If you like the Warped Tour this DVD is a must have. The qaulity is excellent, and the sound is great. I also liked all the behind the the scenes footage, the interviews, and one band showed what life is like on a tour bus, I thought that was pretty cool. I gave the DVD 4 stars because bands like Lagwagon, NOFX, and No Use For a Name only got 1 video and it seemed like every other band got 2. I don't think it's fair that a band like Something Corporate should get 2 videos and great bands that have been around for a while, like the 3 I mentioned before only got 1. I also thought they could have added in a few more bands. There are a couple from the tour that I liked that weren't on the DVD. Other than those 2 things I'd say this DVD is well above average and is definatly worth the money.

this dvd showed exactly what it was like to be at the warped tour(i know i went) the bands played awesome sets and this shows their best performances from each. There was some amazing skating action shown and the backstage parts are really funny. a must buy!!

This is a pretty okay DVD. I agree with what someone said that the lack of varity is somewhat annoying. But if you want to see your band played two or three times it's pretty good for that.
What i found annoying was the fact they felt the need to talk on and on about the warped tour, how it's set up, what goes on, etc etc. Okay, guys could we put that in perhaps the special features section, because i really don't care right now and just want to watch Flogging Molly. That's my biggest complaint about it. But it has some cool short interviews with people like NOFX and Reel big Fish and people. Plus the bus tour with Flogging molly was pretty cool. But buy it if your a big warped tour fan, or if you went that year and want to relive it

Ok, I bought this DVD without even think about it, I just saw it, grabbed it and bought it. I mean, no matter what the band line up is, if you ever attended one Warped Tour, you know it changes you, it's been one of the highlights of my life. So I didn't find anything wrong with having a little souvenir of this amazing show in my house; The problem is, with a tour that have been going on for more than five years now, why just put out footage of the 2002 tour, instead of a best of footage? Acts like Rancid, Pennywise, Deftones, and AFI that are Warped Tour classics, are missings, while weak new comers like Something Corporate, Ozma and The Used are put in replace. I would have expect that weird moments, like the time Weezer reunited to play the show, or when best-sellers like 311 or Alien Ant Farm played, where going to be highlighted on the DVD, but those moments are nowhere to be found. At least they didn't forget legends like The Bosstones, NoFx and Bad Religion. Also great bands like the punk rebels Anti-Flag, the rastafarians Morgan Heritage are worth the price, and you found out that New Found Glory don't play so bad after all. Anyway, if you want to revive the moment, this DVD is for you.

In my opinion warped tour is the greatest tour to ever have happened. I've gone for 7 years now and every year it just gets better. This DVD does a good job showcasing the energy and the vibe that goes on at these shows. With live performances, interviews and the extreme sports this is a must have for anyone who has or wants to go to a Warped Tour ever. It's simply amazing, I'm going to watch it every day.

New Found Glory, The Used and Mxpx all have live performances on here, as well as many other bands. Check it out.

I would rate this DVD as average. I should note that I am not a huge fan of most of the bands on this DVD. The format is good. There is commentary from each band & live performances. The Alkaline Trio performance is phenomenal as well as Bad Religion. New Found Glory, Reel Big Fish, NOFX, Flogging Molly, The Used, & Something Corporate are worth watching but not great on the DVD. I also own the Warped Tour 2003 DVD which I found to be much better.

The only thing that could make this DVD better would be a better variety of the bands on the DVD. Most artists featured on the DVD have 2 or 3 songs. It would be better if there were more bands with 1 song each. The quality of the DVD is very good though. Of course, no DVD could ever compare to actually being there.

Its good, but its missing bands. Where's Good Charlotte, Sum 41, and AFI? They were all on Warped 02...

This is horrible, get the older warped tour DVD in, i beleive, 96 or 97. The music on this tour absolutley sucked. Whiney, my girlfriend brock-up with me, look i have a tattoo of a sparrow, and i don't comb my hair or wash it but die it black, music. This music just made me hate whats coming out these days. If you want to see a show/music that will stimulate your little minds. Go buy Social D, Jawbreaker, Rites of Spring, Husker Du, Minor Threat, Cursive, Jets to Brazil, Bad Brains, Embrace, Modest Mouse. Please go out and get any of these bands and explore good meaningful music.

I am now further convinced that the skip button for dvds is the man's best invention next to the condom. As soon as the dvd started I skipped right over Something Corporate..., Anti-Flag, Morgan Heritage, The Used, Lagwagon, New Found Glory, NOFX (the songs they gave us on the dvd are [cruddy], which is a shame because NOFX is actually a quite amusing band), and GOB. I did enjoy (if not tolerate) the performances of Ozma's 'Eponine' (although I wouldn't classify them as 'punk'-who knows what punk is these days- I do enjoy their guitar plays), Mighty Mighty Bosstones's 'Hope I Never Lose my Wallet', MXPX (even though they perform traditional, cliche "sorry I'm late" songs, I'll forever have a soft spot for them), No Use for a Name (brilliant drums, and awesome crowd relations, and I normally don't like them), Flogging Molly (what the heck are these Irishmen doing on tour? who cares, they're funny! But check out the Dropkick Murphys first before getting hooked on these guys), and Reel Big Fish (the funny delivery and good guitar/bass combo saves the stupid song). The last two performances, by Alkaline Trio and Bad Religion are passable. I had never really paid attention to Alkaline Trio before seeing them on the dvd, but as a result I'm going to find a better song by them, they seem to have a lot of potential. Bad Religion disappointed me with their new song, Supersonic, the delivery was pretty weak and wasn't the best closing. I did enjoy a few of the backstage interviews and the behind the scenes investigations.

All in all, wait till this dvd hits the sale bin, or don't buy it at all. I'm sure that wanky 15-year-old punk "rawkers" will thoroughly enjoy this dvd but for me, I'll just stick to kicking my rear for shelling out [money] for it.
