Full length commentary by director Peter Clifton

This is an essential DVD purchase for any Glenn Hughes fan. He is a guest of Rata Blanca, during a gig in Buenos Aries, Argentina. The DVD was released in 2005. Rata Blanca are a late ’80s /’early ’90s rock style band with a lead singer who appears to model himself on Bruce Dickinson.

Their playing is very accomplished and worth checking out, although not really to my taste. Having said that, the ballad “Cuando la Luz Oscurece” is pretty impressive. The DVD comes with English subtitles as well so you can keep track of the decent lyrics. The real star of the band is the lead guitarist. I was very impressed with his performance throughout. He can adapt styles from hard rock / metal to subtle blues based playing and he is technically very competent. H
