Another 5-Star Review, July 13 2004
This review is from: Chemical Brothers, the 93-03 (DVD)
I just wanted to add something to all the other 5-star reviews of this excellent DVD...and that is...how amazing the live material is. Sure the videos are good, but it's the live section of this DVD that really (to use a cliche) blows you away. The live songs are masterpieces of beat-genius, with each song delivering extremely satisfying build-ups and climaxes...all are mesmerizing...all have less vocals than the single versions...all are stretched out with BIG SUB-WOOFER sound! It almost seems like...if Beethoven and Mozart were alive today, they'd be these two Chemical Brothers exhibiting their musical chops to live & raving audiences. So anyway, if you buy this DVD, I recommend that you go immediately to the live section. It's truly thrilling.

LONG TIME COMING, Oct 16 2003
This review is from: Chemical Brothers, the 93-03 (DVD)
Chemical Brothers fans have long awaited a video/live dvd from the masters and I would say it's been worth the wait. What an awesomely put together dvd. Even the menus are class. Having been at the red rocks show, I admired how its footage perfectly captures the mayhem that ensued after the blistering opener hey boy, hey girl. And as for the other live bits, they're worth the price of admission alone, especially the Japan footage, simply jaw-dropping. But you also get the promos and interviews which only add to the future classic status of this dvd. Some of the best videos of the last ten years of course line up to show the Chem's might. 'The Test' is an instant classic with amazing visuals, and 'The Golden Path' is a very positive and uplifting piece of genius as a video and track. Excellent DVD.
