"This is a pretty okay DVD. I agree with what someone said that the lack of varity is somewhat annoying. But if you want to see your band played two or three times it's pretty good for that.
What i found annoying was the fact they felt the need to talk on and on about the warped tour, how it's set up, what goes on, etc etc. Okay, guys could we put that in perhaps the special features section, because i really don't care right now and just want to watch Flogging Molly. That's my biggest complaint about it. But it has some cool short interviews with people like NOFX and Reel big Fish and people. Plus the bus tour with Flogging molly was pretty cool. But buy it if your a big warped tour fan, or if you went that year and want to relive it"

"If you like the Warped Tour this DVD is a must have. The qaulity is excellent, and the sound is great. I also liked all the behind the the scenes footage, the interviews, and one band showed what life is like on a tour bus, I thought that was pretty cool. I gave the DVD 4 stars because bands like Lagwagon, NOFX, and No Use For a Name only got 1 video and it seemed like every other band got 2. I don't think it's fair that a band like Something Corporate should get 2 videos and great bands that have been around for a while, like the 3 I mentioned before only got 1. I also thought they could have added in a few more bands. There are a couple from the tour that I liked that weren't on the DVD. Other than those 2 things I'd say this DVD is well above average and is definatly worth the money."
Warped tour captured perfectly!

"Ok, I bought this DVD without even think about it, I just saw it, grabbed it and bought it. I mean, no matter what the band line up is, if you ever attended one Warped Tour, you know it changes you, it's been one of the highlights of my life. So I didn't find anything wrong with having a little souvenir of this amazing show in my house; The problem is, with a tour that have been going on for more than five years now, why just put out footage of the 2002 tour, instead of a best of footage? Acts like Rancid, Pennywise, Deftones, and AFI that are Warped Tour classics, are missings, while weak new comers like Something Corporate, Ozma and The Used are put in replace. I would have expect that weird moments, like the time Weezer reunited to play the show, or when best-sellers like 311 or Alien Ant Farm played, where going to be highlighted on the DVD, but those moments are nowhere to be found. At least they didn't forget legends like The Bosstones, NoFx and Bad Religion. Also great bands like the punk rebels Anti-Flag, the rastafarians Morgan Heritage are worth the price, and you found out that New Found Glory don't play so bad after all. Anyway, if you want to revive the moment, this DVD is for you."

"In my opinion warped tour is the greatest tour to ever have happened. I've gone for 7 years now and every year it just gets better. This DVD does a good job showcasing the energy and the vibe that goes on at these shows. With live performances, interviews and the extreme sports this is a must have for anyone who has or wants to go to a Warped Tour ever. It's simply amazing, I'm going to watch it every day. New Found Glory, The Used and Mxpx all have live performances on here, as well as many other bands. Check it out."
