Summary: A most joyful noise!
Review: As a GBS fan living in the southern U.S., I have never had the chance to see the band live, or see any of their videos. Until now. I really couldn't be more satisfied with this DVD. The live show is a lot of fun, and the guys sound great. The videos, while lacking the big-budget polish of more commercially successful bands, are rather charming for that very reason. And the karaoke version of Mari Mac finally sheds some light on some of the more hard-to-understand lyrics that I personally have wondered about for years!Throw in an informative, mostly light-hearted documentary and some home movie footage, and you've got the ultimate Great Big Sea package. If I have one very minor complaint, it's that the menu doesn't offer you the choice of playing all the music videos at once; you have to select each one individually. But it's a small nit to pick when faced with such a delightful compilation of all things Great Big Sea. Order it now, and help spread the word about this terrific band!

Summary: Almost as good as their live shows
Review: Great Big Sea is not truly appreciated unless you see them live but this DVD is the next best thing. I would almost recommend it as a an excercise video because you can't be still while watching. You just want to dance and sing along. I'd heard a few of their CDs but never seen them live at the time I bought this DVD and now I feel like I am watching old friends. Their musicality is remarkable and this brings that out as they do acoustic and electrified sets as well as a capella harmony. Unless you're an old fuddy duddy that doesn't want to smile, get this, you won't regret it

Summary: Get Your Fix, Get Your Kicks
Review: If it is possible to wear out a CD, I'm well on the way. This DVD has it all, the live concert, videos, interviews with the band, and 'home' movies. The concert gives you an idea what to expect when you actually get to a Great Big Sea show (wear comfortable shoes and roomy clothes). At GBS shows you don't sit in your seat, you only rent it until GBS hits the stage then you take to your feet for the entire concert. I've bought several copies of the DVD to initiate friends and family--and every single person was instantly hooked, although I had to explain Donkey Riding was not about riding donkeys, and define some unusual Newfoundland expressions in other song lyrics. While you are waiting for the guys to have show anywhere near you, this is your fix until you have the honor to see them live. GBS puts on the best show I have ever seen.

Review: Living in Connecticut it's a little hard to see GBS in person. This DVD takes care of this need a little. Music quality is good, the extras are good, nice mix of audience and band. It's interesting to see how young everyone looks in the old videos and how "mature" they look now. If you are a fan of GBS, GET THE DVD!
