Customer Reviews: Total numer of reviews: 64 Average rating: 4.5 "Pure EnerGy" I have this in regular VHS, so I'm sure the DVD version is even better. The intensity of the music is unbeliveable and the political nature of the songs should (must) be appreciated by those of us that can see what is really happenning here in our country. I'm 55 and don't even like this kind of music, but will buy the DVD of this music. "One of the Best Live Bands" This video is probably one of the best live band videos your going to get. It shows the intensity and energy of Rage Against the Machine on stage, and is a MUST buy for ALL rage fans. I bought this cd in a store (Hot Topic) along with the single ghost of tom joad, and I believe it was cheaper, BUT if you can't find it anywhere. Definitely get it. "Old School RATM Fans" This was one of the first DVD's I bought. I had it on VHS and loved it, this version is even better. If your an old school RATM fan and have liked them since the beginning like me, the you'll love this on DVD or video. It gives a great sense (if turned up REAL LOUD) of what it's like to see Rage live. With a mix of older & newer footage of the band at it's hardcore best. The festival shots give a good appreciation of the popularity of this, still somewhat underground group. The footage in some sets may seem shot poorly but this is done on purpose to enhance viewing pleasure, with the sound still brilliant. This DVD format gives options to skip tracks, have lyrics (for those who don't know them) and other standard DVD features. And if this wasn't enough, all the Rage video clips from R.A.T.M. & Evil Empire are included. So all fans, new or not, young & old, buy this DVD and you WILL NOT BE DISSAPOINTED! . Also check out Rage's CD's - R.A.T.M., Evil Empire & The Battle Of Los Angeles in the MUSIC section. Rock on! . "The Next Best Thing" This Rage video is worth the price. It is the next best thing to an actual concert. I as a fan truly enjoyed watching this video. Also, there are many music videos on this video which I have never had the opportunity to see before. As an added incentive, there is a CD single The Ghost Of Tom Joad which is a cover of one of Bruce Sprinsteen's songs about the Grapes Of Wrath. The song is hard to find, and is a very good song. "Could have been better" I am a huge R.A.T.M. fan. I love pretty much anything they do but I still believe this DVD was put together pretty poorly. The live recordings dont capture the power and the adrenaline rush you get from actually seeing the band live, and the sound on the live tracks is not very good. Also, Rage has a large arsenal of amazing songs yet this DVD repeats some songs twice instead of giving you a wider range of songs. One good thing is that you can view the lyrics to the songs as zack sings. If your a BIG rage fan you'll like it because its Rage, But in conclusion the DVD does not acurrately represent the band and the emotion level they play with live.
