Seems to be alot of bashing about not being bluray. Consider the following. This concert was filmed at the 2009 Download Festival at Donnington Park which Slipknot headlined. The original footage was from a webcast of the festival. I would think that the footage intended for webcast would not exactly be of the HD/Bluray quality that everyone is demanding here. This concert was phenominal, you can see much of it on video sites on the web. I am glad I am going to be able to relive the concert on DVD, isn't that what we should be looking for here.

I was lucky enough to see Slipknot live on their "All Hope is Gone" tour, and an impressive show it was, easily ranking in my top 3 for best concerts ever. So, I was really happy to see this DVD coming. This is their performance at the 2009 Download festival. This is easily one of the best Live DVD's that you will ever see. There's really not much more to say about it. If you're even a casual Slipknot fan, seeing them in their element, doing what they love to do and excel at is simply incredible. I'm not really sure what the people giving it low ratings just because it's not Blu-Ray is all about. First of all, you havn't seen it. You're whining and giving a review/rating based on format. Are you people really so brainwashed by popular culture that you can't even buy a concert disc of one of your favorite bands, just because it isn't the latest and *supposedly* greatest? Sorry, I've done the Blu Ray-DVD comparison, and I don't understand the hype anyway. Someone said "Don't buy this and make a statement." Make what statement? Make the statement that you're a tool, and will buy whatever the corporate media tells you to buy. Get real. While you're whining about your overpriced Blu Ray crap, the rest of us are watching an awesome concert from one of the greatest Metal bands of our time.

This DVD release from Slipknot is a great item for Slipknot fans. The live show - Live @ The Download Festival in 2009 - is fantastic. Possibly the best audio I've ever heard on a standard-DVD concert from Slipknot. The set-list has material from all 4 albums, so the mix of songs goes from about as hardcore as Slipknot gets to some ballad-type songs. All in all, there's 17 songs performed in front of 80,000 people, and it makes the DVD worth the purchase if you are a fan.
The 'Full-length Film', "Audible Visions," is actually only about 35 minutes long, with abstract clips from on-stage clips to backstage shots. Anyone who is familiar with Clown's style of film will already know that you are in for a lot of abstract moments woven together to make a chaotic atmosphere. The film isn't bad, it's just not amazing or anything. Nevertheless, with the live show included, I consider the "movie" an extra feature, as well as the videos from the album "All Hope Is Gone". I wasn't as into "All Hope Is Gone" as much as other Slipknot fans, so the videos weren't anything too special to me, but for fans who love that album, there's another incentive to buy this.
Overall, I'm glad I bought this DVD. And for other reviewers that are giving this release 1 star reviews because it isn't available on blu-ray, that's really not what your review should be about. It should be about the material contained within the release. On that basis, I give "(sic)nesses" 4 stars.

Definitely renewed my faith in Slipknot
Other reviews said it best. Great show, awesome videos, egomaniacal editing by Clown(which we could all do without). One thing, does anyone else have trouble with disck 1? Read more

Not great audio quality but excellent show
The audio is only 192 kbps, like a médium quality mp3. Usually a high quality audio on dvd's is more or less 1400 kbps. Read more

A disappointment
Okay, we have another DVD from Slipknot, my favorite heavy metal band. The first disc is nothing more than live scenes from their tour spliced together. A complete waste. Read more

Great performance, poor DVD authoring
The performance was great, the editing fantastic, the mixing top notch, and this is by far the best representation of Slipknot live since Disasterpieces. Read more
