"This is like one big orgasm!" says singer-frontman Danny Elfman toward the end of Oingo Boingo's final concert on Halloween night, 1995. That's an apt comparison, since this two-hour, 45-minute performance plays like an extended climax, with Elfman and his bandmates putting out enough energy to light a small city and turn their costumed devotees into a pulsing mass of mutual love. Elfman's like a supernova onstage, maintaining a miraculous pace through 32 songs, any one of which qualifies as definitive Boingo (though we're partial to "Insanity," "Dead Man's Party," and the Dr. Moreau-inspired "No Spill Blood"). In retrospect it's clear that Oingo Boingo wanted to cap 17 years of success with their finest concert, and this one arguably meets that goal. Thorough but inconspicuous camera coverage captures the whole show from start to finish, and the Dolby 2-channel stereo is crisp and clear. Watch it all at once--we guarantee you'll be euphorically exhausted. --Jeff Shannon

So good I own the VHS and the DVD.......2007-03-30

I love and adore Oingo Boingo and was very happy to get this when it came out on VHS. I bought the DVD the very same day I bought my DVD player. I felt that the "movie" gave me a feeling of actually being there. The performance of the band was top-notch (I also have the CD). It's very sad that we don't have Oingo Boingo around anymore, but at least we have this DVD to keep forever.

MOOOOORE!!.......2007-02-16

I read all 28 reviews here and I seem to be the only new Boingo fan. These guys are timeless and so is this video. I was absolutley mesmerized watching and wished it would have gone on forever...just like one giant orgasm. I've got 2 teens(13 and 15) who also loved this video. We now own every Boingo cd and listen to them all them time! We make copies for their friends and now they are hooked. Spread the word to this generation! Boingo is more relevant now than they have ever been. Thanks for all the reviews on this video. They are what got me to purchase this dvd.

Good Stuff!.......2006-11-07

If you're a Boingo fan, you need to get this one. Great concert! Non-stop energy from Danny and the boys!

Urgh!.......2006-08-27

Never paid much attention to the band other then their part in "Urgh! A Music War". Great band, great music, great talent, pricy DVD. But it was worth it.

Hopefully some day "Urgh!" will be released on DVD.

Great (if incomplete) show.......2006-06-15

For those who have never seen Boingo live this is as good as it's going to get but for those of us who were there for the final, Halloween night performance it would be nice to have the entire show (Elfman didn't want to do Goodbye, Goodbye as the finale but since it was the last show ever he treated us fans with an insane version of it). Oh well, if you can get your hands on a bootleg copy then the more power to you. Still, it's better than nothing.
