Rating: Summary: New Godsmack DVD audio...not so good Review: I just paid full retail price for this disc because I didn't think I could find it at Best Buy or Wal-Mart and didn't want to wait for it if I ordered online...$...=full retail price. That's all fine and good if the disc is good. For the most part, this new Godsmack DVD is very good. It's got an anamorphic widescreen transfer that is very good, and the performance just kicks A$$. The audio, on the other hand, is somewhat lacking IMO. Previous to putting the disc in, my thoughts were along the line of, "God...this is going to be incredible!" I'm a big Godsmack fan. My initial thought after the first minute of the concert was, "What the hell is wrong here?!" I mean, the thing is in DTS as well as DD, but it was just weak as all hell. Very little to nothing came out of the center channel, and my sub damn near drowned everything else out. I turned the sub down and checked to see if my center channel was connected. It was. I just wasn't getting a significant amount of volume at all. I switched between DTS and DD several times to see if there was any difference between the two. I prefered the DD mostly because it was louder than the DTS track. In the end, though, I just forced the audio to go through the analog outputs into my Denon 2801 and played it in 5 channel stereo. It sounded better to me than the other two, plus it was significantly louder. I guess my main qualm with this disc was that it just wasn't loud. I got little volume from my HT system, which, again IMHO, is very respectable (U2, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Metallica, Elton John, the Eagles...all their live DVDs sound incredible on it), and I mean...THIS IS GODSMACK!!! It's supposed to be loud. I'm not trying to persuade anyone not to get the disc because believe me, the performance is awesome, and any Godsmack fan will enjoy it. I just wanted to post my thoughts on the audio for people who haven't bought the disc yet. Sorry to ramble on so long.
Rating: Summary: Best concert video ever Review: I just recieved this DVD in the mail today and I've already watched it twice. This live DVD by Godsmack is ubelievable, it is just like being at one of their concerts without the mosh. As for the people who been giving this DVD lower ratings then what it is worth because of sound, you have to think that is LIVE. Even if you like Godsmack only a litte this DVD will rock your world and make you want to go see them in concert. There is only one thing to say about this DVD; The best concert DVD/video ever. I especially love the "whatever" version they have on here. Other music videos I have watch such as the Linkin Park one don't come close to the same intensity as this.
Rating: Summary: This DVD lacks Music videos!!! Review: I know this DVD is a live one but since it is there only offical DVD I think it should have had all there Music videos on the DVD. I loved the linkin Park dvd how it had mostly interviews and MUSIC VIDEOS. BUT even though it does not have music videos it's one hell of an intesive adrenaline packed thrill ride. I definitly would require this DVD for my colection.
Rating: Summary: Godsmack - LIVE Review: I read all the previous reviews for this DVD and decided to purchase it. I am definetly into quality but this DVD is not. The music is good if you're in to this kind of thing. But the sound was aweful. I utilize a high end home audio system w/DTS, THX and any other format you can think of. The DTS channel on this DVD is weak and center channel sound level vocals are very low. I would not recommend this for a high quality sound system.
Rating: Summary: Very dissapointing Review: I recently got my hands on a copy of this DVD and I am extremely disappointed after acquiring it. I have an extensive music DVD collection and this is by far the worst sounding DVD I have. The sound is too low, particularly the vocals. I have music DVD's where the footage was taken in the 60's, 70's, 80's, or the early 90's and each of these DVD's have a much better sound than this DVD. I feel there is absolutely no excuse for this considering it was made when all this technology was available to them.
The band seems to be putting on a good show, but I found it impossible to enjoy it because of the sound.
Rating: Summary: Kept Me Entertained! Review: I saw Godsmack a few years ago, probably mid-2001, and I enjoyed myself at the concert, and while nothing's ever as good as the real thing, a DVD comex close. It's got all their hits ("Awake", "Greed", "Voodoo", "Keep Away", "Whatever") as well as some of my favorites ("Trippin'", Sick of Life", "Bad Religion") to keep me (and more than likely YOU) entertained. They always give a good performance and Sully does a good taking with the crowd during and in between songs. The concert is 80 minutes, so it's well worth the price. I didn't even think about this until I read the other reviews, but a lot of people complain about the sound quality. As I said, I wouldn't have even thought about the sound quality because it sounded good to me, but then again, I was listening to it on headphones on the computer. But my only complaint is that there are absolutely no extras. But hey, the concert's the main point, and you get one hell of a main point.

Rating: Summary: I agreee about the audio quality but this DVD still rocked Review: I'm giving this DVD 4 stars because the audio quality isnt sharp enough for me to get a true sense of how they sounded at that concert however, the intensity and stage presence that Sully showed here made up for that. I really loved all the songs they played here, even the less known ones which by the way sounded better then their radio hits. This band gets classified as having a similiar style to Alison & chains but, I think Godsmacks music is more catchy and powerfull. One thing I noticed when watching this DVD is their stage setting suggests an ancient mystical environment which made me realize that this is what their sound is inspired by. This is probably why thier sound is not as cheezy as most of the so called hard rock and metal acts we see these days. Thats why I dig it
