This DVD is 4 hours of pure bliss. It features the Live On St. Patrick's Day concert, except for the songs Which Side Are You On, Fortunate Son, Dirty Water, and Nutty (Bruin's Theme). The mini-feature film "65 Days Of Hell" gives you an idea of what life is like on the road for the DKM's. You might be disappointed in the sound quality of some of the live shows featured in this film, but it's worth taking a look at. In the feature called "Labor Day Documentary", you'll hear the DKM's perform an acoustic version of Boys On The Docks. This DVD also features most of their music videos from "Barroom Hero" to "Gonna Be A Blackout". There's more, but I'll leave you to find out what else on it.

Dropkick Murphys play an amazing combination of loud hard angry music with bagpipes thrown in for good measure. :)

I realize that I am most likely much older than their normal fan base. So that goes to show you that they can appeal to all ages. You don't have to be a kid to like this band. You just have to have a rebellious streak, like I do, at times. It definitely comes out when I watch or listen to this band. They are loud and fun.

The St. Patrick's day concert alone is worth the purchase of this dvd. Buy this dvd. You may be pleasantly surprised, like I was the first time that I heard this band. :)

This is the best band dvd i have ever seen in my life. the dropkick murphys are my favorite band of all time. its just so cool how they take what the pogues were doing and take it to another level with the extreme streetpunk guitar riffs. The concert footage of the St. Paddys Day concert is terrific, it really shows you how much spirit and fun there is in going to a dkm concert. the music videos are great as well, you can only see the "gonna be a blackout" music video on the dvd that comes with blackout and this dvd. you cannot find it anywhere on the internet. i also love the 'black and gold' documentary because it shows how dkm is loyally dedicated to the boston bruins. overall, this is just a great concert dvd and a great collectors item for any dkm fan or streetpunk fan or just someone with lots of irish-american pride.

The Dropkick Murphys are brash, crude, loud and funny as hell. This DVD manages to capture all of that as it documents their appearance on the 2003 Warped tour. A million bands are releasing live DVD's that are nothing more than glorified video footage of a live concert, but this DVD is chocked full of extras that makes it well worth the price of admission. Remember when you and you're friends sat around drinking, smoking and watching those Pantera home videos? They were funny as hell, weren't they? This DVD reminded me of that. There is a full 22-song set, all the band's music videos and a feature of them on the road entitled '64 Days of Hell' all contained on 1 disc. Most bands would have kept the concert footage and the backstage hi-jinx separate just so that they can release 2 discs and reap more cash but not in this case. Honestly if you are a Dropkick fan then you need to own this DVD because it has everything you'll ever need. If you're not a fan; shut the hell up, grab a beer and watch this, because you will become one.

Wow... I have been watching this dvd for like two days off and on, 4 hours of content... awsome music... I MUST GO TO A DROPKICK SHOW!

Lets hear it for the angry roadies!!

I've been a fan of DKM ever since I heard their demo version of Barroom Hero on the Give 'EM The Boot disc the day that cd came out. I've been to tons of DKM show, met and hung out with the band many times and i'm the street team leader for my area (which has been great fun). On The Road is 2 years in the making and it was well worth the LONG wait. I do however have a few complaints:
1. I have a Toshiba dvd player and the disc DOES NOT play in it. It's a older dvd player but it's quite odd that it doesn't seem to play in there. Luckly I have a PS2. 2. NO DC WARPED TOUR FOOTAGE. Almost ever show is featured except for DC. I would've loved to see some footage from that show and was hoping that i'd see myself or some friends on there including my friend who the band always let sing Time To Go. 3. Though I really can't complain about much else on the dvd I did have my hopes set on seeing some even older footage from the Do Or Die/Gangs All Here era. The band said 2 years ago there would be footage of that but there is none. I would've been nice to have some old footage with Mike and Rick. 4. The St. Patrick's Day show is cool but it's the same from the live album yet a few songs (Which Side Are You On?, Nutty, and Dirty Water are left off). Original plans were to feature more than one full show from St. Patrick's Day Weekend in 2002 and 2003.
I don't wanna sound ungreatful because there is plenty of stuff on this dvd to enjoy but I was hoping for some of that stuff mentioned. It's a great dvd and one of the most jam packed dvds out there and a great buy. BTW...anyone know how to find the hidden Easter Eggs/bonus footage?

Boston punk rock at it's best! I've been a fan of them since 97 and I love this band, and this DVD is a must own. Over 4 hours long!

The live show is from the 2002 St Patty Day weekend shows. It's the same track list as the live CD (minus "Which Side Are You On?") Very Cool.

"65 Days in Hell" is a mini-movie shows the band traveling around the country on last year's Warped Tour. I had no idea the band was so funny. I like Ken and Al's pre-show slap fights.

"Behind the Scenes" pretty much speaks for itself. They show the guys on their European and Japan tour. They have a "Jackass" type segment where they show the band playing pranks on each other and stuff. They also show the band playing some of the Blackout songs in Providence.

"Black & Gold" shows the band playing after the Bruins game last Fall and talking about the Bruins. I think it was produced by NESN.

"Labor Day Documentary" shows the band playing at some Pro-Union rally and singing on the picket line. They also play acoustic versions of "Boys On The Docks" and "Which Side Are You On?" at the AFL-CIO.

They also have all of the band's videos. From "Barroom Hero" to "Gonna Be a Blackout".

The only complaint I have about the DVD (why I didn't give it 5 stars) doesn't involve the content. It has to do with how it was set up. In most DVD's they give you a tracklist insert so that you can skip around to what you want to see. They give a songlist, but it's all out of order. Other than that, this DVD rocks my socks.

This DVD is packed with tons of footage. All of their videos, behind the scenes antics, stories from the road, slap fights and toilets that "shoot" back. I paid $13.99 for this gem, and I feel like I owe the band a couple more bucks. You will not be disappointed with it. I had the privilege to be in the audience for their Providence show that they feature in the "behind the scenes" portion of the DVD. It was great to relive that show. A great show indeed. My 3 year old son started a 1 man pit in front of the TV, during that segment. If you were a casual fan before this DVD, you'll soon be an avid fan of the Dropkick Murphys after you watch it. Well worth the wait; now wait no longer and buy it!

If you like DKM this is a must have !A great insight to a great band .I`m an old guy and i love this !Get it !
