Summary: Very disappointed on this DVD!!!
Review: don't get me wrong, i like Chevelle and "Wonder What's Next" is one of the best albums among those thousands of CD i've own. so when i knew they had a live DVD release, i just went to the shop and bought it.
The thing is, they are not tight playing live, their performance is bad and boring, songs like "Family System", "Don't Fake This", "the Red", "Send the Pain Below", "Until You're Reformed" are badly performed, and are ruined by their fallen-apart performance, i love thier album much more than their live, which are much tighter and much more creative.

Summary: A great perfomance by an AWESOME Band
Review: I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS DVD! I am a huge Chevelle fan, but so far have been unable to see them live. The music they create with 2 guitars and drums is EXTRAORDINARY! I find it intense and addicting. I thought some songs sounded even better live than the cd version (Family Sytem, An Evening with El Diablo, Until you're Reformed, Point#1). After watching this DVD I can't wait to see them live and will be sure to catch them in concert the next time they tour. If you are a chevelle fan this DVD is a MUST HAVE!

Summary: A Perfect Snap-Shot of a Great Live Band.
Review: I picked up Chevelle's first DVD release, "Live From The Norva" about two weeks after seeing them perform live. Maybe it was the experience of seeing the band live (we don't get many good bands around here...), but to me, this is an excellent representation of the group and brings back the concert to my mind very vividly each time I watch it. Just like their music, Chevelle's live show is stripped down, yet very passionate, emotional and intense. All three brothers work together and compliment each other very nicely on each song. Pete's vocals are strong the whole way through, as he hardly ever misses a note or a lyric while trashing about on his guitar. Sam's drum-work provides a catchy back-ground for the music, while Joe's bass works almost like a second guitar, adding more dimension and crunch to the mere three-person band. The band blazes effortlessly and breezily through the short fourteen song set, pulling out all of their hits ("The Red," "Send The Pain Below"), some old stuff ("Mia," "Point #1" (my favorite Chevelle song)), some rarely heard songs ("Sma," "Don't Fake This") and even a b-side ("Until You're Reformed" from the 'Daredevil' soundtrack). I have watched this DVD many times in the near-year I have owned it and can tell you that if you love the band, it is worth the money. It is somewhat lacking in special features (how about some music videos?), but the concert is strong enough, it's forgiven (add to that a fair price).
Tracklisting:
01. Family System
02. Forfeit
03. Send The Pain Below
04. Until You're Reformed
05. Sma
06. Mia
07. Point #1
08. Closure
09. Grab Thy Hand
10. An Evening With El Diablo
11. Comfortable Liar
12. Don't Fake This
13. The Red
14. Wonder's What's Next
Also included is a pre-show interview with the band (pretty cool) called "Pay Your Dues" and some standard photo-gallery and discography features. Overall, an excellent little package, and goes well with the CD "Live From The Road," which, while not as extensive as this, is still worth checking out.

Summary: Buy This DVD NOW!!!!!!
Review: I'm a fan of Chevelle, so when I bought this DVD I was suprised at how good the music is when they are live. They basically play the whole Wonder What's Next album with 3 songs from Point #1 and 1 song from the Daredevil Soundtrack.
They provide a good solid performance, hopefully the next DVD they make will have the same energy as this one.
BUY THIS DVD NOW!!!!

Summary: A MUST for Chevelle fans!
Review: I've had the pleasure of seeing these guys "live" twice already, and "Live From The Norva" brings back awesome memories! "Family System" gets the show off to an energetic start, and the band follows up with such CHEVELLE fan favorites as "Forfeit", "Wonder What's Next", and "Comfortable Liar". Also included on the DVD are songs from the "Point #1" album,
including my favorite "Open/Point #1", which is the hilight of the show in my opinion. The sound and video quality is excellent throughout, and I definitely felt as if I were part of the crowd attending the actual show, which is exactly how a "live" concert recording is supposed to make you feel. This is a definite MUST for Chevelle fans! And worth a shot even if you're not already a Chevelle fan! 5 stars! Track List: 1. Family System
2. Forfeit
3. Send The Pain Below
4. Until You're Reformed
5. SMA
6. MIA
7. Open/Point #1
8. Closure
9. Grab Thy Hand
10. An Evening With El Diablo
11. Comfortable Liar
12. Don't Fake This
13. The Red
14. Wonder What's Next

Summary: Good Live Atmosphere.. just not Great Music
Review: So the crowd could have been a little more into it, but the venue was small, so that's no big deal. The video and sound quality is good, and the film is well directed. However it seems as if we may not be watching great musicians. The music isn't great, but there are some good songs in this performance. I don't regret the buy, mainly because I'm a fan of concerts on DVD... but definitely buy The Red Hot Chili Peppers Live at Slane before this. That DVD is beautiful. ;-)

Summary: great dvd
Review: this dvd is awesome, im a huge chevelle fan and got the dvd and the live cd around the same time. The dvd really gives a good idea of what the atmosphere of the concert may be like. The extras i think are cooler then the concert all together mainly "Pay Your Dues" overall if you like Chevelle, get this dvd NOW. You won't regret it.

Summary: great DVD
Review: to the guy below ripping them because they're not "tight" and the sound isn't good... give them a break. They're a trio and they're playing in a small venue. They're going to sound different than their studio albums because they can't over layer the guitar parts and such. Also, the small venue means they probably didn't bring in tons of gear, etc. Plus, its an entire concert... not just a collage of cut and paste of the best moments. Other concert videos that I've seen that have great sound, etc all have larger bands, more equipment, and cuts. Chevelle is a very good band with a tremendous studio sound that would be almost impossible to recreate live with just the 3 brothers.
