Summary: Godsmack Deliver Live...Duh!
Review: ...Like it's a big shock to hear that a live Godsmack concert video rocks the proverbial house. Opening up with the head-banging "Awake," heavy-hitting Godsmack and their legion of hometown fans, give you a glimpse of what's in store; a cool concert that showcases the band's gimmick free sound and Sully Erna's infectious charisma and growling. Given their reputation as a "caveman band," it's a mild surprise this show is not at all boring and contains many sections that require multiple viewing; see Erna's mock drum battle during "Get Up, Get Out." Of course, Erna is the main attraction and has no problem holding the camera's and listener's attention; whether it's on the subdued "Voodoo" or the double-crossing rant "Greed." The hometown audience's enthusiasm comes in handy on the participation bits in "Keep Away" and "Whatever," where Erna incites the crowd to curse at him in unison...which if course they do at deafening volume. No tricks, no B.S., just hardcore riffs and attitude. A summarization the band would no doubt find flattering.

Summary: This DVD rocks hard!!!!
Review: Awesome DVD! The sound is as real as it comes! It's not through the soundboard, like most other concerts, where the vocals are louder than the music. Everyone knows thats never the case at a live show. The sound is pure, straight from the arena, and you can feel the power of the music. For every tool complaining, don't be so attatched to your overpriced sound systems and spoiled by soundboard recordings!....

Summary: Great band...Great Concert...Inadequate DVD
Review: Godsmack is one of the best bands of all time. I was really excited when I received this DVD. My partner and I loved the concert; but we were disappointed that there were no special features. Wha' happened? I thought we'd see some interview segments, music videos, and maybe some shopping opportunities...but all we got was the concert. It's enough and it's excellent...but it could have been more.

Summary: Pretty Good Concert
Review: Godsmack is overall a hybrid hard rock band. Why do I use the word hybrid? Because it is obvious they are disciples of Alice In Chains, that is too obvious, but they also are heavily influenced by other bands and that we will discuss later. Overall this is an entertaining concert on video. Entertaining because the set looks medieval and artistic, the camera work isn't that bad, it has good panning, epic shots and excellent close-ups. However, I can't say the same praise for the music. A lot of Godsmack's music sounds repetitive and just like loud guitar riffs with some yelling. They copy Alice In Chains to perfection in some areas. But yet they are still good performers. Singer Sully Erna shows he is a good guitar-player and pulls off one excellent drum solo that shows he is an excellent percussionist. In his leather pants and shamanistic ways I seriously wonder if he is not so much a disciple of Alice In Chains as he might be of Jim Morrison and The Doors. Some of the songs are really good like the Eastern, hypnotic "Spiral" and the equally evocative "Voodoo." These are the two best songs here. Others like "Vampires" seem like sonic time killers. But they put on a good show above all. Erna never seems boring, the editing is good and artistic. Nothing important is ever missed on the screen (including a few flashing fans). Godsmack is not one of the great bands of our time, they are however, a good hard rock band that can pump-up the house and keep us entertained, at least for a while.

Summary: Video OK, Sound [stunk]
Review: I cannot believe they released this DVD, with this sound track. It sounds as if they are playing in a garbage can! I was really looking foreward to this DVD, when a freind said wait I'll loan you mine because I had to hear how bad it sounded, before I decided to go out and purchase my own. Man I am glad I did, it is the worst sounding DVD, concert or otherwise I have ever heard. Shame on you Image Entertainment.

Summary: godsmack dvd
Review: I feel the sound quality is very good, except for one thing. The vocals are too low. When Sully talks to the crowd you can hardly hear him over the cheering crowd. If the vocals were louder this would be one of the best live concerts ever shot. However, because of the low vocals Its just above average and this is coming from a huge godsmack fan, by the way the new DVD called changes, kicks this dvd ass. Except that the live songs are broken up with interviews in between. I would highly recommend changes over this dvd, only because the low vocals.
