Summary: Great concert, excellent message.
Review: This is an awesome DVD! The concert footage is very intense. Zack, Tom & co. are very into it, as are the fans. Tom Morello really tore it up on guitar. The documentary footage by Zack sparked a lot of questions and inspired me to look into some of the problems brought up. I really enjoyed them as well as the interviews with Marco and Noam Chomsky.

Summary: Almost perfect!!
Review: The reason for the one star missing is because of some of the big swear words in most of the songs being muffled. That was rather stupid, this is a Rage concert, swearing is a part of their music!! At least they didn't muffle Killing In The Name. Rage's performance was excellent, the deleted swears partly killed the experience. Overall, this was a good DVD. I was also hoping Zapata's Blood would be like the one on the self-titled Rage DVD but it was too quiet sounding. If you're willing to ignore the muffled swearing, get this DVD.

Summary: RATM's lives on!
Review: One day in Mexico City a concert broke out. Rick Rubin caught it on DVD. RATM supplied the live performance amongst five thousand lucky ticket holders. Strong lyrics. Strong riffs. The Battle of Mexico City DVD captures Tom Morello's guitar wizardry and Zack de la Rocha 's lyrical stage presence during a live concert. They were made to play together. (In concert) The DVD shows RATM's musical and political force at the height of their popularity. The Mexican government policies are secondary to the music of RATM on this day. All in attendance were on one page. They were together, fighting for a voice to be heard through a band's live performance. The Rage lyrics seem to fit word for word. "Know your enemy" and "Killing in the name " with "pocket full of shells..." comes to mind. One drawback, the DVD is edited for strong language. What, at Rage concert? WTF, get the unedited version, if one exists. The five thousand in attendance were jammed packed in a concert warehouse. This concert takes place in the face of the Mexican government. No one was going to stop it. No one did. Even if you are not a rock and rap lover, this DVD should be in everyone's musical collection. This part of musical history should not be missed. RATM is no more. All RATM fans can only hope for a reunion. RATM fans will never let the music die. This DVD also includes Zack 's interview with Noam Chomsky, Professor of Linguistics at MIT. Zack calls him " most quoted intellectual alive today." The DVD features a full-length concert and video journal of the trip in Mexico City.

Summary: An ok DVD
Review: Rage Against The Machine are one of the BEST live bands ever.But there are many flaws to this DVD.The live concert is great,but why did they include the dreadful "Zapata's Blood" instead of "Bullet In The Head"?Also,every song with cussing except "Killing In The Name" is edited.The worst thing is the slo-mo shots.Zach and Tom are known for their stage presences,why put in slo-mo?Also,the docunmentary footage is in between songs.Why couldn't they have had this has a bonus feature?Also,there is absolutely NO connection between the band and audience.Zach talks to the crowd a lot on the other 2 DVDS,why not this one?The intro sucks to.They should should have shown the scene they describe on the back of the box.This is an OK DVD,but the other 2 are much better.The 3 stars is for the live show alone.Star with the Grand Olypmpic show,then get the self-titled one,then this.

Summary: Great performance, bad DVD...
Review: Come on, why can't somebody figure out how to make a good DVD by now. The sound is lacking and hollow and the visuals are pretty banal. I recommend it, but only to Rage fans. It probably won't be a big hit.
Rating:
Summary: A must buy for any RATM fan
Review: Words can't describe how great this DVD is. One of the best bands of the 90s, RATM know how to rock. The documentaries in between the songs are cool too, and very informative. This DVD helps get some good insight into the band and the way they think. The songs are awesome too- I can't pick a favourite.

Summary: The video has a better picture by far
Review: Rage Against The Machine is the best band, probably ever, they have so much talent. If you've never seen them live, then you owe it to yourself to, even if its just with this dvd. People have mentioned the documentary foorage being unnecesary, but its so great to see what they;re doing this concert for. Its worth at least this proce just to see Tom Morellow play though. And teh censorship can be turned off if you turn on the closed captioning, at least that swhat worked for me. Any rage fan must have this dvd.
