Well, I've still never had the priviledge of seeing this band live, but this really is the next best thing. This DVD/CD set also confirms to me that this is probably the most talented band on the face of the planet. The DVD is reason enough to purchase this set, with lots of material and tons of extras....but the CD....OH, the CD!!!!!! This live material is phenomenal. This is some of the best improvisational material I've heard since Frank Zappa or maybe PHish. They truly are both a live and a studio band--quite rare these days. And they make it look so EASY (especially Dave, the drummer--he's SICK!!). Anyways, go out and support these guys and buy the set--it's worth it!! I just hope they will come to Arizona again sometime...if not, I will definitely make a road trip to their homeland (Northern CA). Viva El Monoman!!!!!!!!!!!!

This DVD is the next best thing to actually seeing Estradasphere live. If you enjoy Estradasphere's music, BUY THIS DVD NOW!!! You will not be disappointed! I don't even know why I'm writing this review because if you're looking at the Estradasphere section, you probably already know what these guys do and are already going to buy this DVD anyway.
