Summary: Lenny Live - Dead in the Water
Review: I am a big fan of Lenny's studio output... I have all of his CDs. I am also a big fan of live performances, where the performer usually has the chance to stretch out and expand on the original songs.

Unfortunately, Lenny doesn't stretch out live, he simply turns up the volume... on everything. The result is one massive wall of incoherent sound. Perhaps this is done to help mask Lenny's less than spectacular playing as he attempts to take over Craig Ross' studio role as main guitarist.

Most of the songs are cut off in mid performance to show clips of Lenny being annoyed by interviewers' questions, Lenny being annoyed by fans on the street and Lenny just being annoyed with the world in general.

The icing on the cake is the poor camera work and editing. I wish I had taken the time to read a review or see a preview of this one before buying it. This DVD is a definite dust collector.

Summary: Totally Misleading Packaging
Review: I had been looking at this DVD for ages until it finally came up in a clearance sale. I cannot believe how disappointed I am! Like others have stated, it is NOT a concert. It is more a documentary with snippets of songs than a concert with extras. What a ripoff. Don't waste money on this if what you really want is a concert.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Lenny Rocks
Review: Instead of treating this as the same old concert video, treat it as a rockumentary. This DVD starts out looking like a live concert but you quickly learn that it is a movie about Lenny and his music. I thought the concert footage was fantastic and the behind the scenes stuff was interesting. You definitely get an idea of the frustration Lenny has with the music industry. I was a big fan of the dreds which Lenny chopped off in favor of the braids. I like his onstage fro and Craig Ross's huge white man's fro, and when they start rockin with their two screamin guitars, you cant ask for better Lenny Kravitz. Pay special attention to the dude in the crowd rockin to Are You Gonna Go My Way.....hilarious.

Summary: Lenny, this dvd - live is a BOMBER.
Review: Interruptions!Interruptions! Who is that clown?
This suppose to be a CONCERT! What gives?
I agree that this dvd will be a dusty one. It is not a complete show as there are only "2" complete songs on it and is missing several key songs.[can't get you off of my mind/mama said/it ain't over til' its over].
Totally annoying, interrupting songs with interviews in all the songs.That "[JUNK]" should have been put on a special segment of the dvd separate from the show.
Do not expect the best from this one. Hopefully!!!>Lenny will get another DVD out there that is a complete show with the hits on it, all of them, UNINTERRUPTED!

Summary: Live? - we think not
Review: Truth in advertising? None to be found here - the title "Live" implies that this is a concert film to showcase the incredible music of Lenny. However, what you get is small snippets of live music between a ton of chatter and interviews (which are interesting, but should be part of the special features). I can only believe the track listing on the back of the DVD case is so that you can figure where you are in amongst all the talking. This is a DVD so be watched once and then taken down to your local used store to trade for something else.
