Pero is a professional ║ │ │║ recording of a complete gig from soon-to-retire ║ │ │║ metal stalwarts Twisted Sister as they make ║ │ │║ their way through a tour which is now being ║ │ │║ conducted in honour of fallen comrade AJ Pero ║ │ │║ who died last year. The legendary Mike Portnoy ║ │ │║ covers skin-bashing duties for this gig û the ║ │ │║ bandÆs first with out AJ û and the remainder of ║ │ │║ the tour dates. ║ │ │║ As well as being a full gig recording, there are ║ │ │║ little snippets of interview throughout from the ║ │ │║ band members and others. One of which details ║ │ │║ that each member of the band nominated someone ║ │ │║ theyÆd like to have cover for them in the event ║ │ │║ that they couldnÆt perform. ItÆs somehow nice to ║ │ │║ know that Portnoy is covering at AJÆs own ║ │ │║ request. These little bits and pieces (which ║ │ │║ donÆt add much to the running length) are part ║ │ │║ of a full 90+ minute documentary thatÆs also ║ │ │║ included û The Tougher The Road, The Harder They ║ │ │║ Rock. While the documentary doesnÆt perhaps have ║ │ │║ the rewatch value of the concert, itÆs still ║ │ │║ pretty good and features a load of chat from the ║ │ │║ band themselves, so everything is from from the ║ │ │║ horseÆs mouth, so to speak. ItÆs actually quite ║ │ │║ entertaining as some of the sections of the ║ │ │║ interview contradict each other û the band have ║ │ │║ been shown some of the third party recordings ║ │ │║ and clarify some of the stories and rumours! ║ │ │║ The gig itself, though, is of the kind of ║ │ │║ quality youÆd expect from Twisted Sister. Sound ║ │ │║ quality is spot on and the video work is ║ │ │║ perfect. Lots of camera angles, all the ║ │ │║ between-song banter and the band themselves on ║ │ │║ top form. If thereÆs a criticism, itÆs the ║ │ │║ audience. I like hearing a big crowd reaction in ║ │ │║ the background and between songs, and in this ║ │ │║ recording theyÆre quite mute. ThereÆs a bit of a ║ │ │║ cheer between songs but IÆd have liked more û ║ │ │║ you can hardly hear them screaming back to Dee ║ │ │║ when heÆs trying to get them going to the point ║ │ │║ it sometimes feels heÆs shouting at an empty ║ │ │║ room. But, hey, IÆm picking nits here. ║ │ │║ ThereÆs a great selection of songs (see further ║ │ │║ down) and if this is the set they run with at ║ │ │║ Bloodstock next month then I couldnÆt be ║ │ │║ happier. I certainly expect a rowdier audience ║ │ │║ for their final UK show! Covering a fair amount ║ │ │║ of their history andà well, IÆd like to say ôall ║ │ │║ the classicsö but they have too many so there ║ │ │║ are bound to be a couple that didnÆt make the ║ │ │║ cut. ║ │ │║ Particularly poignant is the AJ Pero tribute ║ │ │║ towards the end. Portnoy vacates the drums and ║ │ │║ video / audio of AJ himself playing a solo is ║ │ │║ allowed to let rip for a couple of minutes, ║ │ │║ really cementing his place on this final tour. A ║ │ │║ well done, without being overdone, gesture. ║ │ │║ Given the landmark importance of the gig û the ║ │ │║ location, the first without AJ, the first of the ║ │ │║ final tour cycle û this is a DVD/Blu-Ray/CD ║ │ │║ worth picking up for fans. As a casual, but ║ │ │║ respectful, Twisted Sister fan I can say I ║ │ │║ thoroughly enjoyed both the live footage and the ║ │ │║ documentary. Roll on Bloodstock so I can ║ │ │║ experience it for real! ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │╔═════════════════════╗ │ │║ Release Tracklist ║ │ │╚═════════════════════╩══════════════════════════════════════════ │ │ │ │ 01 - What You Don't Know [05:15] │ │ 02 - The Kids are Back [02:55] │ │ 03 - Stay Hungry [03:08] │ │ 04 - The Beast [03:44] │ │ 05 - Shoot 'em Down [03:49] │ │ 06 - You can't Stop Rock 'N' Roll [04:12] │ │ 07 - I Believe in Rock 'N' Roll [06:01] │ │ 08 - Under the Blade [04:34] │ │ 09 - I Am (I'm Me) [03:28] │ │ 10 - We're Not Gonna Take It [04:26] │ │ 11 - The Fire Still Burns [03:39] │ │ 12 - The Price [05:11] │ │ 13 - Burn in Hell [08:56] │ │ 14 - A.J.
