Warped Tour Live 2002

Amazon.com

More than a concert video, Vans Warped Tour Live 2002 happily captures the top-to-bottom experience of a Vans festival descending on Anytown, USA. The long-running Warped Tour (nine years as of this DVD production) is an annual mosaic of state-of-the-art punk rock, a road show featuring 17 or so acts in various stages of artistic development.

Shot in summer 2002, Live features the barefoot, chummy excitement of piano-centered Something Corporate, some first-rate (even vaguely melodic) thrashing on Anti-Flag's "Got the Numbers," galloping folk-punk from Ireland's Flogging Molly, and Reel Big Fish's crisp ska with a Coasters-like sense of humor. The tour's handful of veteran acts--Mighty Mighty Bosstones, NOFX, and Bad Religion among Them--are the tent poles of Vans' moveable feast, and they don't let the rain-soaked crowd down. Breathtaking extras include a visit to the tour's biker-mad Moto-X Park and the half-pipe at the pro BMX skate park. --Tom Keogh

Good But Not Great.......2005-04-16

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.

More music less talk!.......2003-11-24

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
