Editorial Reviews

Korn came out of California in the early nineties and went on to become one of the most globally successful metal acts of their generation. They continue to play live to vast crowds and have record sales in the millions. This concert from Montreux in 2004 is their only performance at the festival to date. It was to be one of the last shows to feature the band's original line-up with guitarist Brian Welch leaving the group a few months later. Korn transforms the normally reserved Montreux crowd into seething, rocking mass with the largest (& probably the first!) mosh pit ever seen in the famous Stravinski Auditorium.

then check this out, unlike the person below me. I don't care about "extras, special features and s**t like that. I want to see and hear the band live on dvd, and this dvd really delivers the rich sound korn gives out(especially on the bassist side) if you want to see interviews and all the other behind the scenes stuff go on youtube.com. So go grab it, its worth the money. And to me(I like this better than the live on the otherside dvd) :)

The dvd rules, korn has been one of my favorites since 1997 when I got Life Is Peachy. I saw them several times with the original line up and nothing will ever top that. Regardless who they have help them live anymore. But in 2004 Head and Fieldy were burnt out from drugs and Korn were showing signs of burning out as well.
Korn still rules in my opinion, but this is not there best. Buying this is for the "Head and David" factor. In the show you see a few mess ups by the band, that during there best they wouldnt of done. Fieldy looks tired and and out of energy the whole time. JD is awesome, but his voice isnt as strong as it is now, IMO.
For the price it is worth it for any true Korn fan. I did enjoy watching the set with all of the 5 of them like back in the day. I think that Korn has improved since Head and David left for the right reasons and continue to rock and rule.

4.0 out of 5 stars Reminiscent of a time when Korn were still Untouchable., November 23, 2010

This review is from: Live at Montreux 2004 (DVD)

Remember when Korn was a band, and not just three guys limping along with some hired guns in the background? With the release of "Live at Montreux," you can relive the glory days of the band before everything fell apart.

"Live at Montreux" is a special release because -- as of this writing -- it is the last professionally filmed and released live concert performance featuring Korn with its original five member line-up. Seeing frontman Jonathan Davis, guitarist James "Munky" Shaffer and bassist Fieldy perform with the estranged members of the group for one last time (before nostalgia sets in and they all wise up to what's good for 'em) provides not only a high volume of nostalgia, but re-affirms that Korn in their current form are a mere shadow of their former selves. With guitarist Brian "Head" Welch -- who left the band in 2005 to pursue a relationship with God and launch his own solo career -- and drummer David Silveria -- who fell off the map completely in 2006 -- in tow, the Bakersfield fivesome rip through a blistering seventeen song set that is heavy on the band's juggernaut hit catalog as well as cuts from 2003's "Take a Look in the Mirror," which the band was touring on at the time.

In typical fashion, Davis goes light on the in-between song banter that usually pads out the usual rock show set, leaving ample time for the band to rock out as efficiently as possible. Unlike 2002's Hammerstein Ballroom affair, the band sounds tight and focused, as opposed to loose and sloppy like the previous effort. Silveria in particular shines, opening the set with a drum-solo that leads into the ferocious "Right Now." Munky and Fieldy also share an interesting jam leading into "A.D.I.D.A.S." which makes one wonder why they struggle to keep the creative juices flowing even without their former band-mates. Welch, on the other hand, seems to spend more time at the side of the stage than the decidedly more animated Munky, perhaps alluding to the fallen guitarist's mental state at the time. No matter, though, because of all of the live shows Korn have released to the public over the years, this is their finest. The set delivers the standard fare you'd expect, with a few deeper cuts such as "Dead Bodies Everywhere" and "Break Some Off" to sweeten the pot. The sound and picture quality are top-notch, as the concert is presented in 16:9 widescreen and with a Dolby Surround 5.1 soundtrack. Unfortunately for those looking for a little more, special features are non-existent, which could be chalked up to the fact that the band itself didn't have a hand in the DVD's release. As it stands, though, "Live at Montreux" is a sleek and sexy snap-shot of a band still in their prime that every Korn fan -- old and new -- will cherish.
