Summary: What's old is new again...
Review: "Along The Way" captures Bad Religion as the band began entering its peak, off the "Suffer" tour. The setlist features the band's forgotten brutality, with a large portion coming off "How Could Hell Be Any Worse?" The interviews with the German voice coming from off screen are unintentionally hillarious, but cover a variety of material including drug addiction and Nintendo.The source material is great. But the DVD is a disappointment. No special features, no photos, nothing but a bare bones menu list. Epitaph should have came to the plate on this one with a bit more authority. But at least the company isn't overcharging at a $14 pricetag. Even so, I'll treasure the DVD, which replaces my VHS copy and it's grainy images and crackling audio. Dolby sound encoding would have been nice, but it's Bad Religion, and do you really need that? probably not. A MUST for Bad Religion fans.

Review: i have to admit that i'm totally new to the music DVD market, i own just one music VHS (the "feeling lucky punk" free deal epitaph made a while ago) so i don't really know what should i have expected, but i'm quite disappointed by this: the content itself is out of question here: bad religion are bad religion and they simply rock. the problem here is with the video: the image quality is quite low, it's clearly from some kind of cheap equipment (yes, i know you can't bring a 10.000$ video camera at a punk show ;)) but the video has a lot of interlacing problems, you can see it whenever something moves. and the editing has some problems too: they took the images of different shows for every song and patched them together, it may look nicer than sticking to a single venue for every song, but the audio goes clearly out of sync at every change. the mood and the atmosphere is all there, you can almost smell that nice mixture of sweat and cheap alchool punk concerts usually have and at <14$ this is definetevely not a rip, but i would have expected something more professionally done, this really looks like the work of a very enthusiastic amateur. regards
Marcello oh, one last thing, it is really hylarious to see how people at the show looked in 1989.

Summary: Excellent
Review: OK first of all, I saw someone saying that the DVD was just pieces of various shows cut and put together. I agree with this (I don't mind it) but I have to say that the VHS version is like that too. They didn't rip you off by doing that on the DVD. Both versions are the same. And besides, the audio is all from the same show in Bremen. Quit complaining, you have classic BR performances for 15 bucks.

Summary: Much better than the Riot DVD...
Review: This DVD is a lot better than the Riot DVD, a lot better. My only little quibble is this: during a song, there are numerous cuts from different shows. I just wish you could experience one show or, at the very least, several songs from one show, then cut to another show for another series of songs. It's just a little funny, and distracting, to see the clothes change from cut to cut. The play list is great. The audio is fine. Overall, the DVD is fun to listen to and you get a good feel for the kind of show that Bad Religion puts on for its fans. Without question, Bad Religion is one of the best and more intelligent punk bands that has existed. I can't give the DVD a 5 star rating, just because of the way the songs were edited.

Summary: Bad Religion at its best
Review: This is a great show featuring a great song set. The audio is very good and the action of the show is intense. Definitely for a Bad Religion fan. The only reason for not giving the 5 stars is because the DVD does not offer any extras or bonus material. The navigation menu is shi*ty. It would have been cool to have extras like, bios, pics, unreleased footage, etc.
Anyhow, this DVD is best quality pure punk rock. If you are a hardcore BR fan, get it now!
