In Burma, many people believe in ghost spirits called NATs. They are said to possess the power to assist or devastate the lives of those who recognize them. A PWE is a ceremony held to appease a Nat.

A Nat is summoned through a Kadaw; the flamboyant and charismatic master of the Pwe dressed in elegant costume. The Kadaw is a spirit medium, dancer, storyteller, and magician who exposes the crowd to a living incarnation of the Nat brought forth through opening ritual and careful observance of tradition.

"Shot live for TV by the legendary German music show “Rockpalast” this DVD represents the earliest example of a complete Fahey concert performance. The multi-camera filming features detailed close-ups of Fahey’s playing style giving fans a rare insight into what Pete Townsend has called the William Burroughs of the guitar. Fahey’s 1978 visit to Europe saw him in fine wild form performing an 11 track set and as an incredibly rare bonus a short interview with the maverick iconoclast.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

I'll say upfront Van Hagar isn't my favorite VH lineup, which explains why it took me ten years to discover this jem. The songs really grew on me by the third viewing. It was filmed during the For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge tour, so no surprise it contains nearly every song from this CD. Thats not the main reason to buy this DVD. Eddie is in great form. If you are a fan of guitar virtuosos performing great songs it simply doesn't get any better. I had to respond to the other review. I didn't hear a single "bum" note, and the energy level is amazing.The only negative is the video editing. For no apparent reason there are edits between two different concerts every few seconds - it's only noticeable due to the wardrobe changes. Half the time the video does not match the audio (by definition). No reason why an entire song can't be from the same night. Hyperactive MTV-style editing aside, this is a great concert DVD.

Definitely the best Van Halen DVD. Video Hits was good (not enough David Lee Roth), Live Without A Net was bearable (sound wasn't great. kind of a softer side of Van Halen). Live Right Here, Right Now is the best. After two albums (OU812 and 5150) Van Halen finally returned to their metal sound. True, it would never be the same with Diamond Dave out of the picture. This has a lot of songs from For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge and some old hits like When It's Love and Jump. It's not the best concert footage I've ever seen or anything, but as far as Van Halen DVDs go it gets a ten. The truth is they haven't put out that much and I'm sure most of us are sitting at home hoping that some old footage featuring David Lee Roth will get thrown on a DVD. No offense Sammy. It's a pity metal's greatest group never put out a concert video with their best singer.

I saw this DVD one day at a store and thought "Wow I didn't even know that they had another DVD." I got Live Without a Net for Christmas and was dumbfounded. So I figured hey, for the 12 bucks for this DVD I'm sure it will be worth it. But 12 dollars is kinda pushing it. The music, I think, couldn't be better. I mean it's Van Halen. But when the director came in with the little intro, saying he had 15 cameras spanning over 2 nights, I thought uh oh. But then I figured that maybe one song would be from one night, and another from the other night. But sadly, no. The video switches between concerts in mid-song. Not just once, but many times. You see Eddie with his goldish Wolfgang in one shot while standing right next to Sammy then in the next shot he is on the other side of the stage with a reddish amber Wolfgang. The cameras also switch way too much between members of the band and the audience, to the point where most would start to feel sick. The sound for the majority of the concert had a weird distorted buzzing to it, as if nobody even worried about adjusting levels for the video. But now onto the music. The band itself rocked, as usual. Michael Anthony's bass solo was awesome, far superior to the one in Live Without a Net. It made me smile :-) ha ha. Alex also gave a great drum solo. Sammy's little Eagles Fly solo was cool, but I think Sammy is such a great guitar player he could have done a few riffs as well. My favorite part (as well as every other guitarists') was Eddie's solo. He created sounds that I have never heard before. If that was the only thing on the DVD, I think i still would have bought it. Overall, the video isn't bad, but I believe the music saved it from being horrible. Probably the best thing to do is turn it on, go do something else, and just listen to the concert, not watch. But if you are going to do that, you may as well just go buy the Right Here Right Now CD.

This DVD gives me mixed emotions. On the one hand it resembles a great summary of the Sammy Hagar-Era, on the other hand there are two major turn-offs: First is the poor picture quality. There are visible MPEG-artefacts in the dark picture areas (which is a major part in a rock concert). Second turnoff is, that the performance consists obviously of two different shows. Note that Sammy Hagars outfit changes eventually. Summary: good concert, poor picture.
