Let me provide a little context. I am an old guy, in my early 60s. I grew up with rock and have never lost my passion for it. For decades my favorite band was Yes. A number of years ago they were deposed by Mike Scott and the Waterboys. The Flower Kings had some time in the spotlight and there were probably others, like Brian Wilson and eels that hovered at or near the top. Earlier this year however I became completely besotted by Matt Bellamy and Muse. Their live CDs were incredible. I thought there would be some stability at the top of my list, but it was not to be.
I have been a big fan of Airborne since their first CD came out. I happen to regard Sometime Around Midnight as one of the top five or so songs ever put together.
Then along came this DVD. The first thing that jumps out at me about it is that the title song, All I Ever Wanted, is fully the equal of Midnight, something I never considered possible. It is poetic, gargantuan, fragile and has perhaps the greatest buildup of grandeur and passion from start to finish that I have ever heard in my life.
This DVD left me crying. It is so extraordinary, not just for the wonderful music played absolutely perfectly, but for the insight into the folks in the band. The more I learn about Mikell Jollett, the more I regard him as one of the most brilliant folks on earth. Have you ever read any of his writing? He's a magnificent writer who kind of reminds me of David Foster Wallace. He was well along writing his first novel, aided by a healthy advance from a major publishing house, when his personal life just collapsed and he decided to switch to music. In a way, their first CD can be viewed as a soundtrack for a novel, which would be a first. Mikell is very new to music, which is hard to believe. He brings a brilliant melodic sense, a great gift for lyrics, a magnificent and powerful voice, an incredibly emotional presentation and one of the greatest smiles on earth. Check out the moment when the grade school choir gets their first ovation from the audience and Mikell turns back to look at them with this amazing smile. They all seem like marvelous people and their musicianship is breathtaking, especially if you consider the Calder Quartet to be a real part of the group, which I do.
To my ears and eyes this is the most powerful and wonderful music DVD I have ever seen. It would serve as a perfect introduction to the band, which is now, I must admit, my favorite in all the world. I beg everyone reading this to check this out. YouTube has a clip up from the DVD of the band doing All I Ever Wanted. If you can resist that overwhelming piece of music, you should watch it again.
I will stop now. Enjoy.

The Airborne Toxic Event All I Ever Wanted live dvd is a monumental simply epic audio visual masterpiece that combines an orchestra, choir, dancers live band and many more unforgettable moments and songs captured perfectly on film. Everything was thought out and executed seamlessly and perfect. The band went above and beyond and made sure every little detail every note was done the best it possibly can be. Watch it and see for yourself. Simply sonic fury simply epic!

I just finished watching the Blu Ray and I'm totally blown away.
TATE are known not only for their music, but for their devoted fans as well. Anyone watching this film will come away with a better understanding of both. The performance in this unique venue for a rock show is a testament to the musicianship of this group of talented artists. They fill the stage and the auditorium.
But the film is about more than the music. TATE's fans are so devoted because Mikel, Anna, Steven, Darren, and Noah are genuine reluctant rock stars. They are the underdogs who won the big game, who love every minute of their fame not for the adulation but because they can share their joy. They smile while they perform. They bring the local high school marching band and children's choir on-stage with them. They appreciate that the audience has come to see them, because they can hardly believe it themselves.
I saw TATE live in Boston in April, 2009. This film captures the same energy and the same connection between the band and the audience that I felt at the show. If you're a fan, you won't be disappointed. If you're not a fan, you will be won over.
