I love No Doubt and hope they don't stop going for a long time. I reccomend this to all No Doubt fans, the live footage is amazing.

P.S. I reccomend the Boom Box Box Set.

I'm a huge fan of No Doubt, and this DVD didn't disappoint me! The fact that the band is actually playing, and Gwen is actually singing adds to the greatness (I'm talking about the fact there is no lip syncing). Gwen is SO energetic, boucing around, doing kicks, and jumping all over the place. What I wouldn't do to see them live... I absolutely LOVE No Doubt. The only thing is, I wouldn't really recommend it to children, hehehe, Gwen... Gwen like to use the "F" word a few times in the concert, but... if your a BIG No Doubt fan, like me, you'll look past that ;)

I just don't understand why videographers in the post-MTV/VH1 age persist on editing concert footage to the point where you can't focus on the performers for more than 1 nanosecond without doing rapid-fire zoom-in-outs, jump-cutting, multi-angle perspectives, intentionally-jerky-camera-motion, etc., etc., etc.??? It might be fine for a music video in one-song shots, but for an entire *&$#!@ concert video? I had a headache two songs into the video and had to shut it off. Too bad because I love ND and wished I could have enjoyed their concert footage. Guess this is just how people enjoy watching concerts on video these days... <sigh>

Overall the DVD was good, and I was pleased with ND's performance and Gwen's voice and the song selections. The only disappointment is Gwen's f-word. While it is to be expected of "rockers", it's just annoying because it made Gwen seem phony, and she already has a unique personality and doesn't need to sound "tough". Maybe if she just said it once or twice would be okay.

I had the good fortune of seeing this particular show being filmed at Long Beach Arena back in 2002 or 3 whenever it was. They did a double headline tour with Garbage. The band hit it out of the park that night. Gwen stefani exhausted me and the set list was brilliant .This dvd captures all the energy and fun of that evening, As far as the parental advisory Gwen uses the F-word sparingly, not enough to send you or your children to hell. This is an energetic fun dvd with great xtra's e. g. interviews with the band and feauturettes with each member. Get it now its a great dvd when you're not feeling so great.

You may have been to a ND concert and wished it lasted forever, but that doesn't happen. I always will remeber the live concert I went to but this reminds me of it so I bought the DVD. It is really great, the sound quality is awesome as well. IN some other reviews, people were saying that the camara moves too much but I don't know what they're talking about beacause it really doesn't bother. Unfortunatly I diidnt get TK live dvd. I'm waiting for it to be released on dvd in 2005. This dvd also has some old songs like trapped in a box, different people, and my favorite total hate 95! It also has great speacial features. I love seeing them backstage and they is a lot of that. My favorite special feature is tony's pirate eye. It is hilarious. I recommend this dvd to any no doubt fan and new comers as well! I hope you enjoy it! What are you waiting for? Get it now!

No Doubt is defiantly a live band and this is where they shine, I thoroughly enjoyed this DVD. Several songs that they performed sound much better live. Most notably "Platinum Blonde Life" and "Don't Let Me Down", these songs totally rock over the CD version. I think they should have recorded them with the same energy and faster live beat to start with. Some bands loose something when they play live, not with No Doubt!

ND is not a band to stand around the stage looking like mannequins either. Gwen is constantly running from one side of the stage to the other. She can really get the fans pumped up. Tony (Bassist) even gets into the act a few times.

My only gripe with this DVD is that the 4 bonus songs seem to be recorded at a different sound level. I need to turn the volume up a good bit to get decent sound.

Overall it's a stellar performance by ND, it makes me wish I could have seen the Rock Steady tour in person. Fans of No Doubt will not be disappointed with this DVD. I know I wasn't.

It Has A Great Behind The Scenes From Before The Concert/During/After.. It Has Individual Band Memmbers Behind The Scenes Stuff (Including Gwen As A PussyCat Doll) It's More Than Just A Concert.. U Can Get To Know Them..

No Doubt is, by far, the best live band of the past decade. Their energy is absolutely infectious and who doesn't love Gwen Stefani? No Doubt was the first concert I ever attended in 2000, and if you haven't seen them live, I suggest doing so. They are amazing.
