They're Great!!!.......2007-04-02

I almost didn't get this because of some of the negative reviews I'd read--but I am so glad I did. The cutting IS herky-jerky but that takes about 3 seconds to get used to--the thing is--this band is great to watch and they are terrific live. If you've ever seen them live--relive it with this DVD, if you haven't seen them yet--prepare by watching it. Good sound, great songs.

Freakin Sweet!.......2006-10-24

There is really only one major reason to buy this DVD: Snow Patrol is better Live. A quiet "soft-rock" band on c.d., Snow Patrol is a rock juggernaut on stage. While the editing is typical of the MTV generation, I've seen worse... much worse. A great show and a great buy!

Mediocre.......2005-04-23

Although I'm a huge fan of Snow Patrol's most recent album, Final Straw, I was incredibly disappointed with this DVD. I'll agree with the previous reviewers that the editing is too choppy and can be annoying, and the filming style does little to enhance their performance. However, the most disturbing aspect of this DVD lies in the vocals and sound quality. The first half of the set sounds like a warm up for the lead singer, where he is noticably off key most of the time. While I attempted to simply ignore the flaws of the DVD, both the backup and lead vocals are too horrendous to ignore. Perhaps if the band members were on fewer drugs they could hear how off they sound.
On the positive side, Snow Patrol is incredibly talented and their passion and creativity manages to shine through.
Overall, not worth the money for the weak extra features and mediocre performance.

Great live music DVD...video is nauseating.......2005-01-02

Great band that delivers a great live show. I read the reviews and I agree with the people that didn't think much of the million video clips but I would recommend this DVD dispite that. It costs about the same as a CD anyway and you still get to see the band having fun playing to a really good crowd in a great setting. In my opinion, a live DVD of a favorite band adds to the entertainment value over a CD by being able to watch the talent of the musicians playing their instruments and seeing how it all comes together. This DVD misses a lot of that because of the quick clips but it is still great to put in for a party. This band rocks overall and in the long run...it's all about the music.

Mums and Dads This Is a Great DVD.......2004-12-02

I almost didn't buy this DVD because of the first reviewer, but I went ahead and did it anyway. I'm glad I did so because I now know he has no idea what he's talking about. The 3 audio tracks on this DVD are AMAZING (yes even the 2 channel track, assuming you have Dolby Pro Logic II)! The DTS is excellent, and my preffered choice. The direction style of the video is much like any newer rock band DVD... Get used to it. Great selection of songs, the best being Ways & Means (the live violins are really cool). A must own.
