Great! This is a very fine show ! There are some great performances like "Raised on rock", "Memphis Tennessee", "Trouble", "My boy" and "Help me make it through the night". I'll buy it surely.

I have Fire in Vegas. A really good show.But the sound is very poor. And that's from the original sound. Probaly they used a tool to get a better sound. And that's a good idea.Agfain the show is very good
