Summary: Alright....but Mudvayne got ALOT better live
Review: I saw Mudvayne at this year's Summer Sanitarium and was a bit skeptical because I had heard some of their live stuff before (simply observe this DVD or the Ozzfest 2001 cd). Chad's voice just wasn't at it's best. But I guess he got smart and started taking care of it, and took vocal classes to make sure he wouldn't lose his voice during their shows. Boy did it ever pay off, because even for the openers (which is total bullsh--) they blew the place away. This DVD does not do them much justice. First off, the video quality is shockingly bad for DVD, and of course, Chad's vox where nowhere near as great as they normally are. Musically, I'd give it about an 8/10 because there are a few f-ckups and moments of annoying feedback but flaws aside, Mudvayne play their @$$es off here. Just be sure not to let this ruin your plans to see them live in the future. I promise you they rule. Keep heavy music alive!

Summary: They rock , the DVD doesnt
Review: I thought that the quality was horrible, only if you are a true fan buy this. The music quality was ok, the vocals are harder to hear. Other than that it was a good show.

Summary: i proudly support this band
Review: im a big fan of Mudvayne. thats why i bought this video for my viewing pleasure. one of the things i kind of disliked was the picture quality. it looks kind of messed up. as if some cameraman forgot to plug in the "special cable" on his camera for better viewing. another defect part of the video is the audiobility on the song "Under My Skin" the guitar part sounds too loud (messed up). if u compare that song of the video and the song on the actual album you can see what im talking about. but overall everything of the video its ok.i believe Mudvayne are going to be the kings of true pioneers of heavy music for this next millennium. i wish lots of good luck for this band because they got great musical talent.

Summary: mudvayne
Review: Its okay. The video quality is dodgy and the sound EQ is not great but if you consider it is live, then it is acceptable. i recommend it to anyone who likes MuDvAyNe. Ryknow and Kurrg rule!

Summary: wow, this was basically my first concert next to ac/dc
Review: ive never had the expireance of seeing these guys live but this dvd basically puts into perspective of what i would see, all i can say is "GOD D AMN THESE GUYS KICK ..." kud has a amazing voice,and gurrg has extreme talent at guitar considering he came up with the guitar parts for at least 5 of the songs in one night, rhino plays slap base like hell, and spagg is a pretty good drummer, Death blooms is a great live track ( the music video kicks ... too!) and so are all the rest of the songs, you also get to see what these guys look like without all the makeup! this is a great buy and fun for the whole family!

Summary: WOW
Review: Let me start off by saying that the DVD is damn good. I unfortunately live in an area where we are lucky if we can get large scale tours. And I've always wanted to see MuDvAyNe live. So once I saw this DVD I knew I had better get it. I was surprised to see what was on the DVD, not including the concert, (and each member without their face paint). I loved the additional footage ("Speech, entirely optional."). I was very happy to see the "Death Blooms" video on it, seeing how MTV WILL NOT play it. Even though the video is censored and is shortened for time, I guess, it is still one that I watch everytime. Now onto the concert. If you like the songs off "L.D. 50" you'll like this DVD. Even though "everything and Nothing" is not done on this DVD, it's still worth every penny. "Dig", "Severed", "Cradle", etc. All sweet songs done live. This is a must have for any metal, MuDvAyNe, or concert fan.

Summary: A fun DVD, but recorded at the wrong time
Review: Mudvayne made this more than just a live DVD, but a spoof film type deal too. It is a lot of fun to watch the dumb stuff they do, but there is a slight problem with the live show. While they put a lot into the show, they recorded it well into the touring cycle, and they were worn out. Chad's voice was shot throughout the Ozzfest tour (time period when this was recorded). If you saw them before then or after it, his voice sounds SO much better. I think they could have arranged the setlist a bit better (Dig in the middle of the show??? the crowd was more or less dead after they played Dig). But still, this is a high quality and great looking DVD. If you like Mudvayne, it is a must-have.

Summary: Definately an L.D. you should take...
Review: Mudvayne serves up an impressive live concert in Peoria, IL and an equally impressive DVD to go along with it. The first thing I took special notice to was the sound quality, since previous reviews had said that it wasn't up to par. I must disagree. True, the lyrics are hard to understand... but go to a Mudvayne concert. It's like that. So, in a way, the sound quality creates an accurate concert experience. This DVD has a lot of high points, including the awesome assortment of songs (though I'm upset that one of my favorites, "Everything and Nothing" was not played) and the overall impressive presence that Mudvayne brings to stage. Plus, between songs, viewers are given an insight into the lives of the heavy metal artists outside the stage. True, the footage is of the band crusing the town and getting food, but for someone like me that hasn't seen them without makeup, it was nice to see. In particular, I like the clips that show the band sitting down having a civilized conversation right before a concert clip that has Kud utter the F word about six times in the span of ten seconds. It's pretty amazing to see the transformation. However, this DVD only got four stars for a reason. I'm not one to gripe about meaningless things, but some of the camera angles during the concert are rather annoying. On some of the far away shots, there is a light facing the camera and thus, the entire band becomes blocked. Then, there are the overhead views that just don't do the band justice, except for the one shown at the beginning during the -1 performance when Kud is standing on a platform above the drum set. There are a few more, including the one from between the amps and the one that looks like it's on the end of Ryknow's bass guitar that makes it look like a cheap B movie. It's not really anything particular, I just don't care for camera angles that don't quite help the band out. Then, there are the lack of extra features. The best one of the ones given to us is the "Death Blooms" video that claims to be a Director's Cut, but I cannot find a difference between the one I downloaded and the one on the DVD (If anyone is more of a fan that me and can find it, please tell me). I thought the backstage/behind the scenes clips would be at the concert, but are instead shots from a moving vehicle following the band in their car as they talk about things of hardly any interest. It was just a disappointment, that's all. After all that, there's only one question you must have on your mind: Should I buy the DVD? Yes. It's a great thing to add to your collection, especially if you have Static-X's "Where the Hell Are We..." DVD like I do. It's a tremendous concert that is very well captured. If you haven't been able to see Mudvayne live, purchase this DVD and see what you're missing.

Summary: It's pretty good...
Review: The DVD was pretty good, although it could have been better. The film quality was a little off and the lyrics were hard to understand at certain points. All and all I gave it a 4.

Summary: Mudvayne.(L)ive (D)osage 50,in Peoria IL
Review: This DVD consists of the band playing all the songs on all L.D 50 except for Everything and Nothing(which is a good song.)I wonder why they would leave it out.Since i'm to young to go to one of their concerts I bought this DVD instead.-1 is the best performance because Chad does the vocals on top of a wobly tower over the drum set.Nothing to Gein is another amazing performance because Chad curls up in a ball and yells "soiled" on the ground.
Dig aswell because Chad manages to yell the verses 10 times
faster than he was able on the album.Also,the song severed which I did not like that much on the album was amazing live.You also get to see them without their makeup.Chad looks about a million times cooler than he does in the "world so cold" video.The guitarist looks 500 thousand times cooler than he does in the
"world so cold" video.The bassist looks 10 thousand times cooler
than he does in the world so cold video,but,Spag looks cooler
in the L.D 50 booklet than he does in this. Warning this DVD has
a huge amount of swearing.Also,you get the "Death Blooms" video.
I also would of liked the "DIG" video, but, oh well.Best performances:Dig,Prod,Nothing to gein,-1,Severed.
