Summary: Best Concert I've EVER Attended!
Review: Suffice to say, I have seen many and varied "rock" concerts in my 41 years. This, however, was MY best! This despite the fact that we had upper balcony seats. The only reason I did not give this DVD a 5 star rating is that there was not enough prolonged footage of the full stage. You miss some of the pleasure of watching the simultaneous interaction of the performers. For example, The green silhouetted AOL-ish type figures, in and amongst the band, during The Current were amazing when seen as a whole, from the audiences point of view. Also, the line of percussionists were mesmerizing to watch as they pummeled their kits. Especially when the parts of a song featured their playing in almost choreographed unison. I am generally not a fan of showy guitarist, but these three guys genuinely and unpretensiously rocked! The overall energy of the entire band was an evening constant and was awe inspiring. We had bought tickets for my Mom & Dad (for his b-day) several months in advance. I new little of the BMG and was not really thrilled to be going the night of this (I believe) the last show of the tour, in Grand Prarie. I was merely expecting some mild "performance art" entertainment and nothing more. We dutifully arrived on time, but the horrendous parking situation caused us to miss the opening acts (Venus Hum & Tracy Bonham). When the show started I immediately began smiling and could tell this was going to be an enchanted evening indeed! When the show concluded, I turned to M'Lady and declared that it was the best concert I had ever seen to date. The DVD captures the show almost perfectly. I do regret that White Rabbit was not able to be included (I wonder why?). I guess I'll have to get the Compex CD for that one. As for Piano Smasher, we at least get to see a lttle smashin' during Baba O'Riley. Overall, highly recommended.

Summary: Complex Rock Tour -- Live
Review: There are many eloquent and descriptive reviews about BMG and The Complex Rock Tour -- I agree with them all. But in the interest of brevity, all I can say is you'll have never seen anything like this before and you'll never see anything like this again. Sometimes, luck lets you live in a period of existence where you see something truly new and truly spectacular and in that moment, the sensation is realized. This is the experience of BMG.

Summary: Brings back memories
Review: This DVD does a great job of capturing The Complex Tour. I saw two shows on the tour, both in LA. The only drawback is that Piano Smasher and White Rabbit had to be cut from the DVD because they didn't come out well on camera.On the techical side of things... The menus are very creative. The 5.1 surround mix samples on side B of the disc sound great. It has both Dolbly Digital and DTS. The concert itself is in stereo and Dolbly Digital. A small complaint is that the DVD is aimed at the standard 4:3 TV viewers. The concert appears to be widescreen, but it is technically just a letterboxed fullscreen, instead of anamorphic widescreen.

Summary: Its Time To Start
Review: This DVD will get "Your Attention" completely. The show has been amazing, having been to several performances of their Complex Rock tour, I have truly been blown away. The amount of energy and music made during the show can barely be captured on film, but this DVD does an amazing job. If you missed the biggest Rock tour of 2003 pick up this DVD, you won't regret it.

Summary: Blue Man Blown Away, Nashville, TN 11-9-2003
Review: This was such an amazing show live that I have already secured the DVD. The Energy, Movements, Presence on stage make these performers a true pleasure to see! You will not be let down at all. You are part of the show and they make sure that you know it! The percussion made a large part of the show but the Blue Men sealed the deal.
Buy It, Watch it, Enjoy it

Summary: A Different Kind of Blue Man Group..
Review: Unlike the show, which contains more comedy stunts, this is actually a concert. Very different music from the "Audio" album....lots of vocals. A great compliment to their NY show, if you've seen it. A great album of you haven't. Venus Hum ROCKS...Tracy Bonham is awesome. PLAY IT REALLY LOUD (in surround sound if you've got it)!!! A percussion masterpiece.

Summary: Great, but not exactly what I expected
Review: Well, since there were no reviews about the DVD before I ordered it, I was sorta disappointed. I have been wanting to get ahold of a BMG video forever, and when this came out, I felt slighted that they had almost no footage of the cool stuff these guys do onstage. If you're planning to buy this DVD, hoping to see all kinds of stuff flying around, shot into the audience, psychidelic stuff, things hanging from the ceiling, and other crazy stuff like they do, be forewarned. This is basically a rock concert. They have some of their tubes and stuff, but really, it's a rock concert. Having said that, it was really great. The performance definitely makes it a worthwhile purchase, and as others have said, the band is top-notch. The DVD mix is okay, but it could have been better. It's obvious at some points that some of the stuff isn't live, like the blue guys playing the drumbone- the playing and sliding doesn't completely match the music, kinda like lip-synching. Also, I'm a big 5.1 surround fan, so I was hoping more would be recorded in 5.1, but only 3 songs on the flipside of the DVD were 5.1, and those were videos, not concert footage. There are also some cool DVD extras- both sides of the DVD have stuff on them.
