"Time Fixers" is one of the Tenacious D short films found on disc 2. And I'd say it's more funny than any of the shorts offered on the first Master Works.
Basically, it's an episode of a fictional television series, where Jack and Kyle are regularly summoned by Michael Keaton (who makes a hilarious cameo via Cutless Supreme video monitor) to fix the problems created by the Time Goblin (played by Lee). The D must go back in time to make sure that Abe Lincoln gets shot during the Ford Theatre play.
Hilarious, to say the least. Probably my favorite part of the whole set.
As for the rest of it...
Wow. Just wow. I can honestly say I like this set twice as much as the first. The new concert blows the old one out of the water. It begins on a stage designed to look like Kyle's apartment. The D play some acoustic hits, with Lee joining in on occasion. Suddenly, an electrical malfunction kills the greatest band of all time, sending them to Hell where they meet Colonel Sanders, Charlie Chaplin, and the Anti-Christ. Together, they form the Fellowship of the D, a full band that rocks for the remainder of the set.
This concert has it all. Video interludes, awesome props and costumes, even special effects. It's almost like watching a big-budget Broadway musical. I, for one, loved it.
The second disc is where the real gold is. The documentary contained within is simply perfect. Never before have I seen such an entertaining yet down-to-earth, honest portrayal of a band. You get to see The D during every stage of the tour, from conceptual designing to the aftermath. You see their families, their fights, their backstage worries. And none of it seems whiny or preachy. It's insightful and kind of sad at times, but I could feel nothing but respect for the guys once the whole thing was finished. Most celebrities are too afraid to show that much of themselves, especially when their success relies on comedy, not reality.
Anyway, I could talk for days about how great this set is. Buy it if you haven't already. It may not be filled with as much funny goodness as its predecessor, but I'd say it's way more interesting and a much better representation of who The D are as a band.
5 billion stars.
NOPE.
Well, at least not after this DVD came out and rocked the World and the "D" went all electric---in a good way---for the latter half.
Going through "the hits"---if one should call 'em that---to an adoring audience, JB and KG simply stole the show. If not for "Lee", otherwise known as "Satan", "Bigfoot", "The Metal", etc., and "the Band" we would have had pretty much "Vol. I" only with a slight redux.
Not the case here. Sharper, better recordings and more "toit", the "D" have never sounded nor look---er, ok---so they've NEVER sounded better. The only down is the lame humor with "the Band" in Character when they first meet in Hell. The awkward scene about why the "Band"---Col. Sanders and Charlie Chaplin---are in Hell is just about the only unfortunate part of the whole DVD.
But...I can live with that.
You feel like you're with the guys on the stage. Camerawork is awesome and there's just BARELY enough audience shots to involve you, and it never crosses the line into "too much", where you're just praying they don't show the fat chick doing the butt bump with her equally round sister for too long (OK, so there's never really any fat chicks shown. I was only using that as a hypothetical example---hmmm....coincidence? I think not...)
Highlights are Wonderboy, "Saxophone", Beelzeboss, "The Metal", and of course the ephemeral "Greatest Song in the World" but the whole thing is a rollicking "Tribute" (like how I did that just then? ok...ok...bad...sorry) from beginning to end.
Put the kids to bed, snuggle up with those you love, and get down with the "D". If you weren't a fan, you will be licking the sweat off of the D by the end of the show. It never gets old, and the Blu-Ray treatment is just what Satan ordered for the "World's Greatest Acoustic Part Time Heavy Metal Band who are Also Actors" band knows simply as:
Tenacious D: JB/KG ... Don't fight it. Give in to it. Live the Dream with the D.
In the end, I agree with both KG and JB when it comes to The D. KG's desire to keep the overall concept pure, is noble and ultimately the "right" thing to do. JB's desire to take The D to the mainstream masses is also correct, and the full band stage show proves that it can work. There is an interesting schism between the two, and it makes this period in the history of The D, all the more compelling.

The concert is entertaining enough, but didn't really live up to my expectations. One surprising thing is how poor the sound quality is once the D - without wanting to spoil things - "go electric". It breaks up quite badly once the volume starts increasing to any extent, which is a huge no-no for a music DVD. That aside, the concert is entertaining enough, and Tenacious D's touring band - comprised mainly of members of Kyle Gass' other band, Trainwreck - are all impressively talented. The show falls somewhere between a regular gig and a live stage show a la the old Bottom Live tours, but as a result doesn't quite excel as either.
The documentary, D-Tour, which could be considered the main attraction, is much more revealing. In the wake of Pick of Destiny's utter failure ("we're not even in the top ten COMEDIES of the week," laments Jack Black at one point), Tenacious D attempt to mount their biggest tour ever. Coupled with Kyle Gass' increasing irritation with Black's constant star treatment at his own expense, it's an occasionally eye-opening look at Kyle's real feelings about the D, while Black struggles with the toll of the road on his wife and new-born baby.
The overall feeling is that, while the doc is enjoyable and entertaining, there's a lot more footage out there. It would be nice to see it in an extended form at some point.
