Legendary Swedish guitarist YNGWIE MALMSTEEN will release the "Raw Live" DVD on June 29. According to a press release, the set "provides an unprecedented and unique look at the rise of a guitar god. Spanning from 1981 through 1999 and encompassing extremely rare footage of Yngwie's early years in Sweden, this video displays the infancy of Yngwie's prodigious skills well prior to his first worldwide album and travels through Yngwie's masterful career, including his masterful performances from his first solo albums, 'Rising Force', 'Marching Out', and 'Trilogy'. Also included in this unique video are never-released behind-the-scenes footage of Yngwie and newly shot personal touches of Yngwie which open up the viewer to a side of the guitar maestro which is rarely seen by the public."

Definitaly for Malmsteen fans only, the majority of this is directly taken from it's original 'raw' source and placed straight onto DVD - the result produces some 'not very clear imagery' and 'dodgy sound'. However, none of these performances can be seen on any of Malmsteen's other DVD releases and therefore makes this worth a purchase.
Having said all that, 70% to 80% of this DVD is fairly easy on the eye and presents good viewing.

The main point of this release is, however, the fact that it got released at all ! How many artists would be brave enough to release an 'untouched' DVD ? How many artists are confident enough in their own ability to release such a DVD ? Probably no one other than Mr Malmsteen himself.
Worth adding to your Yngwie collection.

Putain de DVD de merde !! Ces vidéos, on peut déjà en trouver certaines sur Youtube ! Il a pris des bootlegs, les a foutus sur un DVD et il ose vendre ça aux fans ??
Son pourri, qualité d'image pourrie, on reconnaît personne ! C'est une honte !! Encore s'il y avait un ou deux documents pas de super qualité, mais un DVD complet comme ça, c'est incroyable.....
J'ai l'impression de m'être fait arnaqué.....
En plus, quand je pense que j'ai eu une plainte de Malmsteen Management pour avoir publié sur Youtube son interview de Metal Express en 1992....au moins j'ai pu la faire partager à quelques fans et sans les faire payer !!!!
