Editorial Reviews

The music of the Dave Matthews Band may speak for itself, but there's a whole lot else to talk about on this 12-song video anthology. Of course, there are the songs themselves and their uniformly eye-catching, effects-laden videos, ranging from 1995's "What Would You Say" (title notwithstanding, there's nothing here from '94) to 2001's "The Space Between." But it's the extras that make this DVD package special. You can view Matthews's lyrics onscreen while the video plays; you can listen to the comments of the various directors, an option normally found on feature film DVDs; and there's even 15 minutes of "behind the scenes" footage of the videos in production. Add to that a menu that lists each clip's premiere date, running time, and album of origin, and The Videos: 1994-2001 is a classy, complete item both for Matthews fans and for music video aficionados in general. --Sam Graham

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Fun. A good collection of songs, November 28, 2002

By	brent (missouri) - See all my reviews

In a way, this is DMB's greatest hits. All of these songs were hits, and putting the videos togehter was Dave's way of releasing these "greatest hits." The result is great, because these videos are truly amazing. From the visual wonder of "Crash Into Me" to the fun, summer-y feel of "Stay" to the live clips in "Tripping Billies" and the cool effects in "I Did it," this DVd delivers on all levels. All 12 videos have director commentary, and there are behind the scenes fueatures on "Don't Drink the Water," "Stay" and "I Did It." This DVD is worht buying. The songs are great, and the quality is very good, with optional lyrics at the bottom.

What Would You Say- (10 of 10)- A very cool debut video. It features the now famous firedancer. It's a good song and the video is funky, just like the song. It is very good.

Ants Marching (10 of 10)- This video is the worst video on here. It is simply boring, but the song is great, and this is the first ever Dave video I saw, so I love it.

Satellite- (10 of 10)- This is a great song with an interesting video that makes me want to go and blow bubbles. It's a cool video.

Too Much (10 of 10)- This is a very cool video, too. It is just plain funky. The song is great, too.

So Much to Say- (10 of 10)- This video is cool to watch. There is a very cool scene with two Dave's! What could be better than two Dave's!

Crash Into Me (11 of 10)- By far their best video. It is so clever, and I love the shot of Stefan with the bass with his hand reaching out. The colors, the lyrics, the music, everything about this video is great.

Tripping Billies (10 of 10)- This video is very cool. It shows the listener what is great about their live shows. The song is packed with power, and by the end of the video, you feel like you just watched a live show. Very cool.

Don't Drink the Water (10 of 10)- This is a very cool vidoe, as well. I love Dave's head, and Boyd in dressed in the violins. The only problem is that ths song was cut short by several minutes. This song is so good, and I wish it was the whole thing that got released.

Stay (11 of 10)- Another of my favorite videos. It is such a fun video. From the barber to the dancing chick with the big head, to the band playing in white tuxedos, it is just a great video and a great song.

Crush (10 of 10)- Like "Don't Drink the Water" this song, too was cut short when it was released. It is still a great song, and the video is very cool. It captures the mood of the song very well, with the black and white, and I love the part with the tiled floor. Cool video.

I Did it (10 of 10)- Cool video, not so cool song. This song is weak, but the video has cool effects and some fuky scenes. It is a cool video. Don't get me wrong, the song isn't bad, it's just not their best.

The Space Between (10 of 10)- Pretty cool video. I like the rain int he end, especially on the drum. It is pretty cool, and I love the song. Along with "Everyday" and "When the World Ends" its the strongest song off of "Everyday."

The only thing I don't like about this DVD is that it doesn't add videos as Dav'e career progresses. I miss not having "Everyday" and "Where are you Going." Someday, they'll hopefully release another one. This DVD is well worth the money, and is fun to watch over and over.

5.0 out of 5 stars It's about time, August 13, 2001

By	travis price (Hutchinson, KS) - See all my reviews

It's about time the band has made such a video collection; I have been waiting for this DVD a couple years now. I think DVDs of our favorite bands are better than a greatest hits CD, because it offers all of us the opportunity to hear the same great music we are used to getting, along with some of the most creative videos on TV today. The essence of each video lies within of the great music created by the Dave Matthews Band; each video tells its own story, which has an artistic style unmatched by any other band around today. I say the DVD is a must have for any fan.

5.0 out of 5 stars Come and relax now . . ., December 5, 2002

By	M.P. (Ottawa, Ontario) - See all my reviews

Well what can I say about this DVD that hasn't already been said. How about this. I have read three books on the band, own all of their CDs, travelled countless kilometers to see them live and read about them on the net all the time. The fact is I still learned some new stuff about the band during this DVD. The director commentaries are just perfect. The are informative, funand fact-filled. There are some really interesting perspectives on the band as a whole and their approach to shooting a video. The directors are really interesting people as well and it is funny to watch them relate to the wacky antics of Dave. (i.e. “So I just kept saying things to him like, ‘Pretend there are birds flying at your head, the floor is made of Jell-O!’ Hilarious!) The fact you can se the lyrics on the screen with the video is wonderful for my roommate (who has a tendency to sing along really loud with the wrong lyrics)! The lyrics are superimposed in a way that really doesn’t detract from the colour or feel of the video. I hate to admit it but it is kind of a cool feature despite the fact my initial reaction was, “Who would need lyrics to Dave songs?” The behind the scenes extras are kind of cool, one of them is rather weak. I won’t say which one in case you feel differently, but you could really tell it was shot before DVDs really carried features like it! I (like many Dave fans) am not too thrilled by the song I Did It, but the video and making of feature are really enjoyable to watch. All in all a good buy! However, I will have to rate it as a 4.9999999999999997 because my girlfriend found a typo in the lyrics within the first 20 minutes. However, we played it for almost three hours the first night we had it and we will be watching it over and over and over no doubt. So if you are a fan of movies, videos and the Dave Matthews Band check it out! It has a little bit of all of these in it along with a lot of fun mixed in!
