Rating: Summary: A great DVD, great sound. Review: If you're an Echo and the Bunnymen fan, you no doubt are very interested in this DVD. Well, I love the band, and they sound as good as ever here. And I love concert DVDs (many good ones out there), but trust me, this one is absolutely awful. The rapid-fire editing that others here have complained about is the problem, not to mention the ridiculous overlays that supposedly add "atmosphere." The people who made this DVD should be taken out and shot. And the band should have the privilege of pulling the trigger.

Rating: Summary: Excellent music... terrible editing! Review: Its too bad one of the best bands ever to come out of England has had there live performance butchered by truely amateur editing. I have seen Echo & The Bunnymen live, (in person) six times over the years. They put on an amazing show, but this dvd is unbearable to watch. The overly rapid cutting of the camera angles throughout the entire performance never gives you a good look at the images. Where the editing gets an F the music makes up for it with an A. I do wish they would have included "Do it clean" on the song selection, because it is one of Echo & The Bunnymen's most energetic live songs. Go Echo! Paul K. KonaSpy@aol

Rating: Summary: A great DVD, great sound. Review: This DVD is well worth the money. I've seen them live and actually walked out because the performance was very dismal and the sound was terrrible. Florida 1985, what was I expecting? This DVD has great sound and shows the band as best as can be expected. The layering of images does get annoying but does stays true to the their psychadelic style. They really manged to get a great recording from a live performance. As for the Tom Petty comment, you really should get your hearing checked, LOL.
Rating: Summary: Good music, annoying video Review: This dvd's video verges on being unwatchable. The effects of superimposing something over the 'live' picture is so badly done and appears in the whole thing.Video aside, the music is good, although the DTS output is a little quiet.
Rating: Summary: A must for all Echo fans Review: You would be better off taking a picture of the band, pasting it on the wall and playing the Liverpool CD. The DVD could have been great, but the camera work is annoying. It switches every half second and you never get a good look at Ian, or Will. There are 1980's effects too. It makes no sense to buy the DVD. Just get the CD for the music, which by the way, is 5 stars.
