Summary: Great Band, Not so great DVD
Review: Considering that REM is one of the best bands of our time and considering the time and effort that REM puts into their recordings and how they are such perfectionist in the quality of their music, this DVD is disappointing. The performance may have been good but who could tell with the way the video jumps around. The quality of the picture at times was very poor and not up to DVD's potential quality. Im not sure what the producer of this DVD was trying to achieve but it doesnt show REM at their best (Unlike the recent outstanding MTV broadcast). Maybe I'm spoiled, but after watching Metalica's "Cunning Stunts" DVD and seeing what can be done with a concert on DVD I was expecting more from REM.

Summary: It`s good
Review: Considering there is a video on a "life concert" I think It`s pretty good. Maybe the sound could be better.
I liked the "jump video" from one concert to other.
Anyway every R.E.M fan must have it. R.E.M fan BUY IT!!

Rating:
Summary: its just the best
Review: i consider my self as huge fan of this band and this is why it is easier for mr to say this. R.E.M. is well known for her hugh gigs and they really dont need another dvd to show for it, but in this product they really outscore themselfs. this dvd show in a very uniqe way how huge this band is and how multi-colored stipe is.In many of this dvd songs u can really feel u are there and u just been pushed in the crowed.

Summary: Poor sound quality makes this a "must avoid"
Review: I have all REM's CDs and then some, and consider myself a huge fan. Video-wise and performance- wise, I'm happy with this DVD. However, the sound quality is absouluely the worst of any legitimate concert video I've seen/heard. I'm not sure how anyone can possibly consider this a 4- or 5- (or even 3) star video/DVD (See other reviews). It's possible to make a concert video with clean, strong, soundboard audio and still have that raw, live concert feel. The producer of this DVD did not do that. This should be avoided by all but the REM completist.

Summary: As Good As Tourfilm
Review: I have purchased both Tourfilm and Road Movie as my interest in R.E.M. has renewed since seeing them in concert in Detroit last Fall. Road Movie is definitely getting overly criticized, and I believe that this is occurring for one reason: many folks prefer the old R.E.M. and do not like the Monster album, upon which much of Road Movie is concentrated. I, myself, delayed buying Road Movie for several months because of this criticism. The sound on this DVD is NOT bad or distorted. The sound on this DVD reflects the R.E.M. sound of the Monster era. They are a great band because their sound changes with each album. I believe they are the greatest American band ever. They are not the greatest rock and roll band ever because calling them a rock and roll band is way too limiting on them. They are much more than that! I would suggest to anyone with an interest in this DVD that they play Monster ALOT before they watch it. I did not like Monster for a long time, but I finally gave it a chance by listening to it all the way through in the car several times. Eventually, I was hooked by the passion. Listen especially to the song "Let Me In" several times. The song, at first, sounds like a distorted mess, but then the intensity of the thing just blows you away. I also believe the concert footage is very well done. It gave me a sense of the concert experience much more than did Tourfilm, where the cameras seemed more distant from the stage. In summation, do not avoid this DVD. Buy Tourfilm and Road Movie. I also look forward to buying "Perfect Square" when it comes out next week. I only regret that "Driver 8" is not on ANY of their live DVD's. That is a HUGE oversight!

Summary: A MUST HAVE DVD FOR EVERY R.E.M. FAN KEEPING UP WITH TIME
Review: I have seen Road Movie in both VHS and DVD formats, and the difference is REMARKABLE. Granted, it's not like being there yourself, and not like a regular album release.... but for a live video release, the DVD TOTALLY ROCKS!!! It really makes me feel like when I was at the concert at the World Theatre myself, in person...

Summary: Great, but they needed to take advantage of DVD
Review: I love REM live and as for presenting that aspect of the band, it is great. It provides a real "you are there" feeling, especially on the DVD. The video quality is what should be expected from a beta sp recording and the audio quality is great. What I would like on this DVD is special features, mostly the documentary Rough Cut. I hope REM continues to produce DVD's though. They are due next year for another video compliation from Tongue to the last from Up.

Summary: Audio and Video Quality Poor
Review: I was disappointed with the quality of both the audio and video. There was considerable camera shake and you can't really crank it up because of the audio quality. Stick with the CD, or better yet, wait until a compilation of their videos is released. END

Summary: Audio is absolute junk, video not much better.
Review: I would love to give this disk zero stars, or 1/2 a star if I could. I love all of my REM CD's, so I have to warn other REM fans that this DVD is aweful. The audio is a far cry form REM CD's or great sounding DVD concerts like the Rolling Stones, Bridge to Babylon, or the Bee Gee's, One night Only. These are two awesome sounding DVD's.
