This is a special dvd for many reasons. First, the untimely death of Russell Jones (ODB) makes this to my knowledge the only video showcasing all 9 original members of the Wu-Tang Clan in concert. So in that respect, this is an instant HIP HOP classic and an instant collector's item. Second, the concert is bangin'. Although some of the classic songs are cut short, everyone gets to shine along with Cappadonna, Streetlife and even Redman shows up. Third, rap music today as a whole is wack...in my humble opinion. This dvd shows us all that hope for the culture is not entirely lost. These are real MCs and they with out a doubt wrecked the place and leave the viewer of the dvd as breathless and spent as I'm sure the people in the audience that night. Again, its a shame that there will never be another true "reunion" Wu-Tang Clan concert but we should appreciate the fact that on July, 15, 2004 in San Bernadino, CA - HISTORY WAS MADE and we have an opportunity to see it. WU TANG!! WU TANG!! WU TANG!!

All nine members are on this DVD. Just having ODB on stage makes this 5 stars. He wasn't at his craziest and he seemed tired and kind of depressed, but on the songs he performs you get into it. You get pumped up. This is a landmark DVD. You also get some insightful interviews. You can choose to watch the concert with the interviews or without them. There are some really funny moments with ODB too. Every Wu fan should get this, even for just the reason that all the members are here (including Cappadonna). One thing that disappointed me was that all the songs are cut short. That's fine on some songs, but the ones with ODB I would have liked to see complete. Oh well. It's still a great DVD. There is also a RZA video (Chi Kung) and a Masta Killa video (Old Man) in the extra features section. This DVD just gives a great feeling when watching it. It's not perfect but it's a piece of history. One thing that I don't understand is that it seems you are missing two songs if you watch the concert without interviews. I thought my DVD was messed up so I exchanged it for another, but the same thing happened. After the first chapter, it skips to the fourth. If you watch the concert with interviews it doesn't skip to the fourth chapter, but it pauses (like how a normal DVD pauses half way through to play the second side). I don't know why they would need to switch sides after only two minutes. Well anyway, it's a great DVD. Get it now...well what are you waiting for? Get it now! Long live the legend of Ol' Dirty Bastard, ODB, Russell Jones, Unique Ason, Big Baby Jesus, Dirt Dog, Dirt McGirt, Osirus, THE ONLY BLACK GOD WHO KEEPS PLANETS IN ORBIT!

If you want to see what made the Wu-Tang Clan such significant contributors to hip-hop, check out this DVD, you won't be disappointed. Classic material right here.

Great DVD released here. Shows them live here in California. This was recorded really well, and it shows ALL the songs live. Great quality and great footage of them. For 19.99, this DVD is WORTH IT big time. Also, if you choose, while you watch them, it shows little intermissions that shows various members of Wu-Tang talking about random things, the concert etc. Good DVD for Wu-Tang fans!!!!

The wu dvd is hot it had me hype through the whole thing I was singing along and all that.The concert overall was off the chain.This shows the power of the Wu when all the original members are on stage together. I've been a Fan since Day one.
Now they need to make a Wu-tang clan video dvd compilation with all the videos and and lots of bonus stuff.
R.I.P ODB

overall this DVD is pretty good but not worth the price. The special features only have a RZA video and a Cappadonna video with two lousy commercials added to them. The performances were pretty solid but ODB looks tired and restless as he sits on the speakers throughout the show. 34 songs were played on the setlist including the hits "Triumph", "Shimmy Shimmy Y'all", and "M.E.T.H.O.D Man", to name a few. This DVD is only intended for the hardcore Wu-Tang fan so if your expecting alot from this DVD then your best bet is to cop a used copy of this or borrow it from a friend.

This was the greatest concert I ever saw. Everytime I watch this dvd i can almost feel like I back there front row center. Is good to final be able to concentrate on the show instead of fight for my life in that crowd. I dvd doesn't show the entire Rock the Bells concert just when Wu-tang was on. A secret was they were late, (ODB did what to leave the hotel, I know because I stayed at the same hotel, even ran into RZA in the elevator and kicked it with some of Wu-Tang and their afiliate in the bar and plaza of the hotel) but because they were late and the venue was hot, hot, hot, the croud begain to chant "Fu@#$ Wu-Tang H20". I would do just about anything to re-live that day! An added bonous to when I bought this dvd was the picture inside the dvd case. Behind the dvd there is a picture of Method Man jumping into the croud. My face is the only one in focus, how frikin great is that!!!
