Summary: unfortunately a waste of money
Review: This is by far the best DVD ever made. The Goo's did such an excellent job playing their songs. They are superior musicians and have tons of talent. You can tell that they had so much fun being there and they were so themselves. The scenery of Alaska was absolutely breathtaking and unbelievable. So unreal. I highly recommend this to any Goo Goo Dolls fan out there. You will not be disappointed. John, Robby, and Mike, you guys are the BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Summary: Great scenery, solid acoustic performances make this work
Review: Unlike most live CD's/DVD's this one is very different. The reviews from other readers were very helpful: I have a large screen and surround and the review was dead on - the scenes of Alaska are awesome and the Johnny Reznik is talented enough to pull off their best tunes from their latest project acoustically. Don't expect a typical concert - basically the Goo's and a guitar... much time is spent showing them touring Alaska - but if you are a fan it makes you feel like your hanging out with the boys. Only reason it didn't get 5 stars? Surprisingly, they don't perform "Iris" or "Name" - songs which would seem to be easier to pull off acoustically and are their best sellers. If you are a fan, enjoy cool scenery, and can live with only 7 songs (mostly from "Gutter Flower"), it's worth having in the collection.

Summary: When did all the reverb come into this DVD?
Review: When I saw this video on one of the pay-per-veiw channels last year, the music was exactly recorded how it should be in the open outdoors and on location. The sound drew us in like we were standing right there, we watched it for a whole month, every day. It's an accustic-setting and the electronics were true to the area, awesome. (you can hear a little of the true sound near the end when your seeing the sound guys set up). But this duplicated-video for retail was altered with REVERB in every song. Except when the duplicating guy forgot to push the reverb button in one song, but to our amazement he fixed his problem after 4 measures of singing. YUCK! With all that excessive reverb it sounds like they overdubbed the songs in an airplane-hanger after they got back from Alaska, instead of what they actually did record live. This is one of the best "Music In High Places" gigs, and with the Goo Goo Dolls you couldn't ask for more. We will still watch it, but we really can't enjoy it.
:( We are very disapointed.):
