With that being said, this dvd is incredible, with little faults.The cinematography is absolutely brilliant.At times I felt like I was watching "The song remains the same'and 'ladies and gentlemen..'It's that good.The band does not perform like a 'band', but more like an arsenal.Luther Dickinsen (I spell that right?)does a wonderful job on guitar,making me forget about 'Mr. Ford'for a bit.Rich Robinson=PURE menace.Chris Robinson is simply put, ON POINT.My sister came in when this was on and she asked me 'Is that Jesus?'I said no, but he's got him in him.'The audio on this is simply awesome, between the 5.1 and the stereo, this is worth repeated viewings and simply a MUST HAVE.

VERY OUTSTANDING!!! This is a "super", outstanding concert performance by the Black Crowes, filmed on March 20, 2008, at the Wiltern Theater in Los Angeles. It features songs from their recent "WARPAINT" Album, performed "Live". Plus, as an extra bonus, you get Luther Dickinson (the lead singer/lead guitarist for the North Mississippi Allstars) playing guitar, including great slide guitar play. This concert contains 17 GREAT songs. It is great from beginning to the end. It has an approximate running time of 103 minutes.

Overall, this is an outstanding concert, showcasing the Black Crowes at their best. It's great to see Luther Dickinson in the line-up, playing guitar, including excellent slide guitar play. Rich is also a great guitarist, and Chris is great on lead vocals. The rest of the band is great also. This is a "must-have" for any Black Crowes fan, or any Southern Rock fan, or any Rock fan period!!! I'm certainly a big fan!!! I highly, gladly recommend this one. If you like rock & roll, you'll love every minute of this one!!! Thanks and Enjoy!!!

great quality dvd by the crowes again and a great performance. the only problem is that the dts audio option hiccups when you switch between songs. it looks like if you go to the dts option from the menu screen you should be ok. if you switch audio when your watching the dvd, you might get this problem. great show!! if you're a fan, get this!

I saw this show at The House Of Blues in Houston, Texas. Wonderful show. This DVD is almost as good as being at the show in person! If you are a Crowes fan this is a must have.

Best rock-n-roll band in the land, the Black Crowes are the past, present and and future. Thank you for 20 years and I pray for 20 more

While I am a big Black Crowes fan I have to say the Warpaint release is my least favorite. If you out there liked the the release than you should love the DVD. The BCs play all the songs live on stage.

If you are a fan of the Crowes you should own this. If you have never seen this band live I would recommend you buy this to see just how well they perform, and then I would recommend you go see them live. Any fan of good music will appreciate this, they never disappoint!

This is by far their BEST DVD too date.If you are a Black Crowes Fan,I would Highly Recommend purchacing this one!!!

I just received this DVD for my birthday, and it is just like seeing them live. I've seen them 4 times in the last 3 years with Luther & Adam....they make the Black Crowes better than they ever were. I love Warpaint, and this DVD gives you everything you want, including Steve Gorman as a marching band drummer on "God's Got It". You won't be disappointed...do yourself a favor and go see them live.

I stumbled across The Black Crowes by accident while looking for some decent live concert performances I could order. Some of their recent release studio material sounded good (in the 30 second online previews) so I took a punt and ordered Warpaint, as it was the only Black Crowes live performance I could get that wasn't Blueray.

I just played it at home for the first time and was devastated by their amateurish songs, basic instrumental ability and terrible sound mix, let alone the limited vocal skills of the lead singer(?). On the positive side, the video quality and stage lighting are excellent.

Suspecting it might have been my theatre system's sound settings, I changed over to Dolby Digital 5.1 (from DTS) and tweaked a few other things that I don't normally need to touch. The mix improved slightly but I still couldn't get over the lack of melody & tunefulness. And I can lay claim to having a varied and flexible taste in music (music being the operative word).

I'm not sure whether they've ever toured Australia, or plan to, but here's one who won't be lining up for tickets.

What a disappointment . . .
