Rating: Summary: music or interview DVD???? Review: i bought this DVD thinking. hey live black sabbath. i was wrong. yes it does have like "cuts". but during the live sets they minimize the screen and have an interview with a band member. not the best thing to do. i was very upset when they were singing the first song and all of a sudden the screen went small and they went to an overdubbed interview. nice if you seen them live before and just want the interview about "why we wrote this song" or "how we came up with the name for N.I.B."
Rating: Summary: PLEASE! Re-release this product using another producer Review: He Mr. producer: learn something from the real fans: NEVER interrupt songs in a video again. I can't enjoy it now. Without this it would be a 4 or 5 star DVD. Too bad...
Rating: Summary: black sabbath as they really are, very good dvd ++++ Review: this is a very good dvd as good as live and loud , its a very good insight into the real black sabbath cheers Geoff
Rating: Summary: The flexibility of a VHS Review: I agree, Black Sabbath is a great band, ok. But this DVD is flexible as a VHS. When you are listening and seeing Snowblind, the music STOPS, the show STOPS, and a new scene comes - they start to TALK, to give an interview...you can't turn off the interview AND there is no subtitles ! I don't want to listen the interviews, I want to see the show ! And the same thing happens with almost all other songs. I want a recall !! They should learn with 5-stars Metallica S&M ! What a DVD !
Rating: Summary: Thanks Review: Thank you all people, i was going to buy this DVD but not anymore... if the songs are cut because of the interview, it's just not worth it.
Rating: Summary: Great concert but.... Review: Without a doubt, this the ultimate Black Sabbath concert dvd to own. However there are two things very wrong with this dvd release: Close captioning is mysteriously absent and would have helped considerably during the interview segments. Sadly, there are interviews interrupting the performances. This was really irritating for me as I watched. I would have hoped for a uninterrupted concert and then the interviews at the end. Why this dvd was edited in this manner is unknown but it was clearly the wrong choice. Sound quality and picture are very good and the performances are classic although there are a few songs absent when compared to the 'Reunion' cd.
Rating: Summary: Come to the Sabbath !! Review: I Loved it !! Absolutely loved it !! I have been a Sabbath fan since 1979. This is a must for any true Sabbath fan ! Some will complain about the interviews mixing in with the live performances. But it only enhances the overall product ! Most songs are still in there entirety. And don't forget this movie is a combination of 6 different live shows . So to make it seem like a natural flowing concert is unrealistic anyway. This feels like a real movie , a documentary about our favorite band , not just another non-imaginary rock concert film, but a real movie !!. And besides the interviews are enlightening and humorous too ! Also, even during most of the interviews concert footage is showing in another window on the screen. My only regret is that it isn't any longer ! I love the Epx that Henry Rollins does with the band and all the other extras. This one is a keeper !!
Rating: Summary: Great quality picture NOT A FULL LIVE SHOW Review: I thought that the DVD had great material and the picture quality were outstanding. But I purchased under the impression I was getting a Concert DVD when this wasn't the case. This is an INTERVIEW DISC WITH A CONCERT HACKED INTO IT. What a shame
Rating: Summary: A Black Sabbath Phonatic...... Review: I have been a Black Sabbath music lover from when they first hit the air waves back in 1970. I really enjoy their music, but, I do mean but, the dvd concert of "The Last Supper" was really not up to my expectations. It is good to see all four original members in their middle age glory having a good time on stage. The songs are definately up to par, but I agree with some of the other reviewer reports saying the concert should be just music only and not cut up right in the middle of a song with a story of old times they experienced. The producers should have saved that part for the very end of the concert and not ruin the show. I would have liked to seen Sabbath back in the 70's but unfortunately the old folks wouldn't let me do that so I have to watch the video instead..........
Rating: Summary: What a waste Review: I have purchased every darn thing Black Sabbath possible. When I saw a Black Sabbath DVD I got real excited. I expected what ever they put out to ignore any post 1979 Sabbath as that seems to be the deal they struck to get the toasted Ozzman back. The interviews cutting up the songs add to the irritation. Teach the producers of this DVD lesson and don't buy it! I know you've got to see it, so rent it instead.
