On the main menu, highlight "Gigante Especiale" and press right. It will highlight a picture of Chuck and it will say "Let Chuck Choose". This easter egg just randomizes clips from the DVD and chooses one at random. The next on is in the bonus features menu. There will be a long list of options in the special features menu. Scroll to the very bottom past the last choice. It will highlight a hidden "421". While the 421 is highlighted, press right 4 times, down 2 times, and left once. It will take you to a 10 min feature of Brandon Boyd meditating while trippy things go on in the background.

to access the story boards for the most recent vids like pardon me, stellar and drive. all you have to do is to go to the videos selection screen and chose one of the videos and when it starts press the subtitle button and it will bring up the basic art work story board for that vid

Buy this DVD. Enough said. It is worth any amount of money, for the buyer will truly see what makes a great band; one that isn't pre-packaged by the corporate world. This DVD harnesses Incubus' true originality to the fullest and also shows why they are one of the best live bands to come on the scene ever. Although watching the DVD cannot totally make someone comprehend the power and spiritual awesomeness of their live show, it will give the viewer an excellent idea of what and how music should sound like. Not to mention the countless "Extra Love" packed into this amazing DVD. Definant recommendation to any fan of music, true music.

Any Incubus fan should own this DVD, lets get that out of the way. With all their videos, including unreleased ones (you'll soon notice why if you watch them), a FULL, [rockin] concert from the Sno-Core tour complete with little home movie add ins. Plus, the middle eastern sounding instrumental with System of a Down frontman Serj...something...is just amazing, totally blew me away. Plus, 4 songs from a Chicago performance when Brandon had dreds and Dirk had a shaved head-totally destroyed the place. Behind the scenes, album lists, even their hilarious Mad TV performance of Pardon Me. A few mistakes though-for example they list Make Yourself as released in 2000, and I can't seem to find the live performance of Stellar, but still the extra features more than make up for it. GO BUY IT.

This DVD is of Incubus on the Sno Core tour with System Of A Down (Serj makes an apperance in one song), Mr. Bungle, and others. This is what to watch if you want to see what Incubus can do in concert. The thing that makes me like them so much is the way they mix things up. They're not afraid to do an extended version of a song, or change up the lyrics somewhat. Another reason this is such a good DVD is because of the little scenes in between a few songs. It really shows you that Incubus really do love what they do, and have a good time doing it. I really like how they mixed show clips too, it's interesting to see how they can change from show to show. Also, their song choices couldn't have been better. They play all of my favorite songs from S.C.I.E.N.C.E. and Make Yourself. They also play them perfectly, Brandon shows that he doesn't need vocal help like some lead singers do nowadays. Mike gets to show how good he is at playing guitar on here too, he really is amazing. The band as a whole prove that they are one of the better bands to see live. The sound quality by the way is really good, especially if you have surround sound.

Just a few of the best songs are Favorite Things, Pardon Me, The Warmth, and Redefine. Like I said though, every song is great, there is no song on here I would change. I reccommend this DVD to any Incubus fan in search of a good DVD of them. The extras alone are worth the price though (there is a TON), so pick it up for a great performance from a spectacular band.

I am a HUGE Incubus fan, and to see them play is even better than just listening. Their music ranges from jazzy to melodic tracey to hip-pop to hard rock to slow and thoughtful [excuse me if you disagree!!]...and I think that's what makes them so appealing--this versatility to play a wide variety of music. If you are a fan, this is definitely something to buy...and if you're not a fan, or you don't think you like them, give them a shot. The DVD contains several of their music videos, even some from S.C.I.E.N.C.E. [which is cool to me since I had never seen them before I got this!] There are tons of extras on this DVD, as well as killer acoustic versions and tons of live songs. It amazes me at the level of talent in these guys. Awesome!!

There are really too many adjectives to express Incubus' work, especially on this DVD. While some people would brand their style of music as "weird," I simply state them as one of the most original and talented bands out. Their live concert in Chicago had me feeling like I was actually at the concert, but I was more impressed with their Unplugged sessions. They did a great job doing acoustic versions of hard songs 'The Warmth' and 'Certain Shade of Green', which I really thought was impossible to do.
Everyone is used to seeing lead singer Brandon Boyd go 'nuts' in his performances...but it is no secret that he has an amazing voice. I advise Incubus fans to buy this DVD (as well as the Morning View Sessions...but that's another review), and to you non-Incubus fans out there--start listening to their music.

This DVD is worth paying double. Its amazing. Perfect. These five men are the most wonderful and creative men you will ever see or hear. All throughout this DVD, the smile never left my face. The pure joy of just watching it is extrodinary. I loved every second of it. I have been to some Incubus concerts and they were phenomenal. So if you can't make it to one of their live shows, this is definately the next best thing.
If you like Incubus as much as I do, you will die when you watch this. Buy it. Watch it. Love it.

This DVD totally gives you a look into the personal side of the band members, as well as giving you all of the goodies that you want, such as the music videos for "Stellar," "Pardon Me," and "Drive." You also get the music videos for "Summer Romance," and "Miss You," and after watching them you know why you never saw them on MTV or anywhere else for that matter; however it's a bittersweet addition to the DVD. Along with all of the live performances you get brief home video footage as well. It's also really fun to watch the creative juices flow in the behind the scenes look for the videos of "Drive" and "Stellar." This is definately a best buy for an Incubus fan, and a maybe for someone that enjoys this type of music. You can watch the DVD over and over again just for the videos and the live performances, not to mention all the other stuff that is hanging around in the menus.

First of all this is a good DVD though there are some downsides to it. For instance as someone else mention you have to click a lot of things individually so it gets obnoxious. For instnace if you go into the index (which plays this god-awful noise over and over and over and over (you get the idea)) and click on the acoustic tracks, some of them will play just that song, some will play all the acoustic tracks-it's just really crazy. To keep this short and sweet I will say this: If you like Incubus then get the DVD, but if your looking for something that can go on in the background without you having to keep clicking stuff well then maybe this one isn't for you (but buy it anyway!)

the 421 option on the extra love section is a meditation session with brandon. in order to view this, you gotta select 421, then, using the directional arrows on the dvd remote, press the right one 4 times, the bottom one twice and the left one once, and voila there you go lol

p.s. this dvd kicks .......if you dont have it, buy it!
