If you have a home theater 5.1 you are going to enjoy it to the maximum!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It was okay.......2007-04-21

The set list was great, but the editing was absolutely terrible. I didn't appreciate how the other musicians who were on stage were very rarely shown on camera.

comprehensive and electrifying live music to provide hours of enjoyment. This band goes all out for the live show!

Genuine Placebo Stuff.......2006-06-22

I think the best way to review this product is separating video and audio. Audio has a non-disputable 5 Star. Molko sounds clear, you can tell all the different instruments, riffs, etc. during each second of recording.
I am great fan of live material, however sometimes the original record provides more excitement than the live version, this is not the case. Also, couldn't agree more with the track listing (as shown by other reviewers). I'm not great fan of latest Placebo stuff, so I'll put it this way: track selection won't probably get better than this. Great end with Frank Black singing duo with Molko "Where is My Mind", a classic glam rock tune.

Then the video, honestly I love this band and enjoy of the technique used by all the band members to perform their songs, this DVD lacks direct camera shots of the band members playing solos or other stuff. Most of it is "bombarded" with retro images which sould be annoying after a while, seems more like a 90 minute MTV video.
Then the extra DVD features are very specific to a particular time of their 2003 tour, but in my case I enjoyed it because I'd never seen such footage before.

Overall a very good DVD for all those Placebo fans looking for 90 minutes of their best tunes and an amazing finale.
Must say that given the few Placebo material on DVD, this is probably the best one to own.

great concert but editing way too fast.......2006-05-20

a fantastic concert, but the video is an example of how you can ruin a perfect show by overproduction. this is edited like an mtv clip the whole way thru, which I find rather annoying. especially the foolish 'crappy-old-VHS-with-glitches' effect that visually ruins a couple of really good songs. but, despite that, the DVD is totally addicting, and - oh well, I got used to the stroboscopic pace after watching it a few times (but never to the silly distortion tricks).
you get a funny little tour-documentary as a bonus - it's pretty entertaining, not one of those serious things with endless boring interviews, just mostly Brian Molko goofing off.
