3.0 out of 5 stars Great DVD but it is in PAL format, not NTSC. False labeling., June 6, 2008

By	K. Janowiak "spicoli916" (Sacramento, CA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Live: Architecture & Morality and More (DVD)

I'm a big OMD fan. I was excited when this was finally released in the U.S. Come to find out however it did not play in my Sony DVD player. It plays on my computer however. After closer inspection with my software on my computer I discovered that the contents on the DVD are in PAL format (which does not play on U.S. players) not NTSC format like the box and DVD says. Beware. It's a great DVD just not compatible with U.S. players.


***Review Update*** After a few e-mails back and forth to Eagle Rock they sent me a brand new copy of the OMD live DVD and it now plays perfect in my DVD player. For my troubles they also sent me another DVD of my choice from their catolog free of charge.

5.0 out of 5 stars Dream come true for die-hard OMD fans, May 17, 2008

By	D. Hentze (Staten Island via NJ) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Live: Architecture & Morality and More (DVD)

I was lucky enough to preview a couple of songs from this upcoming DVD, and all I can say is "WOW"! I can't wait for the DVD to see the rest of them. OMD has never sounded better. I never thought I'd see the day Paul and Andy would be back on stage together again. Hopefully a 2008 U.S. tour will follow. It was sad seeing OMD back in the early 90's without Paul. If you're an OMD fan, get this DVD as soon as it comes out.

Edit 6/9/08: I contacted Eagle Rock Entertainment, and they are aware of the problem with mislabeled DVDs. The current DVDs are in fact PAL, and they they say they are correcting the problem. If you current DVD player can't play PAL disks, I would wait until the problem is fixed before ordering.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great DVD for OMD fans, January 11, 2009

By	Paul D. Wykes (Auburn, MA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Whatever technical problems other reviewers were experiencing seem to have been resolved. I purchased this in January 2009 and it works fine (it's clearly NTSC, not PAL now).

The DVD itself is excellent. The sound quality, especially the DTS, is outstanding and the camerawork and editing are top notch. While this concert was recorded fairly recently, it wasn't some lame reunion show. The first half of the DVD is the Architecture and Morality album performed in its entirety. While not a huge commercial success, A & M is a brilliant album and this performance of it is top notch.

The second half of the show is various other OMD hits spanning various stages of their career, again performed very well. Andy McCluskey is somewhat of an awkward front man but still has a great voice and the rest of the band do an amazing job bringing these OMD classics to life (though clearly there is some pre-recorded/sampled instrumentation).

I highly recommend this DVD to anyone who has interest in OMD.
