Get Your Buzz On Live, May 2, 2010
Van Halen alumni Sammy Hagar and Michael Anthony, Red Hot Chili Pepper Chad Smith and guitar god Joe Satriani - collectively known as Chickenfoot - released their self-titled debut album last year and now comes their first live DVD. Shot in HD with 16 cameras in Phoenix, AZ at The Dodge Theater on September 23rd, 2009, Get Your Buzz On Live is an absolute must see! The 13-song set features all but one of the songs from their CD (`Runnin' Out' is missing) as well as `Bitten By The Wolf' - a track exclusive to the vinyl version. Treating the fans to something special, `Down The Drain' is returned to its original jam session format and Hagar straps on the guitar for `Future In The Past'. The `Foot also rock out Sammy's old Montrose classic `Bad Motor Scooter', in addition to The Who's `My Generation' - which ends with Smith smashing his drum kit to pieces in true Keith Moon style. The light show is superb, the performance is punchy and energetic; rock `n roll doesn't get any more genuine than this. Perhaps the most remarkable part of the concert is how much fun these four are having on stage. The smiles on their faces are proof positive of the enjoyment Chickenfoot generates. Then comes the hour-long bonus documentary. In a word: hilarious. Chad takes to the streets, conducting rogue interviews with the unsuspecting public. Sammy drives a Smart Car to visit former Grateful Dead singer Bob Weir at home. Michael and Adam Carolla of The Man Show share chicken wings while Spinal Tap's Nigel Tufnel interrogates Satriani. Add to that footage of Chickenfoot visiting and performing at The Rock `N Roll Hall Of Fame in Cleveland, OH as well as clips from a gig in Atlanta, GA and a photo gallery. Topping it all off is a 16-page black and white booklet. Much more than just a souvenir from the show, Get Your Buzz On Live truly brings home the magic.

Well Above and Beyond Expectations, May 5, 2010
Picked this up yestereday and I was literally blown away. Just absolutely fantastic. The Sound was incredible and the camera work and angles provided for the concert were amazing. IMO it was the best Concert DVD I have ever seen. Seeing this in HD....Sa-weet.
I am a Huge 'Foot fan, so I am bound to be biased about the group itself, but the production of the concert was breathtaking.
Any disappointments? One: "Running Out", was not included in the concert. My one negative is related to what was NOT included rather than what was shown.
The boys were simply electric on stage and I have NEVER seen a band performing live, that looks like they are having this much fun and the times of their lives, as Sammy, Joe, Michael and Chad were. They displayed the energy and enthusiasm of kids in their early 20's. Nothing forced or robotic or scripted about the concert. Simply emotional energy.
The Behind the Scenes piece was equally amazing. And I DEFY anyone here, to hold back any amount of laughter when they see Chad do his impression of Sammy........ Aerobizing, to "Get It Up".
I literally thought I was going to wet my pants.
An absolute MUST HAVE for anyone who is a 'Foot fan.

Sheer Energy.. get on your Bad Motor Scootor and ride!!!!, June 2, 2010
This review is from: Chickenfoot: Get Your Buzz On - Live [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray)
The more I watch this video the better it gets. Michael Anthony's bass licks are punchier than ever and Joe Satriani never sounded better. I've got all the Wabarita DVD's and this one "kicks ass" with cleaner sound separation and better live mix than they do. Crank it up and feel the energy!! I've got over 130 quality concert (standard) dvd and blu-ray and despite this not having a true HD or master audio hd sound-it is still impressive and worthy of a 5 star review for the sheer joy of the energy in the show, culminating with drummer Chad Smith's tearing up his drum set ala Keith Moon on the encore of My Generation.90 minute set is as much as you need to get your BUZZ on!!! It's so much fun it's STUPID!!
