A Must-See DVD

"I saw Gigantour in Boston, and was absolutely blown away by almost all the bands. Dream Theater is one of my favorite bands, as is Symphony X (who did not play in Boston). If you love Symphony X, this is your only chance to see them on DVD.
If you did not get to see this tour, or if you were unlucky like me and didn't get to see all the bands, you MUST get this DVD![...]"
Nice...but we all expected more

"I agree with the reviewers here...With the pedigree of bands playing here,and the dvds they have released before ( rude awakening,live at the budokan etc.) I felt a bit shortchanged by what i got here,production and performance wise...Bobafuk n Dry kill shouldnt even be here.The other bands are good,but I wish Deth had done the extended version of She wolf and we had some more songs from DT and Nevermore.Also,considering this tour was close to 4 months long,the potential for a good chunk of Bonus material was immense...like band interviews and Gear talk ( check out the ARCH ENEMY DVD..I bought it along with this and it smokes )...The only good thing on the bonus disc here is the cemetary gates cover."
Unorthodox Metal Line-up

"With my all time favorite Megadeth, Fear Factory and progressive metalist Dream Theater in tow, you can't be wrong. In this DVD, I became an instant fan of Nevermore and Symphony X. Hope that they will be releasing thier own DVD soon. All in all, this is worth watching except I just can't bear watching Bobaflex...Anyway, I will be waiting for Gigantour 2 since all the lineup is awesome with Arch Enemy, Opeth and Soulfly....Hope that it will be realsed soon....
For now, enjoy the first offering by Dave Mustaine....."
A must have for metal fans

"Highly recommended! A fun and entertaining DVD from beginning to end.
Disc one has full length live performances from many of the tour's bands. Highlights include three classic Megadeth tunes, with pyro effects included, rare Dream Theater tracks, Fear Factory debuting brand new material, and high speed versions of two newer Nevermore songs along with the best singles from the second stage bands. It's a blast to watch the rabid fans in action in the crowd.
Disc Two is packed with interviews, back stage footage, praks, a Pyro lesson, tour bus tours, and a tribute to Dimebag Darrell, and the Gigantour softball game featuring commentary by Mike Piazza."
