The Show:
Let's face it....when it comes to getting the short end of the stick when it comes to the chances to see BA perform live, it's the fans located in South America who have the best argument. Granted, when I think of South America, it's not a place I would have ever guessed is a hot-bed of BA fans, but after his tour in 2007 (his first set of dates in South America since 1990), I'm dead wrong. Apparently, he's pretty popular there. Based on the response of the songs, it wasn't just that song about loving a woman that put him over the top there.

Back in the Fall of 1996, a proper BA tour of South American countries was to take place, but fell through in the planning stages and never followed-up on...until 11 years later.

This performance as part of the Festival Internacional and is the first show of eight for the band over the next 11 days in countries such as Chile, Uraguay, Argentina and Brazil. This show was by far the highest-profile on the tour since it was part of such a huge festival. The event had some major sponsors such as Pepsi and BA was part of a press conference the day before to help promote the event and his performance. (20 bucks says he didn't take a single sip out of the glass of Pepsi put in front of him at the press conference).

The entire country of Chile is a narrow (100 miles wide on average), but long country running parallel to the Pacific Ocean for 3000 miles all the way down as far south as land gets before you have a long and chilly swim to Antartica. Vina Del Mar is located in the middle on Chile close to its largest city Santiago where BA played in 1990 as a support act for David Bowie and was filmed professionally on DVD.

While a festival venue that is being filmed for TV comes across more as a performance on a late-night talk show rather than a rock n' roll show (this was not BA's typical stage set up), the end result is....us fans still get a professionally filmed concert out of it. So...who's to complain?

The Songs:
As is the case with most festival performances, the show was running late and as a result, BA's set was cut short in order to finish the event on time for the television production. BA didn't come out until 11pm and cranked through an abbreviated, but fan-friendly set list featuring hits from the Anthology collection...just like he had promised at the press conference the day before.

Perhaps the biggest surprise was the opening number of Can't Stop This Thing We Started which may have been a last-minute change to accommodate a shorter show, but with the exception of only one other performance in South America, it remained as the opening song of the set.

Remaining songs are pretty much what one would expect for a 15 song/75 minute abbreviated set. Aside from the typical frenzy created by the opening riff of Summer of '69, you just had to know that Have You Really Ever Loved a Woman would be a cornerstone song at all the South American stops on the tour. Based on the reaction from this crowd, it was a big hit every night Keith hit the opening note on his spanish guitar.

The Recording:
It's a pro-filmed show so lots of nice angles, close-ups and clarity all the way through. Only flaw is the audio/video is slightly off sync. THat's the only reason this is not an A+ recording.

A generic menu is used to start playing of the DVD and the tracks are split by time, not by song. Once the DVD being playing, the first 60 seconds is a Pioneer logo which then cuts into the start of the performance.
