"As the proud owner of the oversized, hideous form in the front row of this concert, I can tell you that it came off well both live and on video. While previously released versions (on PPV and in movie theaters) of this concert showcased an abbreviated setlist, this is going to be the most complete version of the concert you can find, with only a miniscule amount of songs (3) missing from the original concert setlist (one of which wasn't even taped in the first place).This disc will also house a trailer for the upcoming documentary that details the struggles they went through as they split with their former label...this is also the reason for the title of this review, as that one will undoubtedly be the most interesting video release the band puts out to date.On a strictly concert-video level, this DVD blows away the two previous concert video releases (Live At The Fillmore & Live From Albertane) in both quality and quantity. This is one of those things that even non-fans may be impressed with in small doses. The low price on this DVD pushes it from 4 stars to 5 stars. An excellent buy."
The Best Concert ever!

"This concert was shown for one night only in Regal Theaters on April 19th. I went to see it and it was just incredible. I went to four acoustic Hanson shows since last year, and this film brought back incredible memories.If you haven't heard any Hanson songs since "MMMBop", you may want to check out this DVD. They're not 11, 13, and 16 anymore."
Hanson doubters, look no further...

"If this concert DVD doesn't change minds about Hanson, I don't know what will. The guys are in top form on the last show of their Acoustic '03 tour. My husband and I were at this show, enjoying it chaos-free from the balcony. The songs rocked even harder than I remembered...just try to sit still during "Rip It Up," I dare you!
The bonus features of the behind-the-scenes are nice; the whole "oops, we forgot our in-ear monitors" was a wonderful Spinal Tap moment, and the Strong Enough to Break documentary trailer (doc coming in 2005) makes me want to see that thing tomorrow."

"Show them this dvd. I showed it to a friend of mine who was visiting for a weekend, and it took all of three songs to go from "Hanson? the 'MmmBop' kids?" to "okay, I need to buy this." It honestly doesn't hurt that the video showcases the fact that these are three astonishingly good-looking young men, but it also perfectly showcases the fact that they are three astonishingly accomplished musicians. Go beyond the tight album tracks and you get covers of others' (and their own!) music that is just infectious and fun, like the amazing "Ain't No Sunshine," the ever-infectious "MmmBop," the breathtakingly harmonious "Teach Your Children," and the tear-you-out-of-your-seat "Rip It Up." This is a rare concert dvd where even the 'weaker' tracks are better than most other bands' best material, so, yeah, if you're looking to pimp Hanson to your friends or want to try them out for the first time yourself, pick this one up."
