Rating: Summary: Great music, lots of flashing lights! Review: I wasn't sure about this before I ordered it...I knew some of Underworld's music but wasn't sure if I needed a DVD of it. Finally I caved and bought it and am glad I did. Lots of great concert footage throughout and great music. You can't help jamming while this is on. I would highly recommend it to any techno fan.
Rating: Summary: An Experience Review: I will never forget the first time I saw this DVD. It was such an intense experience! It was like having Underworld perform in my living room. You can hear the scream of the crowd and the echo of the stadium. My strongest memory of the DVD is the way it portrayed the scores of people that attended the concerts. It seemed like more people were at them than attended the Olympics.
Rating: Summary: Solid stuff from a great, great group Review: I'd always been a huge underworld fan but I had never seen them live so I figured this was the next best thing. A great DVD overall. Great shots of the group performing, their setups, how they make the music they do and, of course, the grooving fans. Great features too like the Tomato Art collective video art. The whole DVD is different songs performed live at different places and some might find the whole live format kind of tiresome. It would have been nice to see things such as music videos from the guys but hey that's why its called Underworld LIVE right? If you're an Underworld fan and you don't have this DVD I've got two words for you. Why not?
Rating: Summary: FORGET THIS DOG! Review: I'm an Underworld fan so I was looking forward to enjoying this DVD. But playing the same songs 3 times in 1 DVD just doesn't cut it (how uncreative). Why couldn't the producers make a DVD with 1 set of songs? What a disappointing DVD. The Zen TV DVD with Ninjatunes videos succeeds way better in producing a far out feel than this dumb repetitive DVD. Don't waste your money!
Rating: Summary: if you're a fan buy it Review: If you are a fan of Underworld, buy this dvd. If you're hate them, you should avoid at all costs! I'ma fan, I bought it.
Rating: Summary: if you love the underworld.... Review: If you love the underworld like I do... and in the event of their break up, this DVD is a perfect addition to any electronic music/underworld collection. Also, if you are throwing a kick-[behind] party, throw this onto your surround-sound DVD system, and let the party gooooo. I have had rave reviews with this DVD kickin' the party.
Rating: Summary: Testament to the best live show around Review: One thing I truly love about Underworld is it's ability to be hugely popular in the dance scene yet at the same time never compromising their sound and commercialize themselves in an effort to "go pop" (*--see Moby, The Chemical Brothers, and to a certain extent, Fatboy Slim). When you hear an Underworld album, you hear sounds that you wouldn't really expect from a techno band. Sometimes slow, sometimes moody, sometimes upbeat, the albums offer something good to listen to no matter what you are doing. When you see a live performance you'll hear those familiar tunes performed, yes PERFORMED not just a go-through-the-motions copy of the album, you'll feel an energy that definitely grabs hold of you. I wasn't sure what to expect from the DVD because Tomato and the rest of the creative team behind the scenes are extremely creative in how the present the lighting and visuals that complement the music onstage. Add that with Karl Hyde, the bottled-lightning vocalist who arguably has more bounce and energy than the bunny from the Energizer commerical, and you have a live performance that can't be compared with your typical concert taping. FYI, the footage on the DVD was taken from about (off the top of my head) 7 or 8 performances from festivals from around the world. Lastly, other than your typical DVD with limited bonus material or special features, there are enough things on "Everything, Everything" that supplement the feature presentation, including 2 audio tracks ("Kittens" and "Rowla") you can listen to that didn't go into the concert performance part of the show. For a dance music fan, "Everything, Everything" is perfect. Period.

Rating: Summary: wow. Review: Simply amazing. The video which was demo-ing at Virgin Records immediately grabbed my attention with its stunning visuals. I put on the headphones and got lost in it for the remainder of the video. At first, I wasn't sure if I should purchase this DVD since I already own the CD. But after viewing the demo, I was more than convinced to buy it. I had to have it. Not only does it have three songs that aren't on the CD, the other tracks just sound better. When you program the tracks in the set you want, you could hear something new each time. Go check it out, crank it up on your dolby digital receiver (if you have one), turn your lights off and let the visuals grab your mind. You will love it. I guarantee.
Rating: Summary: i NEED more! Review: simply awesome. since i couldnt go to the concert i brought the concert to me. i wish there were more dvd's like this one. anyone know of more like this ??? wow.
