8 songs for a live DVD?

"The concert, which i suppose is the main reason to buy the DVD is only 8 SONGS!!! and hoping that their cd release show would be mostly songs from their last record, more than half are from "safety". as far as the "moments suspended in time stuff" it seems like the content was very thrown together to get a dvd released on time or something. the dvd that comes with the special edition of "safety" is much more entertaining. this dvd should've been released with a special edition of the cd or something. i dont know. not enough content to be its own DVD."

Underwhelming Indeed

"I'd agree with what many other reviewers have said: this DVD is pretty underwhelming. You only get half a live show, but then you're only paying half the price of a regular DVD. Anyway, some positives and negatives that come to mind:



Positives

- Half decent audio quality for the live performances (compared to, say, the live performances on the DVD that came with They're Only Chasing Safety).



- This DVD did a good job at getting across the band's energetic live performances and stage presence.



- It had some "making of..." stuff.





Negatives

- Still some strange stuff. I don't know if it's just the guys trying to be funny for the camera, or they really are strange. Throwing the guy "in the air" is the thing that sticks out at the moment (on the last DVD it was the spinning in the chair in the hotel room scene). It just seems so forced, like they're trying a little too hard to make things exciting--either for themselves, or for the viewers.



- Still some gratuitously disgusting stuff. On the last DVD it was primarily the vomit stuff and the odor issues. The vomit stuff makes another appearance here. WHY do bands put this kind of crap on these DVD's? Do you really think that I want to watch you chug milk and vomit it back up? Will you want to watch that 15 years from now? Will you want your kids to watch that?



- Not really that much stuff about the actual members of the band. They did a pretty good job when it came to that type of stuff on the other DVD, so you could argue that it would be redundant to give more personal interviews and such a couple years later. However, considering how short this DVD was, some interviews would have been a nice addition, and there must be 1,001 questions they could have asked them (what gear do they use? who were there influences? etc.)"
