 Great performance! Good DVD. May 31, 2008
This is RATM at their best. What a show and what a crowd! This dvd has a letterbox aspect picture and has PCM 2.0 and Dolby 5.1 Surround sound. The sound for some reason goes a bit lower during some of the songs but it's not that noticeable. I think this is the best of their three dvds. The surround sound is pretty good for an older dvd. Get it!

I am only doing the review for this dvd and not all three that I bought, which they were all three of Rage's dvd's. I dont think you should really take my review as a legitimate review. Rage is my favorite band of all time. Zach and Tom are two of my idols and inspiration, so of course I am going to have a really bias review for all three of their dvd's I bought. If I was getting paid to tell the truth, I would say this...All three of Rage Against The Machine's dvd's are the raw deal! They are pure rock on all three of the dvd's. Tom is slashing it up, as does Tim (who does his chiming in at times for backup vocs). Brad is completely emotional on the set. He plays like its the last time he is ever going to play again; but does this every time he plays! Blood, sweat, tears, are constantly dripping down all of them as they play their hearts out. Then there is Zach. If this band had somebody such as Maynard, Cornell, Serj, or any other vocalist; then Rage would SUCK! Zach makes completes this band in ever way possible. The pure, untamed, unrestrained, raw, and unconfined emotion that flows through his veins is the only reason you need, to buy any one of their three dvd's. Trust me on this you will not be let down if you buy one, plus they are all really quite inexpensive. Each one comes with bonus stuff that's awesome! One has a interview with Marcos! One has Mexico City trip with Tom and he visits Lenin's home there before he died. The list goes on and on. Just buy one, and honestly for the $40 bucks I spent on all three, it was far out better than pinchin or cinchin your junk in a zipper!! You should get one.
(RAGE?) against the machine January 4, 2008
This is a good concert video however some faults included the band members' lack of energy (thus the reason for my headline), and camera tricks (freeze frame, in particular, being used to a large extent)
Special features are SOMEWHAT bland: Tom Morello giving a 3 minute tour of mexico city; a one-on-one interview with Zack interviewing famous political author Noam Chomsky(which is actually pretty interesting to watch, like politics or not); Subtitles to each song which can be manually toggled ON/OFF; and my personal favorite, a pre-show segment that just shows rage chilling out backstage. This DVD would have gotten 3 stars if it were not for this. 4 minutes or not this is very interesting just to see the band chilling out backstage and not rallying/protesting. It's a much different Zack De La Rocha then you see on stage.
I'll let you interpret the songs, although I personally prefer the live versions of "Freedom" and "Guerilla Radio" on this DVD myself.
Also, check out and read my review for "Rage Against the Machine: Live at the Grand Olympic Auditorium" (the DVD), which I think has a better overall performance (and more interaction between Zack and the crowd), alhough this is more energetic because Zack's a year younger in this than in the former.A
Ayways, Overall I REALLY recommend that you BUY THIS concert DVD!!!
I Am A Casual Fan October 24, 2007
This dvd makes you wanna turn your surround sound to max, drink a beer, take your shirt off, and mosh with your cat. whenever i want to get crazy, i pop this dvd in. worth every penny.
AWESOME February 18, 2007
This DVD truly highlights the skill that Rage Against the Machine had and only makes fans want the band to get back together. Watching this makes you feel as though you are really at the concert. Overall - SICK! BUY IT!
