It's definitely worth $10 as long as you know what you're getting. The video & sound are HEAVILY edited & the entire thing is quintessentially 1980s cheesy. It's somewhat of a documentary/concert combo, but it doesn't really pull off either very well. I don't regret owning it, but I think I've honestly watched it one time. There's just not very much substance to it.

Everytime I pull it out and start watching, I put it right back in the box after about 1 song. I can't get past the production either. Having said that I'm glad I have it for some weird reason.

Well, each time you do that, make sure you watch a different song each time. Wend your way through the whole thing that way.

"I Loved Another Woman" alone is worth the price.

I never found an original DVD of this concert (I used to have the tape, RIP.)

So not talking about the sound quality (my pirate dvd copy is not that good) but just the performances, I would say it is worth it anyway. My reviews:

The Chain. I don't like the Billy parts, but it's ok. You really miss Lindsey in this song.
Everywhere. Like it! It's even far better than The Dance version.
Dreams. hummm.... Stevie is too Klonopin
Seven Wonders. Good, I like it, even in spite of the Klonopin. Maybe it's the only Seven Wonders live performance in video (that's why you won't like Dreams, there are far better performances in other videos).
Isn't It Midnight. GREAT!!!!!!!
World Turning. Very cool. Some people hate these Mick solos but I do like it.
Little Lies. Cool.
Oh Well. Fine.
I Loved Another Woman. GREAT!!!!!!!
Stand Back. Very cool
Songbird. BEAUTIFUL! Very touchy
Don't Stop. Again, you will miss Lindsey here.

Absolutely hilarious. Marty Callner, you just take yourself a bow.

I distinctly remember not liking this version of Everywhere, since Stevie has what I feel is an obtrusive vocal line "I wanna be with you" in the refrain that's not in the studio or Dance versions. It just breaks the feel of the song, in my opinion. I like her additions to Isn't It Midnight much more.

The music sounds very, very flat. Stevie's voice sounds flat and fake (double-tracked or something??). The quality of the actual video is dull; it's "smokey"-looking. But back in the day, I bought it anyway!

Oh yes. The bold way Stevie chimed in made me think she might as well have gone up there and banged a gong on Everywhere. Michele

Funny. I do like it because of Stevie addition (kind of a different touch). Well, not only that. I do like how Christine sing it. I find more feeling in her voice than in The Dance version.

The World Turning is really crazy on that one if I remember correctly...
