This DVD includes only the live concert. Get the other 3 disc edition instead which includes the same live concert, plus a behind the scenes documentary and other extras PLUS a live audio CD of 7 of the live songs!

They (the record company) really blew it by not including the extras with this DVD. Instead, they hadto release 2 different packages, this one and the other edition which costs more. That said, this one is a total waste of money and if you are a Depeche Mode fan at all, you would do well to get the special edition instead. Unless you don't want the extras.

Both the Audio and Video quality of this DVD is very good. I saw this tour twice (once at The Joint @ The Hardrock Hotel Las Vegas and the second time in the parking lot of the Hardrock a few months later). This DVD brings the concert back home and even allowed me to see certain visuals unseen live.

As for whether or not to get this or the 3 disc version... my thoughts are as follows: Both editions have the 122 minute concert in it's entirety. I don't need a behind the scenes documentary and the CD that comes with the other edition is a waste of time and money. I simply ripped the entire concert into AIFF format and converted to mp3 for use on my iPod. Why have a CD with 7 songs when you can make your own live soundtrack with them all.

I've seen Depeche Mode live, and it pains me to say that watching the DVD isn't nearly as entertaining as being there live. That much is to be assumed, of course, but the camera work on this DVD is absolutely terrible, and it really does hurt the final product. The song selection is great, the audio quality is fine, but they can't seem to hold the same camera angle for more than five seconds at a time, and it almost makes you dizzy.

If you want to just have this on in the background while you're doing something else, it's great, but if your intention is to watch it and pretend you're in the audience... good luck.

Please do not fall in the same trap as many,this is the dvd only release format.

You should buy the 3 disc set listed under AUDIO which contains the 2 dvd full concert plus extras plus audio cd !

It is not much more expensive than this version and is the result of a marketing feux paix

ok first off, be prepared... martin l. gore is getting old, and starting to look it. heart breaking.

second thing...well they edited it to look a bit like a music video, at first it fealt too over produced to me, but now i hardly notice.

a must buy for DM fans

This is one of the best concert videos I have ever seen. My sister saw the show in San Antonio and she raved about the whole show....so since I could not make it to one myself, this is the next best thing.

They also perform a lot of early songs and the entire set list does not disappoint. The outfit worn by Gore is awesome and Dave is as good as ever. I cannot say it enough, if you like or love Depeche Mode...this is a must buy!!!!

Fantastic show,

Fantastic songs,

Fantastic Depeche Mode,

but... bad video and bad taste editing!!!

Bueno,este es un muy buen material, el audio y las imagenes muy bien editadas, ademas contiene las mejores canciones de DM en su trayectoria, para los fanaticos es un material que debe estar en su coleccion.

Ademas trae consigo dentro del DVD un librito con buenas fotos como para ponerlas en algun sitio memorable.

Del 1 al 10 le pongo 9.

From the outside to the inside it is a great quality dvd. The package was nice and great and there are very nice pictures from the concert!

The music quality is amazing as well as the edition. Although it is a different edition format from the other Depeche dvds it is still good. I felt like they wanted us to feel a new Depeche Mode experience, how the fans felt and how did Depeche feel on stage because there are a lot of closeups and special effects. And the best thing, it has the best of the best from Depeche Mode songs it is like feeling the 80s, 90s, and the 2000 period of the group!!! I totally recommend the dvd!

This is by far the most enjoyable dvd by DM. Yes i am sure that Devotional DVD and Exciter DVD were great but in terms of denstiy and powerful, it seems that this dvd is better, Anton is great for making music video but i don't think he is good for live performance as the camera angels in Devotional DVD and Exciter DVD looked plain and focus too much on the screens and stage (which he designed). Yes, i agreed with other reviewers that there're a bit too much of effect on this

dvd but that's the way of making live dvd nowadays.

However, i have to admit that the performace of 'Personal jesus','Enjoy the silence' and 'Never let me down again' these 3 all times in set list in this dvd aren't better than the versions in Exciter dvd which more enjoyable.

Great tracks : A question of time,Policy of truth,Behind the wheel,World in my eye and Walking in my shoes

Highlight : Just can't get enough and Everything counts (Remind me how great these old synth pop songs can be grown and sound so much fresh after 25 years).
