"some of those that burn crosses,are the same that hold office"!.......2007-11-13

The band last tour outside US before the farewell performance at the
the Grand Olympic Auditorium in Los Angeles.

This is worth a collection!

I recommend this to all RATM fanatics!

FEEL THE RUSH!

Its Rage Against the Machines finest hour!

Excellent.......2006-10-09

Another great performance DVD from Rage (Olymipic Auditorium is arguably more essential due to the fact it's their last show and features Renegades songs). The set list is great and the performance is, as usual, phenomenal.
I would argue that the extras are somewhat lacking, but who cares when the show is so good.
In reference to the sync problem, it is only noticable in the first song Testify. I couldnt see any sync problems at any other time in the DVD so dont let that put you off.
However, if you only buy one Rage DVD, make it Olympic Auditorium for a better crowd atmosphere and brilliant extras.

I thought the quality of this DVD was much better than the other self titled live DVD, as for the 'out of sync' problem....i never noticed or even saw it, so it wasnt really a problem. THE only problem i noticed was that they had cut Bullet in the Head out, i've seen the show on MTV2 when they played it, but its no-where to be seen on the DVD which is kind of a let down. Apart from that its got most of their greatest tracks, and they all sound fantastic. This is them at THEIR BEST, you wont be disappointed.

Rage are one of my favourate bands of all, time, I have loved them right since I heard them for the first time. But this DVD doesn't do them justice...

The music is amazing in the DVD. it's Rage's finest hour at performing live, but there is one huge problem...

This problem isn't in the band but in the DVD, as mentioned in someone elses review there is a time lag...

You hear the pounding and enthralling drumming of Brad Wilks but then you see his hands moving after they have been heard, The music is out of sync with the action, it is slightly ahead and very noticable. You see Zack de la Rocha's mouth moving after the words are heard and you see Tom Morello's hands moving after the guitar is heard.

As I said before, this is Rage in their finest hour musical wise but the out of sync in the video makes it a disapointment to watch ! BEWARE !!

Shoot the Editor.............2001-10-03

Don't get me wrong, I LOVE rage against the machine, bought the CD's, Seen them live etc etc...and it's because of this that you need to know that although the show it well shot, the music obviously superb, the problem lies in the fact that the DVD is out of sync!
There seems to be a one or two second time lag between the picture/sound which makes the whole event annoyingly unwatchable. you hear Zack's vocal 2 seconds after the words have left his lips.They attempt to go into slo-mo every now and again to be "arty" but it never works.
As well as the spectacularly inept editing, the Gig has been well and truly Censored to protect our delicate little ears from all that swearing.
Imagine what the end of Killing in the name would sound like..... AVOID!
Let's just hope they re form and shoot a better one.

Great early Johnny Cash.......2005-11-20

This is a real gem, despite its age, poor sound and picture quality. JC - 26 years old on the first concert and 27 on the second - just cuts through with his personality and his voice. Great fun to watch Luther and Marshal onstage too. Their stage presence differ greatly. Luther hardly moves, but still shows his quiet humourous nature, through his grimaces. Marshal bounces up and down with the beat. Johnny is in great voice, particularily on the first show, whereas he is more loose and a little hoarse on the second. But he really gets better and better as the second shows progresses. I have to agree with the other reviewer that the second show shows some difference in JC's lifestyle: On the first show he is more quiet and in control. On the second show he appears to be just a little high on something... Well, it still is magic to watch him! A must for all Cash-fans!

Johnny Cash - At The Town Hall Party.......2003-12-09

A must for the die-hard JC fan. In two parts the difference shows very much how his lifestyle changed. It's fascinating in the way the house band just sit watching procedures. It's a small catalogue of his very early material first filmed for distribution to US troops in Europe. Watch out for his great impersonation of Elvis.
