Even great ones fall.......2005-07-14

I have been a big fan of Tourniquet since there first cd stop the bleeding. I think they have put out some of the best music ever produced. I have seen them live 3 times. This dvd does not represent them live. First of all they used to have 2 guitarist at there live shows now only one, which really hurts them on the fast thrash songs. The first concert on this dvd suffers from many things. Sound is horrible I have 5.1 surround sound speakers and no format could help it. The track selection could have been better. They use a song from there cd crawl to china "which is there worst cd, a disgrace to there name". These guys are masters at what they do but they cannot put together a masterfull dvd? and of course the second concert is 1991 footage of there first concert. with a hand held camera? and worst sound, I know they had to have more concert footage than this, why would they pick this no quality garbage? for sentimental value? Being a christian band and not on the radio they need all the help they can grab to get there name out there. A dvd is a great way to do this, but a horrible sound, looking,, fast put together poor excuse for a live dvd hurts them. Go buy there cds "except crawl to china" support them that way do not waste money on this.

Do not waste your money on this DVD!.......2004-11-14

I believed the hype on the DVD case. It said the 2001 concert was professionally produced. I really wanted to see a good video of a band that I'll probably never have a chance to see live.

The newer concert is total garbage. I would really like to know what drugs whe first reviewer and the producers were taking. The video has too many color wash outs. From listening to the audio, you would have a hard time believing that you were actually hearing a band performance.

The earlier concert shows the bands immaturity and is recorded with a hand held camera. The video is fair, the sound is fair; however, it is actually a better video than the 2001 concert video.

The ark of the covenant video-dud! Yes I know that we have to take care of animals but this video is just a waste of time. I'm not sure of what the band is trying to explain. We should not experiment on animals? Monkey's have emotions? The song is great and the musicianship is top notch-similair to some of Megadeth's material.

Overall-skip this DVD! Tie up anyone that anything to do with calling the 2001 concert a professional recording and then throw 'em in a pit and let 'em listen to Darkthrone for a week......UGH!!!!!

a must for fans.......2003-12-27

Tourniquet is an awesome tecnical thrash metal band that have given us past and present concert footage consisting of two diferent shows.The 1st is in flevo 2001.and is the better of the two in regards to sound quallity and perfomance.This is my favorite part of the two. The second half is taken from a show at escondido in 1991. and is very poor in overall quallity i think it was shot with a camcorder.BUT it was their first show and covers the 1st album.The 91.show is really just a colletors item.This dvd shows what a fine group of PLAYERS they are,very underated in the metal scene.For fans of megadeath,rush,king diamond and metallica.
