Just a couple of days ago, the new Saint Vitus dvd reached me. The Americans recorded their performance that took place in Chicago, on 1st of July 2003, during their reunion tour. It has been such a long time since Wino, Chalder, Adams and Acosta met on stage for the last time, for a full show performing some classic doom metal.
\r\nIm not going to review the technical features, that seems to be rather a bootleg recording, but this does not affect the whole release, the sound and the camera work is pretty good enough. But the most of us we are more interested in the music played by vitus and not their dvd quality.
\r\nSo we place the DVD on the tray, we push the play button and here we go , Clear Widowpane, Dying Inside, White Magic / Black Magic, Living Backwards, I Bleed Black, Zombie Hunger, White Stallions, Born Too Late, Mystic Lady and as a desert we have the track Saint Vitus. The is a live wire, Chalder in his own world once again, providing us once again his doomy giga – riffs and almost destroying his Wah pedal. Wino as always a top performer, with no unnecessary movements, only his face expression while singing “ I know I don’t belong, And there’s nothing I can do ,I was born too late, And I ll Never be like you” is enough for me. Adams and Acosta in their palces and in the right tempo
\r\nIn conclusion all of you friends and followers of Saint Vitus try to have this DVD as fast as you can (although, speed is not your strong poinr). Children of Doom, Saint Vitus ‘ our Father
