What a brilliant idea. The film captures the concert experience so well, from the obvious stage shots, but also buying beer & concessions, restroom breaks, backstage, green room, security (although a surprisingly a bit lacking). It truly gives you the experience of "being there". As for the other reviewers who rate this low and/or say, it's only good if you are a Beastie Boys fan, my question to them would be: If you are not a Beastie Boys fan, why would you watch it in the first place??? Why would anyone watch some band's DVD if you don't like the band?
One of the other cool effects are the DVD extras. Periodically throughout the DVD, an icon appears that you can click on... it takes you to an isolated camera view shot by a fan, labels "Camera (x)" (whatever number that may be). Also, a grid view of all 50 cameras at once is an option but while I found this another great idea in imagination, it isn't the best way to view the DVD,
In sum, a truly original concert DVD. We lost a talent in MCA.
