Blindside: Live and Storming Out, Aug 8 2005

Okay... Let me point out what has been overtly criticized: The concert audio is not the best, true... However, this DVD is not about the concert audio. It's about what Blindside is, who they are and what they produce to people around them.
Inside you will find a wonderful documentary opening the band up so that we can take a peek deep into who they are. How they began as a four friends just wanting to make some music and turned into the artistic powerhouse that they are now. The documentary covers from their first album and ends with them working on their latest release (and incredible album): "The Great Depression."
As for the concerts, no, they don't have great audio... true, and yet, you can still tell that they play flawless live shows, musically speaking. Now, the energy that is Blindside is undeniable. If you can't feel it watching them play, you can see it in the faces of those that are there. Now, of course, you should go see them live if you have the opportunity (especially now, with their latest release), as you should any great band, but as far as the concerts go: Blindside fan or not, you'll enjoy the fact that they're such energetic and talented musicians.
The videos are great, if you haven't catched them in any of the local or national music networks, you should buy this just for the videos... and think of the Documentary and the Concerts as extras.
Overall, it is a buy that you'll not regret if you are a fan of talent and good musical presence. And if you're a Blindside fan and don't have it... what are you waiting for?

I just bought this dvd a few days ago, and i've yet to finish watching it. with tons of concert footage, videos for 'king of the closet', 'pitiful', 'all of us', etc, photo slideshows, and a documentary showing blindside's 10 year journey, it is a great buy. i only question how many times i need to see blindside perform the same song. the concert energy is perfectly captured. it's pretty sweet.
