Summary: Perfect Band - Perfect Concert - Imperfect DVD
Review: What can I say except, "I love Boingo!" I have a been a longtime and devoted fan of Danny Elfman and the band. I attended farewell concerts in Las Vegas and Los Angeles (including the shows they filmed for this video release). If anything, this DVD captures the essence of an Oingo Boingo concert, so much so that no Halloween is complete without a viewing. I remember purchasing the two video set when it was released and watching it over and over - to the point that they don't play any longer. But there is a problem with the DVD - They didn't include anything NEW!

Everything from the video is on the DVD. It is all organized and easily found using the special features buttons. You can go to your favorite songs. But there is NOTHING NEW on this latest release. No additional archive footage, no 'Where are they now' sections, nothing to provide me with incentive to run out and add it to my collection (for the record - my wife gave it to me for my birthday).

Is it worth it? Sure. But don't expect anything you didn't already have.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Best Concert Ever - Bad DVD
Review: Why, oh why couldn't this DVD be given anything more? The sound isn't even remixed for the disc. I'm a true fan of the band with tattoos to prove it, but this DVD doesn't justify purchase unless your VHS copy is, like mine - worn out.

Please let there be another version later - Danny Elfman isn't new to the world of DVD. He should see that this one is done again and done right.
