These World Cafe series seem to be pretty high quality - think " Austin City Limits" type audio mix ( very good).
Of course, I would have liked to hear 2 or 3 of my personal favorites that aren't on here, but those songs were never Living Colour's biggest anyway.

The whole band is on fire in this - their hiatus didn't mean anyone stopped playing.

The setlist: 1.Desperate People 2.Middle Man 3.In Your Name 4.Open Letter ( to a Landlord) 5. Wall 6. Glamour Boys 7.Love Rears its Ugly Head 8. Bless Those 9. Ignorance Is Bliss 10. Auslander 11. Cult of Personality

The show is from 2005 / 2006 tour. Bonus features are a band interview, and photos.

Yes, this DVD is far too short. I read this show was actually 2 hours long. But to see this band in all its glory is worth every penny. Corey Glover is the best front man in rock. Each of the 4 in the band is an absolutely master of his instrument. I'll take everything available of Living Colour.

Its about time Living Colour put out a live dvd. This had been a long time coming for us LC fans. I have been a fan since Vivid, and also any solo stuff Vernon Reid puts out, Im into. This dvd rocks all the way thru, with songs from Vivid, and some off their last cd, and of course Cult Of Personality is on there, come on. Like the other reviewer, I feel that this dvd is way to short, but hey, I will take what I can get. When I got this dvd the other day, I watched it 3 times in a row. If your a LC fan, or a Vernon Reid fan, or both, you owe it to yourself to get this dvd. It should be a part of any rock/musicians collection....

Living Colour has lost nothing in the time they were apart. This performance is not only great performance-wise, but the sound quality and mix is near perfect. My only complaint is it's too short. Despite that, after watching just the opening track "Desperate People" I was floored and thought "yeah, that alone was worth the money!"

A really good concert with a really good sound.
It's just too short.
For those who like side projects from living colour's members, 2 dvd must be seen : yohimbe brothers, head>>fake.

First of all, thank you to the producers of this DVD! Living colour are still one of the greatest bands out there, these four men really have a lot to teach to fake rockers everywhere...
The musicianship is just amazing, only dream thether come to mind as being a group of similarly gifted and proficient professionals...

The only complaint is for its length, too many songs (especially the most recent ones) are not featured, so... Can't wait for the next LC DVD!!!

A must-have for people looking for music played by real musicians with great groove and attitude!

Everyone of these guys still can 'whip it out' (as Frank Zappa may have said) in mega-awesome form. Top notch production for a smaller venue.
I don't even care about the size of the set list- between watching all of
these guy's amazing skill as musicians - everything else is cast aside and forgotten about. Almost all of the 'bullets' are here. Amazing band. Amazing performers. Top recommendation!

Best live band on the planet still bar none!
Vernon is crazy, will is solid, dougs bass duznt sound like one, but fantastic all the same
and coreys voice is on top form!!

I had seen them in Cleveland a few nights before this performance. The set list is different and ends just short of an hour. I had the misfortune of having to leave the Cleveland concert early so I know I had to have missed about 7 or more songs. I was looking forward to hearing again what I saw that night "Flying" and others. Vernon gives some quotable sermons which is both an extra and interweaved within the concert tracks. I really hope these guys stick around. They are my second favorite band and a DVD release is probably a big step for them in this day and age of burning and pirating discs.
