Made in Japan [Blu-ray]

an unhappy owner.....of the BR
I was very hopeful when I saw this scheduled for release... and a bit less excited when I picked it up at Best Buy today and noted barely a dozen tunes (not counting drum and guitar solos listed as songs). When you can buy the latest Scorpions set on BR which is a full 2+ hour concert and another nearly half hour of bonus features .....this barely over an hour set with virtually nothing in bonus features seems more suited for a VHS release rather than DVD or .... Blu Ray. The Whitesnake show on DVD from a few years back Whitesnake Live: In the Still of the Night (Deluxe Edition + CD) has this one beat on just about every count and would have made a great BR entry for Whitesnake. Another bummer is that the DVD can be purchased with a two CD bonus set up while the BR is bare bones? Even though it was short and lacking in features I gave in to my desires for some more great Rock video and brought it home today...

Half Of A Show For $20??? NOT!!!! No Hi-Def Audio??? NOT!!!
Not A Good Value...Blu-Ray has only 10 Songs and two of the ten are just crowd sing-along/drum solo! Beware!
That's right CD-HEAVEN...It sucks...Wassamatta? Can't sell them now that everyone knows? TOO BAD!! I didn't do my homework and didn't wait for others to review this title before purchasing...and I almost regretted it.
If you look at the great Blu-Ray concert videos out there from Eagles or Rush or Elton John, they use footage from several different performances to make for a long concert experience. Whitesnake has a long list of songs they could have put on here (just like the DVD "In The Still Of The Night")
I purchased Live in Japan on an impulse buy at Best Buy. Now I regret purchasing it w/o waiting for the Blu-Ray reviews. After bringing it home, I saw that there was only 10 songs! (10 songs plus two solos, which don't really count).
Here's my dilemma...do I unwrap it and get stuck with it...or do I return it and hope
"In The Still Of The...

great show ....but
The show was great, audio and picture were also good,but you will notice the sound track is dubbed over and it does not always match his live voice.
