Good, but the sound isn't great imo. The vocals sound like they were recorded out in the crowd, rather than direct from the board. Too much reverb means they get buried in the mix.
But apart from that, love it.

It's still a visual nightmare, although the documentary bits are pretty good and informative imo...I'd say the docu stuff is worth more than the actual show is.

as did I, apparently it was posted today..so should hopefully have it by friday.Meanwhile, I've always been partial to the Metallica S&M concert, James sings fantastic on that.
From what I've heard the new Dream Theater dvd 'Score' is really good, on par with Live at Budokan, and Scenes from New York.
anyway! everyone else mentioned the other ones I was gonna say

Let us know what that's like , I've been considering this one recently but heard mixed views on it so far. Cheers

Yeh the dvd is cool. The gig is pretty long over an 1hr and 30mins i think. The band play well and theres some really cool dancers/performers that come on stage at certain points of the songs...adds to the circusy element. Most of the songs are of SS and LMI...and theres 1 or 2 from SM and 1 from their debut...
hmm well bottom line is its worth getting!

btw it has a few songs on youtube from the dvd. Saw it ages ago. Shipwrecked frontier pionier is pretty good. Hellhammer is amazing the only thing that is shit about it, is those gay swirlinh patterns in the songs that overlap the main image.

Without the cheese? Are we listening to the same record? Their previous few albums had nothing very cheesy on them at all, and were dark, mature prog metal. BE approaches flower king levels of inanity and moronic genre-hopping. How could you even joke that the interlude where daniel tells the girl that he'll drive and she can give him some NIIIIICE HEEADDDDD is not cheesy? Or that song that's clearly patterened after a broadway number? Or that atrocious attempt at doing a black spiritual where they all sing REALLY LOW? Or that dumb dumb dumb song with the phone messages talking to god as the only vocals?
BE is far and away the worst pain of salvation album. If you actually like it, the DVD's great, but I'm just not a fan (besides about 3 songs).
Good music DVDs:
Katatonia: Black Sessions (It's cheaply produced, sure, but they play pretty darn well and the setlist is great)
Dave Matthews: Listener Supported - great setlist, amazing live band - my favorite DVD of theirs
Jeff Buckley: Live in Chicago - some of the most amazing singing ever. The setlist is kinda lame (he basically just plays through Grace) but it's cheap and it's an amazing performance.
The Gathering: A Sound Relief - A really well-done DVD with incredible sound, and they play brilliantly, even if Anneke has some of the dorkiest stage moves of anyone ever. I'm looking forward to their next DVD, though, which is supposed to contain rockier numbers (this one is almost entirely their quieter songs).
Nine Inch Nails - And All That Could Have Been - Love them or hate them, they're ridiculously good live and this DVD is awesome (even though the 2-disc thing seems unnecessary).
Cannibal Corpse: Live Cannibalism - I find this pretty damn amusing, these guys can really play the shit out of their instruments (well...the drummer's kind of stupid) and the setlist is great. I'm not a big CC fan, but this DVD was more than worth the 9 bucks.
Dream Theater - Live in Tokyo - The setlist on Live at Budokan sucks major ass, and the NY DVD has the absolute worst cutscenes ever filmed interspersed throughout the performance, so this gets my vote for best dream theater DVD. It's mostly images and words material, but it's actually a pretty concise setlist by their standards and they play better than usual (Labrie doesn't sound like he's dying as often).
Spock's Beard has a DVD that my friends say is the best live DVD they've ever seen, but I absolutely hate Spock's Beard. If you like them, then definitely check it out?
One DVD that's total crap is Dark Tranquillity's. It has a great setlist and they play really well and the footage is cool, but it is MASSIVELY, MASSIVELY unsynced. It is absolutely intolerable to anyone with any ability to notice that the vocals are happening at a different time than the guy's mouth is moving, and it is almost constant through the whole set. Just awful. I have no idea how they let that get by.
I'm interested in the Tori Amos DVD someone mentioned - when was it recorded? What's the setlist like? I love a few of her albums (Little Earthquakes, From the Choirgirl Hotel, Scarlet's Walk, To Venus and Back), but really loathe a few too (The Beekeeper, Under the Pink, Strange Little Girls). What's on this one?
Has anyone seen the immolation DVD?

The Therion dvd celebrators of becoming is quite incredible, it has 4 dvds worth of material, and 2 audio cd's... a must have for any Therion fan.
