Good for True Saosin Fans, April 28, 2008
This review is from: Saosin: Come Close (DVD/CD Combo) (Amaray) (DVD)
I had been hoping for a Saosin concert DVD for some time now, and here it finally is. Unfortunately, this is not all I had hoped for, but I still do enjoy it. The sound quality is, to be polite, disappointing, and the performance quality, with the exception of drummer extraordinaire Alex Rodriquez is a bit raw. Harmonies are SOMETIMES beautiful and other times a little sour. The bass guitar is inaudible in all but a few of the songs. But despite these shortcomings, the incredible energy and musical originality of Saosin comes through. Rodriguez ties everything together with an incredible performance that alone is worth the price of this DVD.
As an old boomer who saw Hendrix and the Doors in person at their peaks, I have long had an appreciation for truly creative and musically talented bands. Saosin has restored my faith that such great bands can continue to appear. And, by the way, Morrison and Hendrix were pretty raw in person also!

I'm a fan, April 29, 2010
This review is from: Saosin: Come Close (DVD/CD Combo) (Amaray) (DVD)
In my opinion the sound quality was good, I also really enjoyed the DVD, the way it was recorded and put together really puts you in the mood to rock out to it. The cool thing about this set is that there are songs on it that aren't recorded (in that way, and by Cove) anywhere else (3rd Measurement in C ..etc). I was very pleased. Go ahead. Buy it.
