Review: The Good:
1. It's the Foos. 2. It's 3 Hours of the Foos Live 3. It's a cheap DVD considering the content 4. It's worth the asking price just for the acoustic section alone!The Bad: 1. The 5.1 Mix is horrible and make's Dave (Grohl) sound like he's singing in the bath (Stick to the Stereo track) 2. Half of the content is an "audio only" concert which covers nearly all of the same tracks as the video content, which is a disappointment! The Unforgiveable: 1. After waiting so long for this DVD, i'm left feeling it could have been so much better 2. It doesn't convey the raw power and joy of seeing the Foos live, due to the soundtrack. These coments may seem harsh, but when you see DVD concerts such as Joe Satriani live in San Francisco, then you know what could have been.

Summary: Great but could have been better
Review: The Toronto gig is excellent on the whole. It features a nice variety of Foos songs. They perform them with real energy. The acoustic gig in Washington is also good. I have to say, however that I wasn't too keen on the Slane footage. I didn't like the swtiching between two screens, but thats just my opinion. If I had been in charge of the DVD, I probably wouldn't have bothered with the Reykjavik 'audio only' performance, and would have put in some other performances from different places, with audio and visual footage, but this doesn't mean that the audio from Iceland doesn't rock.
I thought, also that they might have taken the alternate bridges and outros in Toronto a bit far at times. I guess they probably did this deliberately, seeing that they knew they were filming their DVD. I think Dave perhaps screams a bit too much as well. This does, however create a more raw feel to the concert.
There are two songs that, for me, stand out as being left out from the DVD: My Poor Brain and This Is A Call. But for a band with four albums they really have done well to squeeze in a good selection (we even hear Weenie Beenie).
It was perhaps a bit of a shame not to see any 'roadwork' (which is done very well on the Red Hot Chili Peppers Greatest Videos DVD) or band interviews. There is a nice photo gallery, though.
All in all, although I may have dwelled on the negatives a bit, if you're a real Foo Fighters fan, I would recommend you buying it.

Summary: Great Live Shows plus nice hidden goodies
Review: The Toronto show has great sound, and gives you a good example of what the Foos are doing live these days. The DC segment with acoustic rendetions of a few songs has both great video and sound. Actually, all of the normal "shows" are great, but the cool thing about this DVD are the hidden goodies. You may have to try playing it on your PC to find them all, but there is a great story about and live performance from Nilfist, a band from Iceland that the Foos stumbled on while dining out the night before their show. There are a couple of other small hidden film clips here and there. Good stuff!

Summary: I'd give it a B+
Review: The true Foo fan will love this body of work. A full concert from Toronto pretty much represented what most of us saw on tour (I saw them in Detroit). The raw, live "arena rock" sound is present in the 5.1 surround sound audio, which is good and bad. While It stays true to the acoustics of the venue, it doesn't do justice to Dave Grohl, who has a great voice when he's not screaming. "Stacked Actors" is among the finest performances within the concert. The band really shines in a hip acoustic set from Washington DC. It was outstanding and left me wanting to see much more of that club gig. Bottem line: good video at a good price from one of the greatest progressive rock bands in the business.

Summary: Truly Amazing DVD.. but i'm biased
Review: This DVD is now the best DVD i own... but most likely because i am in it! i was at the toronto show on july 7 2003 and thats whre the majority of the DVD was shot. along with an acoustic set in washington d.c., few songs from slane castle in dublin and an audio version of their first show in reykjavik, iceland. although the DVD lacks professionality, it shines in the area of good tunes. especially dave's solo acoustic material. but overall, toronto is the greatest part of the DVD. i showed up 6 hours early and was front row the entire show. it was a hell of an experience and i urge every other foo fan to experience it through this excellent DVD.
