Rating: Summary: Nice Video Collection. Review: I am not a huge fan of Dave Mathews Band, but I like their music video "I did it", plus this DVD was on sale, so I bought it. Their music videos are well-done, I really like the style. One great bonus feature of this DVD is, it has lyrics subtitles! I own a few music DVDs, and this is the only one that has it. I'm glad that I bought it.
Rating: Summary: Dave Matthews Video Rocks Review: I bought this video for my wife for Christmas and she loves it. We both love the Dave Matthews Band and have all of their CD's but this is great to watch the video's that we have not seen for the longest time. The making of the videos is nice to watch although it does not have one for every video. The 5.1 sounds great on the home theater system, but if you do not have 5.1 capabilities the stereo sounds great too. You can also turn the lyrics on or off while watching the video's. Overall a great video!
Rating: Summary: Expected much more. Review: I expected much more of this DVD. It is only a compilation of the Videos. Not enouth extras.
Rating: Summary: Excellent collection of videos Review: I found that in some cases ("I Did It", in particular), I ended up like the song more after I had seen the video for it. If you think anything DMB-related is worth its water, then this is definitely something to invest $X in.From the truly excellent videos ("Crush", "The Space Between") to the entertaining ("Too Much", "Stay", "I Did It") to the downright weird ("Crash", "Don't Drink the Water") and everywhere in between, this video provides a good viewer experience from front to back.
Rating: Summary: More than just the videos Review: I have the DMB CDs, but not having cable, I decided to see what their music videos are like. What a great purchase. There's not much to say about the videos themselves other than they are well done. The cool thing is what they've added to the DVD. For instance: - Press "Subtitle" on your remote and you get the lyrics on the bottom of the sceen as the video plays. Nice touch. - Commentaries... once you get curious or want a change of pace, you can get the video with the makers talking over the top. Kind of interesting, but I only want to go through it once... the music is better than the talking! - Special features ... They go into detail of how they made a couple of the videos. The "I Did It" feature is the most interesting. One thing I didn't realize when I bought the DVD, turning off the TV and letting it play through the stereo system is, in effect, playing a DMB "greatest hits" album. That's nice too. One more thing, if you are an DMB fan, this is worth the money. However, I met someone yesterday who had never heard of Dave Matthews Band. Don't ask ME how that happened. Anyway, she saw some of the disc with me and is now a fan too. So, for fans and soon-to-be-fans, this is definitely a good buy.

Rating: Summary: Good DVD (if it works!) Review: I recently purchased this DVD and was enjoying it thouroughly until i got to the "Don't Drink the Water" Video. Near the end of the video, the DVD froze and there was nothing i could do to get it to continue playing short of turning it off and starting over. I figured this might be a fluke so i tried it again and it did the same thing on both of my other two DVD players. The content in the dvd is excellent, but it is up to you to decide if you can put up with the technical problems.
Rating: Summary: Videos? Hm... ok Review: I tend to agree that they want to milk every last cent out of us. However, being such a huge fan I would probably buy a DVD of Dave burping the ABCs. Normally this is where I would have said, "WHY NOT A LIVE CONCERT??" However, the band has redeemed themselves by offering the 12-19-1998 show in Chicago on DVD. This is due out October 23. This show is simply amazing... the opener of Last Stop gives me chills! Add Vic Wooten, Maceo Parker and Tim Reynolds to the mix and you've got perfection. I've had this show on MPG for about a year and I promise you are going to be blown away.
Rating: Summary: I was apprehensive, but it is a good DVD Review: I was a little nervous about this DVD at first, but it is worth the purchase. The videos bring out the spirit of the songs and the optional lyrics on-screen are nice as well. It helps you to contemplate the poetry and meaning of the lyrics. The director commentaries are nice as well and it gives some behind the scenes info on the band as well. I would recommend this DVD to any Dave fan.
