Summary: Some love it, some hate it
Review: Mixed reviews. Always hard to come to a conclusion when half the reviews are 5 stars and the other half are one. So let's break it down: Sound, very good. I had to toy with my 5.1 settings a bit but finally got it and was happy. Sight: great, sharp video. Extras, good, some cool old footage. So what's the problem? First, I really wish this was a normal show with just Moterhead doing its thing. Instead we get about a third of the songs with guests joining the band and it's totally lame. Secondly, as seems to be the current fad the video jumps all over at that "MTV generation/beyond short attention span" rate. The cameras are not still for a second. I'm in my 30s and I know that the younger people have grown-up with this sort of thing but I still cannot get used to it. So there you have it. If you don't mind strobe-like, video game-like camera movements and hacks like Doro destroying Motorhead classics you will love this DVD.

Summary: Motorhead Celebrates 25th Anniversary in Style!
Review: Not many bands manage to make it to their 25th birthday. Even less have the level of influence on the world of rock that Motorhead have exerted. Some of the worlds biggest bands continually give a nod to Lemmy and the boys, citing them as the reason they first picked up a guitar.It seems only fitting that Motorhead would celebrate their 25th Anniversary in real style. Going back to their roots, the band played a special show at London's famous Brixton Academy. With special guests like Brian May (QUEEN), Fast Eddie Clark (ex-Motorhead), Whitfield Crane (UGLY KID JOE) and Doro Pesch (DORO, WARLOCK), the stage was set for a very special evening. The entire event was captured on film and is now presented here in DVD format. The DVD also features lots of behind the scenes and backstage material as well as interviews unique to this release. There are even some cool easter eggs for you to discover! This is the difinitive Motorhead concert - a milestone in the career of these metal giants!

Summary: We Are Motorhead!
Review: This DVD is great. The camera work is perfect and super clear. The sound is awsome. Each song is played by the guys like it's the first time ever. I mean they aren't up there just slogging through the set, there's real enthusiam. Really tight and loud. Lot's of fun. 25 years and better than ever! My only complaint is the guest guitar people invited in for the grand finale. It just didn't work. They weren't Motorhead so they should have stayed away from that stage. The interviews are pretty weak too. But I honestly have to say this is one of the best concert videos I've ever seen. Buy it now!

Summary: Good material, bad sound, bad footage
Review: This DVD only deserves 3 stars for the following reasons; the material is good, the list of songs is really representative of this group. The sound is disappointing, all the songs in the main concert begin with good sound, but as soon the camera zooms out the volume is reduced and many times it varies during the song. The footage is disappointing as well, the are no good angles, seems like the cameras are statical and they only can zoom in and zoom out.

Summary: Don't waste your time
Review: This DVD's a disaster. Having seen Motorhead live about 15 times since 1980, I know how great a show they are. Unfortunately, this video was edited by some rookie director/editor who decided he/she would create the excitement, not Motorhead. The band and songs totally lose their energy as the show's context gets destroyed by constant, rapid, random cuts. What you get is camera shots bouncing from one to the next like a pinball, never staying on Lemmy or the band for longer than 1-3 seconds at a time. You never get the power of watching them play live, like at a show. I've tried watching this 4 times now and can never get through more than 2 songs. Save your money and get the "Live in Toronto" or another live show. Boneshaker will only leave you shaking your head in anger at spending the [money.]

Summary: The only way to feel the noise is when it's good and LOUD!
Review: This is without a doubt the best concert DVD I've ever seen. Boneshaker will kick your butt. The 5.1 digital sound is great, the picture is crisp and clear, the setlist is fantastic and played with great energy for a band that's been around for 25 years. Lemmy at 55 is still the man, he is Rock and Roll. This DVD also has many hidden extras, including four songs from a concert done in Germany in 2001, and two videos. If you have never seen them live, then this is about as close as you can get to the real thing without actually being there. In short, this DVD is so good that I bought it twice.
