Summary: Fantastic concert
Review: I got the soundtrack for this concert for Christmas a few years ago, and I was so impressed with the music that I later bought the actual video. Money well spent.

First of all, I think the reason I like this concert the best out of all the other live DMB releases is because of the musical era it is from. "Before These Crowded Streets" is by far my favorite of the DMB records, and for the most part the versions of songs from the album they play are great. My one complaint would be "Rapunzel": they slowed it down like hell, and it sounds fairly awkward. Most everything else is quite awesome, and among my favorite tracks are "Pantala Naga Pampa," "Two Step," "Don't Drink the Water," and their famous concert-ending version of Dyland's "All Along the Watchtower."

In terms of the DVD and filming, the quality of the concert is very good, and the cinematography is also satisfactory. Also, there are alternate camera views of certain songs available to choose from the menus.

The absolute best part about this concert is "Two Step." Every part of the 14-minute performance was just freaking amazing. The song starts off with Boyd strumming his violin along with Dave's guitar while Stephan Lessard plays some slide bass. Then, Dave opens with some alternate lyrics to the introduction, and then the group crashes into the main part of the song heard on their album "Crash." After the main song body is over, Butch Tayler plays a stunning 2-minute piano solo, which I thought was the most amazing part of the performance. Then, Dave starts playing some cool guitar lick while the rest of the band silences down for about a minute, and then the entire group begins a 2-minute crescendo that culminates in an jaw-dropping drum solo by Carter Beauford. Again, the band quiets down for about a minute, and then music suddenly triples in volume and they play the outro that is heard in the original recording. Best performance of a song EVER.

Summary: dave live is the best
Review: Dave live is simply the best. It's how they got famous in the first place, they are one of the hardest working live tour bands out there and this dvd is just great. It really shows what they are like live. Also if you are a fan of older songs rather than the newer stuff will you love the song selections on here as well...listener supported cd/dvd either way you go its great

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Good concert, poor sound
Review: I bought this DVD becouse of 5 stars. Of course i like DMB, so i buy it from Amazon. When i start to watch this DVD i was disappointed. DMB did a great job on the stage, but sound quality on this DVD is AWFUL. DD5.1 have no clarity and details. It lacks of power. The vocals also doesn't sounds clean. The man who mixed DD on this product, have to learn a lot. He spoiled this otherwise great concert. He must see Eric Claptons-One More Car One More Rider DVD. The picture quality is good. I rate this DVD 5 stars to DMB and 3 star to quality of this DVD.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This Rocks
Review: I am ofcourse a big Dave fan, and I have been to their concerts as well. I can say that this dvd is as close to being at the concert. It has most of the popular songs on it and you can choose the angles at which you want to view. If I had to pick just one Dave Matthews dvd to buy I would pick this one. It is really worth it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great DVD
Review: As a longtime loyal fan of Dave Matthews Band, this DVD shows what they can do on a limitless scale. For those who have seen Dave live they know that what you see on this DVD is the quality performance you get in concert. The talent these musicians carry is great and on this DVD their talent is up close and personal. This DVD helps you appreciate how talented Dave Matthews Band is. Great songs on here from Crash to Warehouse to All Along the Watchtower, all are simply awesome. Dave also sings a great version of Long Black Veil, which was played at my first DMB concert. I bought Listener Supported over Folsom Field because I heard it was much better, however I'm still looking forward to buying Folsom Field. So if you're a DMB fan or a fan of their songs buy it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Just like in concert
Review: I've seen DMB about 5 times live and this captures the quality of his live performances (great sound/video). It is 2 hours of non-stop Dave at his best...I only wish it had been slightly longer and had even more of their songs. I purchased a "used" DVD and was pleasantly surprised at its "like-new" quality.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: one of the best shows I've ever experienced
Review: wow! This dvd will blow you away, especially if you have a nice stereo setup. All the way through Jimi Thing and Two Step I just sat in aww with my mouth open, it was amazing. All the tracks were exceptional but these two just kinda stick out in my mind. Its a great dvd to just sit back and relax to. Buy this dvd and I can pretty much guarantee you will not regret it.

Rating: 5 stars
