(Some of the above songs are played acousticly; I have marked those that I remember being acoustic, including the acoustic-only Washington D.C. show.)
I knocked off one star for a few reasons, partly because of the confusing "opening" title menu; I only saw it until after I finished playing the main live Toronto concert, not when the DVD first loaded.
It also would have been nice if the Reykjavik show (which is audio-only and has just a slideshow with pictures of the band) were also included in MP3 or a similar format. I doubt many people will play the DVD just to listen to the music without the video, so the ability to load it up on my iPod or burn it to a CD would have been very nice.
Also in the Reykjavik show, when I select to play "Hey, Johnny Park!" oddly the DVD plays "Low" instead.
If you like the Foo you'll likely enjoy all the live content on this DVD despite its few qualms. The songs on this DVD thankfully draw from all four Foo Fighter albums, and the band's energetic performance makes it a treat to watch and listen to.

Summary: Finally!
Review: Foos are much better live than in studio, and it's about time they released a live DVD. Over three hours of music. I wish the Iceland show had video too, but meh. What are you gonna do? Instead it displays still photos like Led Zep's How the West Was Won. The Toronto show was awesome, as were the other two.

Summary: Here's the REAL jist of the DVD....
Review: Good: Fact that it is the foo fighters, selection of songs (except they don't have much from their self titled debut), the toronto concert, the acoustic pieces in Washington DC Concert, the price, the DVD-ROM exclusive content (a lot better than the content made available on their "One by One - ENHANCED features" CD).Bad: At times the echo at the stadium is disguised by "shifting" in the frames; meaning that the sound quality is not as good as it could have been, the mikes for the crowd at toronto weren't set at a high enough volume (during Breakout, Grohl asked the crowd to sing the chorus: you can hardly hear them), expected some music videos but none were included. My Judgement: This DVD is damn good, provided you're willing to suffer a little bit from the sound quality at times. The lack of music videos is a bit of a sore point with this DVD, but it is still worth buying.

Summary: everywhere and home!
Review: I absolutely love the foo. one of my favorite bands, definitely. they put on the best rock shows i've seen, and this dvd does not disappoint. i was lucky enough to see them play the black cat in dc, and SO happy to see the acoustic set from that show on this dvd! For fans of the foo, this is a must have. the personalities of the guys really comes through, and it's a rockin' good time from start to finish.

Review: I felt like I was THERE. I even got other people to purchase it who were also with me at the store where I purchased it. I have to say I haven't finished ALL of it yet because I loaned it to my friend and her husband and they don't wanna give it back!
I watched it on a HUGE TV with total surround sound and you could hear it from 4 houses away. But you can't help it because as soon as you put in the DVD, the concert STARTS. So you get into it right away. None of this waiting around with your remote control for the DVD waiting to press the select and play buttons, etc. Like I said, it was like we were there. The camera work was very good as well. The close ups on Taylor and lengthened and/or alternate versions were at times "mesmerizing". Anyway, I have always loved the band, now I do even more because they seem to really care about what fans want, and they delivered just that! This is my new favorite DVD! Drummers RULE!

Summary: After years of waiting.....a true dissapointment
Review: I know that title sounds a little negative but I have some good reasons for it. I'll start off with the good points about the video. It was nice to see the recent live concerts like the one from Toronto. I also like the way that there was a variety of songs on there such as Weenie Beenie, I haven't seen them play that live since 97. Although, I found it dissapointing because the live footage was only very recent (I would loved to have seen some older stuff on there). Also, I did not like the way they did not include any music videos. I have always thought that the Foo Fighters always have great music videos. It would have been ideal to have a two disc set- one live 95-03 and the other made up of music videos and maybe some more behind the scenes stuff. After being a Foo fan since the beginning and seeing them 6 times in concert since then, I was extremely dissapointed with the material on the DVD.

Summary: Love 'em but where was the Quality check
Review: I like just about every Foo Fighter song. They are talented musicians and songwriters. They also have a showmanship that is exciting. Okay, I'm saying all of this before I say that the quality of the DVD was low in comparison with most any other music DVD that has come out in the last several years. Did the team that put this together check with the band first? I think not. The songs are great, but... Compare it to the likes of Linkin Park (live in Texas), Dave Matthews (live in Central Park)??? I'm sorry and disapointed that there is no comparison in "sound quality". I am looking forward to the next DVD from the Foo Fighters and will buy it anyway. But, have your Quality Control check it out first.
