Rating: Summary: 12 out of 12 Videos.... Review: Though there have been rumors that only 10 of the 12 videos will be included in this DVD, the DMB web site store sets the record straight. Starting with the first video, What Would You Say, and running all the way through the current hit, The Space Between, The Videos 1994-2001 provides the chance to experience all of the band's 12 videos with the superior audio and visual quality that only DVD can offer. It is about time that one of the best contemporary jam bands ever finally has a video collection coming out. With so many pop band video compilations out there, this DVD is destined to be a breath of fresh air and a joy for the DMB fan. So Enjoy! I know I will!!
Rating: Summary: 12 DMB Videos Can't Be Wrong Review: Though yet to be released, this offering from the hottest touring band in the country is well timed and packs a punch. Featuring the band's twelve videos this dvd is a journey through their work. Watching high quality video and hearing great sound will make this collection of music videos a must for any fan. Highly recommended.
Rating: Summary: Great For Me Review: Up until a year or so ago, I hadn't really listened to Dave Matthews Band regularly. Now after getting all their albums and hearing most of their tunes, I had to get this DVD to catch up on all the videos. I can't believe how much I've missed out on this great band in the last eight years.Each video had its director's commentary, and three of them (Don't Drink the Water, Stay, I Did It) have short behind the scenes clips. Other than lyrical subtitles and 5.1 sound, these are the only extras, so you may be disappointed if you've memorized all the videos and are expecting in-depth interviews or biographies - there's none of that. If I had been a long time fan, I probably wouldn't give it 5 stars, but since I had only seen a couple videos, it was a real treat for me.
Rating: Summary: Come and relax now . . . Review: Well what can I say about this DVD that hasn't already been said. How about this. I have read three books on the band, own all of their CDs, travelled countless kilometers to see them live and read about them on the net all the time. The fact is I still learned some new stuff about the band during this DVD. The director commentaries are just perfect. The are informative, funand fact-filled. There are some really interesting perspectives on the band as a whole and their approach to shooting a video. The directors are really interesting people as well and it is funny to watch them relate to the wacky antics of Dave. (i.e. “So I just kept saying things to him like, ‘Pretend there are birds flying at your head, the floor is made of Jell-O!’ Hilarious!) The fact you can se the lyrics on the screen with the video is wonderful for my roommate (who has a tendency to sing along really loud with the wrong lyrics)! The lyrics are superimposed in a way that really doesn’t detract from the colour or feel of the video. I hate to admit it but it is kind of a cool feature despite the fact my initial reaction was, “Who would need lyrics to Dave songs?” The behind the scenes extras are kind of cool, one of them is rather weak. I won’t say which one in case you feel differently, but you could really tell it was shot before DVDs really carried features like it! I (like many Dave fans) am not too thrilled by the song I Did It, but the video and making of feature are really enjoyable to watch. All in all a good buy! However, I will have to rate it as a 4.9999999999999997 because my girlfriend found a typo in the lyrics within the first 20 minutes. However, we played it for almost three hours the first night we had it and we will be watching it over and over and over no doubt. So if you are a fan of movies, videos and the Dave Matthews Band check it out! It has a little bit of all of these in it along with a lot of fun mixed in!
Rating: Summary: Of Course there is a demand Review: Who are we kidding? Dave Matthews Band has an infinite number of fans, just look as his ticket sales, especially for last year's summer tour. MTV and VH1 have become networks that no longer show videos like in the past but rather have programming that sometimes doesn't even concern music. When the videos are played it is a shortened version and only of the most popular song (i.e. The Space Between, I Did It). This DVD is an excellent opportunity for us fans to view the band when we want to, see the videos we may have only seen once or twice and if you want a concert, buy Listener Supported on DVD. As for the money, look at all of the charitable causes that the band contributes to and works for, hello the Farm Aid concert...Next time do your research before you put down DMB, the DVD is a great resource for fans everywhere to see Dave when they feel like it, and not for a bad price either.
