Looks and sounds OK. Video/DVD doesn't do the Rev justice. Have to see it live. The first 4 songs are off of the last 2 albums (Lucky 7 and Spend a Night in The Box). Energy really doesn't pick up until Big Sky. The last few times I've seen the Reverend, Bales of Cocaine was nowhere to be found. Not sure if that song has been retired or what, but it is one of their better songs, and it isn't on the DVD.

Just by watching these guys perform, you can see that these guys actually work for a living... and they bust their a**es doing it.

The bonus stuff would probably be of interest to some of the more hardcore fans, but I don't think any newbies would get much out of it.

All in all, not a bad disc. The things that make The Rev so good live (the crowd, the sweat and the smell of cheap beer) don't really carry over to the DVD. So, if it has been a few months since The Good Reverend has been in your town, this DVD will keep you going until the next time they come around.

I was sooooo excited when I saw this DVD in stores, but when I brought it home, I was disappointed. The quality isn't that great, the camera angles are boring, and it just didn't do The Reverend justice. The interviews were a mildly interesting, but basically, you should just get the "Revival" CD with the DVD in it. It's the same footage.

IT'S THE REV!
LIVE!
IT ROCKS!
What's with all the whining about the technical quality and the set list? I doubt you knit-pickers could ever be satisfied. Maybe you didn't watch it loud enough? I am grateful for the opportunity to have it.

The cameraman apparently thought he was being clever by zooming in and out and tilting the camera each way, with rapid fire switches between too close and too far.

The result was motion sickness and my wishing that the camera lingered so I could study the Rev or Jimbos handiwork. Instead the camera changes angle every 4 seconds.

Big fans will like this as it is all that is out there, but darn it, hire a better crew next time Rev. This was disappointing. I'll keep coming to your shows of course, but this DVD is going onto the shelf.

I've attended more Horton Heat shows that I can count over the last 11 years, and this DVD really captures the crew in fine form. If you've only seen them perform on tv shows, this disc far surpassess their appearances on Conan etc... sound quality is great, and it still has a bootleg feel to it but with pro camera shots and superb audio.

What a great DVD. Not too many rockabilly kind of DVD's looks this good. And nice to see that there is over 30 minuts of extra material on it. I can only say one thing, you gotta grap this hot piece, it's the best I've seen in a long time. Great band, great humor, and now on DVD......

This dvd rocks, cant say enough about Hortons guitar playing and how cool the group is. Good video quality and the show plays right on through ,also there are group history stories added to view if and when you want. Great intro to Horton and some cool rock and roll, so buy it and enjoy.

I really didn't see much of anything to complain about in this concert recording. I found it thoroughly enjoyable. Sound AND video.

The extras, where you get to know the Rev, and the band..... were well worth the time to watch.

This is a valued member of my entertainment collection.

I love the good Reverend and was really dissapointed in this video. His shows are much much better. The good right Reverend got ripped off by whoever was doing the video and sound work. Unless they were relatives and did it for free. He should hire the people that did the Blasters "Going Home" Dvd. If he has the extra bucks he should get whover does the DVD's for Brian Setzer. Anyway I will still come see you when you come my way, but this DVD is going to Ebay.

This dvd has everything that is great about the good Reverend. Good times, great tunes and fantastic sound. I can't stress how good this dvd sounds on dts surround. There are two fun shorts with info on the beginings of the Rev. and the band that he is with today. If you are a fan of rock-a-billy you need to give this disc a spin. Crack a beer or four and praise Jimbo.
