I didn't realize the DVD was out yet. Thanks for the heads up.

I was surprised to see some of the lesser known instrumentalists that I thought only I knew of. Great to see Kitaro and James Matheos!!!
I'll also add - even though some are only individual songs not albums:

Michael Schenker/UFO - Lipstick Traces
Michael Schenker - Into the Arena, Bijou Pleasurette, Captain Nemo
Gary Moore - The Loner
Uli Jon Roth - Winterdays
Rush - any instrumental they ever did
Steve Morse - High Tension Wires
