I'm a casual 54-40 fan and have seen them perform a couple of times. Their performance on this DVD is pretty uninspired and although the 5.1 works very well the sound is muddy and very bass heavy. I might experiment by turning the treble up significantly. Also I found the video grainy. Having said all that it features all their hits and they are a relatively small band which can't realisically have the budget for a high end production. The DVD makes a nice momento of the performances I saw and invokes good memories.
I did not attend the concert so hold no bias from being there. This DVD features good video, especially for an outdoor concert and good sound. Not on par with exceptioanl DVD's like those from the Eagles, Beegees, Styx, Fleetwood Mac, etc but still very enjoyable with no critical flaws. I thought the instrumentals overwhelmed the vocals a bit. Exceptioanl selection of songs, I recongnized each one upon hearing it even though I didn't recognize the name of the tune from the DVD jacket. The rehearsal hall bonus was very amusing and enlightening for a non musician such as me. This is a solid 4+ out of 5 and definitely a keeper.
