Flotsam and Jetsam "once in a deathtime" dvd

This is the best live dvd they have done so far. Their performace is well executed and a good mix of old and newer songs. The dvd i bought has a bonus cd with the same songs that are on the dvd. The recording is raw but clear and there are no overdubs making it a "real" live recording.

I love F&J and their previous DVDs leave something to be desired. I'm glad this one is better produced. I need to check it out. BTW, in the Swatting at Flies clip, Eric AK is looking a bit like Scott Waters, minus the in shape part.

Now if the guys would just produce a new album!

They're working on one as we speak.

Is this available as a cd only or do you have to get the dvd as well? I'd listen to a live cd, but I don't have time or desire to watch a dvd.

For what it's worth, I'm the exact opposite.

I hope it's better then the last two. I've got My God and Dreams of Death and don't care for either one very much. Now I loved the first two and consider both of them classics. I haven't heard any of the albums after the first two and before My God. Are they worth checking out?

"When The Storm Comes Down" is my personal favorite but alot of people don't care for it much. At least check out "Cuatro". That is a unsung classic, IMO.

Mine came as a cd/dvd combo in a jewel case. Here's a good description of the product...

Product Description
One of the legendary bands of the thrash-metal scene, Flotsam and Jetsam, perform live in this concert which was recorded and filmed last year in Poland in front of thousands of screaming Flotsam fans. The two disc set (CD/DVD) includes the band s classics such as, No Place For Disgrace , Doomsday For The Deceiver and Escape From Within . Flotsam and Jetsam has become a staple over the years within thrash metal circles.The band was formed in Arizona by vocalist Eric A. K., guitarists Michael Gilbert and Edward Carlson, bassist Jason Newsted, and drummer Kelly David-Smith. After signing with Metal Blade Records, they recorded their rough, but ambitious 1986 debut, Doomsday for the Deceiver , which displayed a huge Metallica influence. Ironically, the metal giants would soon recruit Newsted to replace bassist Cliff Burton, who had died in a tragic tour bus crash. In another strange twist, Flotsam and Jetsam then signed with Metallica's label Elektra, for whom they recorded their second album, 1988's No Place for Disgrace." Flotsam supported the record by touring North America relentlessly. Switching to MCA, the band issued three more albums (1990's When the Storm Comes Down ),1992's Cuatro , and 1995's Drift ) The band went back to Metal Blade for three more albums before releasing Dreams Of Death (Crash Music) in 2005.

I have a friend who bought this and loves it. I haven't had a chance to see it.

I need to see this one. I enjoyed the other two DVDs but they were a tad lacking IMHO.

I listened to the cd. Havent had a chance to watch the dvd yet but the cd is actually very good. I wasnt sure what to expect since their last album was ok but produced horribly. Thankfully this one has a good sound and good choice in songs except forkboy.

Cuatro is definetly one to pick up!

Are the cd and the dvd of the same show? Is there any difference in the track listings or anything ommitted between the 2?

both are the same the dvd just has interviews, discography etc...
