Ok, so now that I've been immersing myself in All Things Winger for the last few months, I'm a collector on the hunt! I now have Videos-Vol. 1 and In The Heart Of The Young-1 and 2 on VHS, and the Making of Pull, Making of IV, and Winger Live on DVD.
What I'm looking for now is the Winger Live in Japan '91 VHS. Anyone own this? I understand that it's pretty rare, but I'd gladly pay to have a copy (I'm also interested in any other concerts by Winger or Kip solo). Thanks!

Hi Vanessa,

That's awesome to hear you are in collector's mode Sadly, I can't help you with this one, since I don't have this either. Other than searching eBay or finding someone who has one, I just don't know since it's ut of production. Have you tried searching Google in Japan? Of course, it may be difficult to translate, but it might give you some leads. Good luck in your search.

Vanessa, you sound just like me. I pretty much did the same thing about 11 months ago!LOL!

I did manage to get the Japan '91 concert on DVD. I got it on ebay. I don't see that release there very often because as Deeandra said, it is out of print. But, keep searching. It comes up occasionally.

Happy Collecting!

I Took the advice here and headed over to Ebay, and luck was with me--1 copy of Live In Japan '91 on DVD was up for bids. The auction ended a short time ago, and now, the DVD is mine! YAYYYY! Can't wait to get it. :D

That's awesome Vanessa!! Great job and congrats! I'm glad you won Let us know how it is.

Well, I got the Live In Japan '91 dvd today, and it's musically awesome! The boys play and sing like the tight and talented band they are.
What I didn't realize is that every time I watch this thing, I'll need to strap on a droolbib first! My goodness....four good-looking, long-haired guys strutting around in sexy leather and denim! <thud!> Damn, they looked good in this show....just wow... <ahem> LOL

OK, I'm done now.

Awesome Vanessa! I am so glad you got it and that you like it. They certainly are so incredibly talented....always have been and they just keep getting better. They so rock!!!

That really is a great video! They sounded awesome. I recently watched it and I was thinking how great Reb's playing is. I mean he really is the sound of Winger, you know! By that I mean, he has such a distinct sound and when you hear him play, well, for me....it's Winger!

Of course, they all are amazing musicians....it's just what I was thinking when I watched it recently! And how much fun do they look like they are having???? I watch it and can't help thinking how much I would love to be up there playing! They are awesome. I think one of my favorite parts in toward the end of Rainbow In The Rose. I just love that part....very progressive sounding and boy were they tight! Those parts rock!!

Okay....I once again rambled on....I do that a lot!

Yeah, it's so true about Reb--man, on the Japan show--the string tapping solo! My Lord, he's fast! I always though EVH was a great tapper and still do, but Reb taps circles around him! The "Making of Pull/IV" dvds show Reb's brilliant gift for pulling catchy guitar riffs out of nowhere (he is also hysterically funny in these vids. Love that!). Brad Gillis of Night Ranger has always been my favorite guitarist ever, and I was pleased to read that Reb is also a huge fan of Brad's and got to tour with him in NR last year. You can tell that Reb's and Brad's playing styles are very similar on their solo albums in particular, but they're also distinctly different as well. I love them both. Reb is the "who I'd like to meet" person on my MySpace page.

After watching "The Making Of Pull", I am convinced that the Winger boys are some of the most talented musicians that have ever walked the planet. They play, what...5 different music styles (hard rock, death metal, Motown/funk, jazz, Old World stuff) and play them all WELL! That was jaw-dropping. I especially loved the jazz fusion/lounge lizard version of "Blind Revolution Mad" and the bizarre Middle Eastern-sounding ditty they played during the end credits. Too funny!

I just wish there was more recorded material (video-wise) available out there. It'd be fantastic if Kip decides to release a full-length vid of the making of FTMTTS. Saw a couple of studio snippets on YouTube and I was hooked. That kind of behind-the-scenes stuff is fascinating to me and I Can't Get Enough if it.

Sidenote: Um, does Kip perform "One Big Game" in his solo shows? If he does, then please give me a heads-up, because a change of underclothing will certainly be in order if I ever hear him sing that one live...
