Rating: Summary: Excellent supplement for all BNL fans... Review: After 10 years of music and videos, the Canadian band Barenaked Ladies has finally released a compilation of all of their music videos as well as some concert footage. The commentary by the band couldn't get any more hilarious and the live clips are astounding as the band puts on some of the best shows around. The music videos, often funny, are also a treat because we see how the band evolved and changed from their first hit "Lovers in a Dangerous Time" to their big smash "One Week" to their new single "Thanks that was Fun." And did I mention the commentary is hilarious?
Rating: Summary: A helluva lot of fun to watch Review: After catching BNL on "Conan O'Brien" several years ago, I knew these guys were something special. This DVD is a total treat for fans.As someone who doesn't live in Canada, or have cable access to Much Music, it's awesome to be able to finally see all the videos that were never (to my knowledge) shown here in the U.S., like "Lovers in a Dangerous Time," "Be My Yoko Ono," and "Enid" to name a few. Some of the early videos lack any type of fancy production values, but they're fun to watch and to see the evolution of the band. One great feature: rather than offering only a comment track, you can actually watch the guys *watch* their own videos as they're making comments! The concert footage is also cool...brings back memories of the handful of times I've been lucky enough to see the guys live. I'd highly recommend this DVD to any longtime fan, as well as those that discovered the band with "One Week." There's lots to enjoy here.

Rating: Summary: The Definative Review: All BNL fans past or present need to watch this DVD... The sound quality is excellant and the glimpses into the past are untterly hysterical. The live footage only begins to demonstrate what the Ladies are like in concert.... Although a few of my favs are missing this is all around an excellant DVD and highly worth the price.
Rating: Summary: I never had MTV - poor little me! Review: For all you poor folks who never had cable (including me), you now have a chance to see the BNL video treasure trove. Probably the best moments are explaining who the girl is in "Alternative Girlfriend," why John and Yoko love the Ladies and how "The Old Apartment" got made by a well-connected BNL fan. As usual, the best part (besides seeing the videos, if you haven't) is their remarks- that is, commentary - on what was going on, what the original intention was and how it (mostly) ended up in flames by the time the video got made. These guys don't take themselves seriously, but if you've followed them for the last eleven years like I have- you know that these guys are for real. Though they joke a lot, they've got something to say and aren't afraid to cross Yoko Ono. What more could you ask for?
Rating: Summary: Just what we've been waiting for! Review: Hardcore BNL fans have been waiting for some time for this release (it was rumoured to be available for lass year's holiday season) so it's about time! I haven't received mine yet, but it's going to be a good one. According to the management, this DVD will have, of course, all of the band's videos to date (17 in total) as well as seven clips from recent performances (most likely the amazing Barenaked Circus will be on there in part) as well as video commentary from the guys and a "One Week" karoake sing-along. This video should be as entertaining as their live performances, and at the low price it's a deal.
Rating: Summary: BNL is back Review: Hey out there all you BNL fans this is truley awsome. But there is one problem there are actualy 18 music videos Ballad of Gordon is not fetured on this DVD. But other than that it is pretty good. This truley kicks but then again so did Kevin Hearn. I send him an e-mail and got a reply back(thanx Kevin if you read this). Thanks for reading this Your BNL master Kyle Greer
Rating: Summary: A Must-Have for all BNL fans! Review: I got this DVD for Christmas and I've watched it well over 50 times. It's great! It showcases the Ladies at their best. It has Live footage on it, along with band commentary. It's surely a must-have for all BNL fans. With 17 stunning videos and their performance of "All Their Greatest Hits" from the Roseland Ballroom, it's one of the best music DVDs out there. Plus there's also a ReVoice Studio Karaoke feature for your DVD-Rom. Steve, Ed, Jim, Andy, Tyler, and Kevin did a great job on it!
Rating: Summary: A DVD THAT BNL FANS MUST HAVE!!! Review: I have bought other DVD's of the Barenaked Ladies band and have been disappointed, but this one makes up for all of them. All of their best songs including some video's that I had never seen before are included, plus a few songs from the "Great Guiness Toast" Pay Per View Concert that I watched a couple of years ago. The band comes across on this DVD as they do in concert, fun loving, into what they are doing and an all around great band. I've had this DVD for a week and I have watched part or all or it every day.
Rating: Summary: THE BEST! Review: I love this DVD! It has videos that aren't availible online like: Shoe box (which gets no respect), Lovers in a Dangerous Time, and What a Good Boy. It has live footage like: One Week, Pinch Me, and Brian Wilson. Oh, and a DVD ROM feature I've haven't tried yet, but will. The commentary is both very entertaining and very interesting. BNL talks about little-known facts about each video. I guess my fave video is Shoe box...of lieeeeeeeeees...yeah, sorry. I couldn't ask for anything better!
