Summary: What a show
Review: Some people have said they don't like this DVD because of the editing style and enjoy Listener Supported better than this disc. I have to disagree. The Band is tighter than ever, they give it their all and then some, particularly on All Along the Watchtower - which I was blown away by because I have never been a fan on DMB's version but now am having second thoughts. I feel this disc captures the enery of a DMB show far better than Listener Supported, a performance I feel the band was not really into and kinda lulled through. Outside of being in with a group to dance with and the sent of marijuana, this is as close to being at a DMB concert than actually being at a DMB concert.b

Summary: Not Widescreen Anamorphic. Why ? There is no excuse.
Review: The concert gets 5 stars. Great selection of songs and an excellent performance from the band.
The sound gets 4 stars. Although good overall, the sound mix could have been better.
The image quality, well.......I'll get to that later.....
The mixing of the image.....I'm not as annoyed as other reviewers but in a way I agree with them, why so many changes ?....change is good....but I would have liked to see Dave and the guys for slightly longer periods of time (just a second or two would have made such a difference).
OK. Image quality....why go from a full screen image to a widescreen want to be with three different views that on a full screen tv look so small. You loose the intended effect. Concert DVD's should all be in WIDESCREEN ANAMORPHIC format. THERE IS NO EXCUSE. Diana Krall's - Live in Paris, Yes - Live in Amsterdam, Roger Waters - In the Flesh Live, David Gilmour - In Concert, Sting - All This Time, Neil Finn & Friends - Seven Worlds Collide, Paul McCartney's - Live at the Cavern Club, Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band - Live in New York City, etc, etc, etc........are all WIDESCREEN ANAMORPHIC. I'm sure that the image changes would have looked much better if the center had been left alone (no shrinking) and then the sides would have been replaced by other images. Besides in widescreen you would have been able to see more of the band at the same time without the need of some many changes. It would have been a whole different video and way, way better. One star for the image.

Summary: Music Rocks, Camera Work needs Work!
Review: The music in this edition is fabulous. The songs, crowd and venue were just about as energetic as possible. I would have liked the filming to have been edited more like Listener Supported where the musicians are shown a little quicker than just a couple seconds. The DVD is a must buy for any serious DMB fan.

Summary: Great Show, Poor DVD
Review: The show itself is amazing, I have only been to three Dave concerts and this is better than seeing them live, but the DVD continously goes to a three way screen, showing Music Video clips and other crap. The the screen that shows the concert is too small and would be much better without it. The only reason this gets a 4 from me is because of the terrific show. Check out Big Eyed Fish and Warehouse. They are both great in this concert. The CD is a much better buy here!

Summary: Even if your a DMB fan, don't buy it!
Review: The video editing makes the DVD unwatchable. The video cuts have no relationship to the music. It just jumps from shot to shot - no matter if there's a solo or Dave is singing - it justs keep channel surfing the whole time.

Summary: I would love to give it more stars, but
Review: there's just too much editing and cuts to differing camera angles. If you enjoyed the intimacy of the Listener Supported DVD, you will probably be a little disappointed in this DVD. Take this with a grain of salt b/c I'm one of those people that enjoys seeing the band most of the time and feeling the intimacy involved with that. The cuts from Dave TO the other band members TO the crowd TO a distant shot TO a gimmick shot of a three way split screen is just too much for me. I loved Listener Supported and would love to be able to give this DVD a higher rating, but just can't. It seemed to me that Listener Supported perfectly balanced shots of all the differing band members with a few shots of the crowd at proper times. This just seems scattered (sorry, best word I could think of). It's great to hear some of the songs for the first time live and it's great just because it's a live DMB show, but the editing and gimmicky production are bothersome. I'm surprised DMB let it be this overproduced b/c what I love about their shows is that they are what they are--a great live show about great music with little show business and a lot of spirit, heart, and sincerity. The music is great as always and deserves 5 stars, but to be honest it's hard for me to even give 3 stars overall b/c of the production. I'm a die-hard DMB fan, but am disappointed with this DVD. It may still be worth your purchase, but you may want to view a friend's once before dropping the bucks.

Summary: Underappreciated DMB set...worth a second look!
Review: This DVD gets a bit of a bad rap....at least online from those who think the camera moves are too rapid etc etc...and while it may not be as lovely as "listener supported" or as well executed as "Central Park"....this is the one of the three I watch most often....why?
The camera angles switching isn't annoying but fresh to me and the choices are artistic...and the set is very energetic and paced extremely well...sound and picture are crisp and powerful. I would give all three of DMB concert DVDs 5stars...and I guess I am writing this to try and encourage any fans scared by some reviews....this is a great concert....and a visually exciting package.....you will be impressed with the music and visuals.

Summary: Please, Please read this
Review: This review is coming from a dedicated Dave Mathews Fan, but a very disappointed fan. Upon first aquiring this DVD, I was anxious to see what a great show I missed, but something went drastically arry after the DVD began to play. Now when I first started listening to this band, they were really laid back and their shows were incredible. This however, is a circus on camera. I have been more entertained by spining a bottlecap on a counter than by watching this show. The editing was horrific, the performance was a grasp for a young, Hanson-loving crowd. How come nobody else has not caught on to the music that is continually going down the drain. I nearly cried knowing that it was only 8 years ago that this band put on the most memorable show that I have ever been seen at Red Rocks, and this was their follow-up to that show. Disgusting. I will not stop listening to the band, nor will I stop buying their music, but from this I realize that they can not be trusted. From now on I will ask the question, "hey have you heard the new Dave Mathews?" or "hey, what's the new Dave DVD like, is it as horrible as Folsom Field?" before I purchase the album. Pass this one by, for if you chose to buy this DVD, you too will be doomed.
