Twisted Sister: Live at Wacken: The Reunion (2005)

Pero’s snare sound is a bit off at the beginning but his timing isn't, and as the show goes on everything gets progressively better. French and Ojeda are both on the mark. If you didn't know prior to watching how long Twisted Sister had been apart, you’d never guess from the performance alone. Mendoza pounds the bass like the animal he’s named for. But best of all, frontman Dee Snider hasn't lost any of his passion. It’s uncanny how much of his lyrics, penned decades ago, are fitting to a reunion occasion.
It’s not just music; it's intercut by each member separately discussing the breakup and eventual road to reformation. It’s interesting, but I’d prefer that kind of thing on a separate disc and have the gig uninterrupted.
