Summary: Not bad!
Review: Usually these types of shows do not translate well on screen, but this is an exception. Although the live performance still ranks much higher than the video version, if you have seen the show on stage, this serves as an excellent way to relive the memory. We have just seen the live performance; the video version seems much older. We found that the current band members have improved over those on tape, performing more difficult feats (eg, the drummers). But I would recommend this to anyone interested in this unique form of concert entertainment. It is certainly not limited to marching band fans (especially since I loved BLAST and have never enjoyed watched marching band!). I cannot think of a person who loves music, of any type, that would not love BLAST.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: You have to see this!
Review: I love Blast. I'd seen the DVD, so when it came to town, I went to see it live. It had to be one of the most incredible shows I've ever seen. If you enjoy great brass, percussion, and flagwork, you will LOVE Blast!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Amazing!!
Review: I saw the live performance from the front row, and it was amazing. While nothing can top the live performance for me, the DVD is a spectacular edition of the show! It shows the performance for different angles for the full effect. I knew I had to have it to keep that wonderful feeling of amazement with me that the show brought. I was a color guard (flag line) captain for 3 years and an instructor for 2, and I can ensure you these performers are the top of the line. It can't get much better that this (other than seeing it in person). I totally recommend it to anyone who enjoys being amazed. I know people that aren't at all inerested in this sort of thing, and they were completely blown away. It's definitely worth every cent!

Summary: Don't let your friends borrow this DVD . . .
Review: Don't let your friends borrow this DVD!! I've lost it for months, ended up having to buy a copy for them to get mine back! I'm going broke buying copies for people! This show is unbelievable, that they could find so much performance talent, tie it together with the incredible choreography, arrangements, and production skills, and take it on the road. My kids saw them in Indianapolis in 2001, we're hoping to see them this winter (2003) when they come back thru the Midwest again. The range of musical styles is incredible, not at all limited to what you would see on a football field at half-time. The percussion corps is astounding. You will be stunned by this show!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Unbelievably WONDERFUL
Review: This video shows you how awesome a marching band can be! Not only are marching bands talented..it is so kind of them to share the field with the football players. Watch this video and see just want you miss when you leave the bleachers at half time to get something to drink. :)

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Best Musical Performance Since Stomp
Review: I absolutely loved this act. It had something for everyone. I've seen the video and saw them perform live. They are awesome. I'm 17 and I'm amazed that I found it interesting. During the performance I was so excited! This music, singing, and visual effects are spectacular. If you are into music AT ALL, I'm positive you will love this video. It combines colorguard performances with sound and lighting effects. The ability of the performers are also breath taking. I give it 5 stars and would see it over and over again.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Best Musical Performance I've Ever Seen
Review: I saw the recording of the performance in band and have just recently seen Shockwave (Blast 2) live. The musicians and dancers are amazing! It was the best musical performance I've ever seen!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: THE BEST SHOW EVER
Review: This show is breathtaking and a great adrenaline rush for the entire family. The precision of a drum and bugle corps on the stage will make anybody look at marching bands in a new light. As a marching band and drum corp member, I could watch this show an know wht the members went through to get onto that stage. I have seen both the DVD and the live version, and one is not better than the other. The openning act of "Bolero" brings the crowd into the show with tremendous results. The difficulty of the "Battery Battle" will captivate the family and make you jump out of your seats with amazement. The fantastic color gaurd tricks, as well as the crazy antics of the brass keep the audience into the show and nobody will want to leave. A great buy for the band, and non-band, members alike.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great Test for Home Theater
Review: We saw this show live and rush out at intermission to buy the DVD. The DVD did not let us down, we have shared it with countless friends in our new Home Theater and it is a crowd pleaser.
