush or Zeppelin. Saw them in 87 in a bar called Club 19 in Clearwater, Fla. and they were (and are) a great live band. Overall, I think the DVD is great for the live feel of Zebra the only complaint I have personally is no 3.V material. Zebra please make another studio album it's been too long.
