(Some of the above songs are played acousticly; I have marked those that I remember being acoustic, including the acoustic-only Washington, D.C., show.)

I knocked off one star for a few reasons, partly because of the confusing "opening" title menu; I only saw it until after I finished playing the main live Toronto concert, not when the DVD first loaded.

It also would have been nice if the Reykjavik show (which is audio-only and has just a slideshow with pictures of the band) were also included in MP3 or a similar format. I doubt many people will play the DVD just to listen to the music without the video, so the ability to load it up an iPod or burn it to a CD would have been very nice.

Also in the Reykjavik show, when I select to play "Hey, Johnny Park!" the DVD plays "Low" instead.

If you like the Foo you'll likely enjoy all the live content on this DVD despite my few qualms with it. The songs on this DVD thankfully draw from all four Foo Fighter albums, and the band's energetic performance makes it a treat to watch and listen to.

The DVD will include footage from concerts in Iceland and Ireland as well as behind the scenes footage. Also included is an audio-only copy of their first concert ever in Reykjavik. Be sure to check it out!

DVD was recorded throughout their world tour, which began last year.
DVD extras are 2 photo galleries, several short films and 45 minutes of further tour footage included as hidden "Easter egg" extras.

Also, free with the dvd is live cd recorded in iceland.

I really do not understand the all the negative reviews being posted. I believe this concert DVD nails everything into a great package that I find myself watching over and over:
1. great set list
2. incredible musicianship
3. great mix (stereo and 5.1)
4. great camera work (makes you feel like you're there)
Above all, Mr. Grohl and Co. appear to be having the time of their lives and truly seem to appreciate their fans. The feeling is, and always will be, mutual. Rock on.

Navigating this DVD is confusing as hell. Aside from that, the music is great, video quality is excellent. Audio on DC and Slane is awful...it's like someone has turned the volume up to 11 on a bad little boom box. All in all, though, it's jam packed with good Foo stuff.

DID ANYONE ELSE NOTICE THE "BONUS" CONCERT? I was copying the contents of the DVD into iTunes so I could view it on my iPod, and I found and extra section on the disc containing 35 minutes of concert footage in Ireland...Dave's got a button-down green shirt on, and he keeps talking about The Hives in between songs...the footage is not mentioned or listed anywhere on the DVD's menu, and not accessible using a DVD player, or DVD playing software on the computer...it's weird.

The Good:
1. It's the Foos. 2. It's 3 Hours of the Foos Live 3. It's a cheap DVD considering the content 4. It's worth the asking price just for the acoustic section alone!

The Bad:

1. The 5.1 Mix is horrible and make's Dave (Grohl) sound like he's singing in the bath (Stick to the Stereo track) 2. Half of the content is an "audio only" concert which covers nearly all of the same tracks as the video content, which is a disappointment!

The Unforgiveable:

1. After waiting so long for this DVD, i'm left feeling it could have been so much better 2. It doesn't convey the raw power and joy of seeing the Foos live, due to the soundtrack.

These coments may seem harsh, but when you see DVD concerts such as Joe Satriani live in San Francisco, then you know what could have been.

If you like Foo Fighters you will love this DVD.

If you want perfect vocals or a technically flawless performance, don't waste your time here (or any real live show for that matter). But, if you want a great live experience on DVD this is where to look. The set list is great and you can really feel the audience exude energy.

The audio only concert included should be treated as a bonus since the Toronto conert is the primary draw. You can't really knock the band for packing the DVD full of content.

Highly recommended.

This dvd is one of the best dvds i own now. I loved the Toronto concert. Anyone that has this dvd, whatch Taylor Hawkins on the song "Monkey Wrench". He does one of the best solos i have ever seen. The only diapointment I had was the other places were only slide shows with pictures in the background. Iwanted a concert. They also didnt put a backstage scene where they talked to the band. Overall, I feel this dvd is GREAT!!!

I felt like I was THERE. I even got other people to purchase it who were also with me at the store where I purchased it. I have to say I haven't finished ALL of it yet because I loaned it to my friend and her husband and they don't wanna give it back!
I watched it on a HUGE TV with total surround sound and you could hear it from 4 houses away. But you can't help it because as soon as you put in the DVD, the concert STARTS. So you get into it right away. None of this waiting around with your remote control for the DVD waiting to press the select and play buttons, etc. Like I said, it was like we were there. The camera work was very good as well. The close ups on Taylor and lengthened and/or alternate versions were at times "mesmerizing".

Anyway, I have always loved the band, now I do even more because they seem to really care about what fans want, and they delivered just that! This is my new favorite DVD!

Drummers RULE!

I love the Foo Fighters to death but this DVD just didn't do it for me. The live concert in Toronto (which takes up most of the live footage) just didn't have very good sound quality. Also, as others have mentioned, half of the live songs are "audio-only", accompanied by a slow-moving slideshow of concert photos. Why?! Finally, I think it would have added a lot to the DVD if some other bonus materials like interviews, footage of the band not on stage, and their song videos were included. Overall it was definitely a disappointment...better production next time?!

Foos are much better live than in studio, and it's about time they released a live DVD. Over three hours of music. I wish the Iceland show had video too, but meh. What are you gonna do? Instead it displays still photos like Led Zep's How the West Was Won. The Toronto show was awesome, as were the other two.
