On Jan. 14, 2004, a group of bands set up in a vacant bungalow that was going to be demolished and performed in the quaint living room at full volume, playing just one song each. Recorded on a mobile multi-trackk unit and filmed in HD with multiple cameras, the film gives a crisp, clean look and sound and features performances by Bob Mould with Ted Leo, Ian McKay's new band the Evens, O and Not U, Medications and French Toast, among others.

Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.
To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzed reviews to verify trustworthiness.
I can't honestly say I've watched the whole thing yet, but I really liked what I've seen so far. It's not as good as the Portland or Chicago ones, but definitely worth viewing at least once.
The stuff that is good is really good, some of the other stuff was a bit disappointing. I bough tit solely for the Medications and it was worth it just for that.

This DVD had more than just music. It told the story of the end of a house that was destined to be burned to the ground. In the final hours of its existance, 8 local DC bands (Q and Not U, the Evens, Ted Leo, and others) get together and each play a song in front of a fireplace in what used to be the living room.
What's most haunting about it is conclusion (ecspecially the last image that you see). Highly recommended.
The music is great and the video is beautiful and the whole idea is just so flawlessly put together. For a special treat, look for the photo gallery extras so you can hear outtake audio of Ian MacKaye having a play arguement about whos hold true ownership of his hat with a little kid named George.
Bob Mould's performance is also fantastic.
The next one of these videos has been shot in Chicago and it has excellent bands as well.
A really good DVD springing from a highly intriguing idea. take a building condemned to demolition by fire and fill it with musicians for a day and film it all. I love the genre. There is a feel to this that seems to be absent from other live performance DVD's. I definitely plan to track down more of these. Maybe somebody should do this in the UK?
DCハードコアには詳しくない。だけどこのDVDに収められた演奏はどれも素晴らしい。特にQ AND NOT Uのタイトなアンサンブル、BOB MOULDの歌い手のしての力量をまざまざと感じる力量。収録に使われた焼き壊しが決まった家屋に差し込む冬の陽光をうまく活かしたクリアな映像も○。この値段なら買いでしょう。ちなみに我が家の日本国内用DVDプレーヤーで問題なく再生できました。
