5.0 out of 5 stars This DVD is incredible!, September 9, 2005

So I actually own this dvd (which is odd since it doesn't come out til 10/4/05), and it is incredible! It is an absolutely amazing performance. All it needs is a scratch-n-sniff box that smells of smoke and beer and you'd think you were actually there. The video quality is stunning. The audio is unbelievable. Thick raunchy fuzz tones (as one might expect), and of course Patrick brutally assaults his drum kit like some kind of maniac. It is so good, I caught myself wanting to applaude and go nuts after most songs (as if I were actually there). Now I am using a pretty decent home theatre setup w/ a powered sub, so results may vary slightly. But you will surely have your socks rocked off.

I almost forgot to mention, this dvd also has music videos for 10AM Automatic and Set You Free, a great interview with the guys, and a live photo gallery. Oh, and the song that plays during the main menu is really funky and good. I haven't heard it before. Some kind of jam they must have done.

Dan is so "on" with his gee-tar, it makes you sick. Seriously, the guy is so talented. Rock critics are going to go nuts when this dvd hits the streets in October. Patrick kills it on the drums, but Dan is the frontman and his performance really stands out. The stars and planets must have been aligned that night in Australia...

I just want to say thanks to Dan and Patrick for putting out a dvd of such great quality. I have daily cravings for the Black Keys rocked-out-thick-fuzz-goodness, and this dvd more than satisfies them (at least until they come back to Chicago so I can see them live).

4.0 out of 5 stars If you are a fan, this is a treat, December 22, 2006

This review is from: The Black Keys Live (DVD)

I have to disagree with the reviewer who said that the picture on this concert was distracting and that the extras were great. I've watched this DVD a number of times, and I would actually say the exact opposite, and not just to be a contrarian, or to confuse people who haven't seen it yet. I tend to be very fickle about video and sound quality of live performance DVDs, even if I love the band. If you like The Black Keys, primarily their stuff prior to the album Magic Potion, you'll like this DVD [interestingly, it was driving me crazy until I realized that the menu music was a song from Magic Potion that was not in the concert]. Not too much in the way of extras [a short interview, photo montage and two videos], but excellent footage of an excellent band. I wouldn't necessarily say that if you didn't know The Black Keys that this would make you an instant fan, but it is an excellent representation of them in concert with excellent sound quality and picture [not blurry or hectic]. Naturally, I do like The Black Keys, so this is a treat. You get plenty of music for the money too. On a side note, I found a new found respect for Dan's guitar skills. It doesn't even look like he uses a pick to make all that heavy, distorted blues. Excellent band. Excellent video.

I got this as one of my husband's stocking stuffers. He's already a big Black Keys fan and he loves to watch music DVDs. He really liked it and seems to enjoy watching it.
