For its homecoming concert in Worcester, Massachusetts, in the spring of 2001, Godsmack returned as certified headliners, as superstars. And for 80-plus minutes, the quartet gives its fans exactly what they came for and love: head-banging, ear-splitting, gut-churning hard rock. The fans, actually, are the costars of this in-your-face concert film: there are as many shots of the fist-pumping, bodysurfing crowd as there are of the boys in the band, which may be a clue as to whom this release is aimed at. But those true fans of Godsmack will undoubtedly be sated, since 13 of the group's most memorable slabs of nu-metal (including "Greed," "Awake," and the Grammy-nominated instrumental, "Vampires") are included. In between the pummeling songs, singer Sully Erna comes across as an articulate spokesman, and it might have been interesting to have a brief interview with him to discuss his band's music; as it is, there are no DVD extras. --Kevin Filipski

Cool but short concert...

I enjoyed this concert very much. A lot of energy and an overall rockin' performance by Godsmack. The sound seemed fine to me despite what a lot of other reviewers say, but I'm not a sound "critic" by any means. My only complaints was that it's a pretty short DVD. There aren't really any special features and the navigation between the songs on the menu is pretty strangely laid out. So my only complaint is that there should have been some bonus footage or interviews or something but I guess for 15 bucks it's not too bad.

Perfect

This DVD is perfect for any Godsmack fan. Nothing beats seeing your favorite band perform live. It's even better when the sound quality is top notch. The video/sound quality is superb and I have no complaints about it. There are no special features and it would've been a great addition to the DVD, but it doesnt ruin it in anyway. So if you, or someone you know likes Godsmack, than this is the DVD for you.

Their First Live DVD

If you already have the Changes DVD, you can pretty much skip this unless you are a big time Godsmack fan or want to see them performing more songs from Awake other than the title track. People say the audio is horrible. That is the major complaint from most reviewers and I have to agree, to an extent. The worst part of it is Sully's vocals. In this concert, his audio levels are way down. You really have to turn up your TV in order to hear him. However I noticed that his voice seems to become clearer and louder as you progressed through the concert or maybe that was my ears adjusting to the low volume. To simply put it, the worst part is the beginning and I swear I also hear a slight background ping in the beginning as well from the snare drum. Other then that problem, this is a pretty decent DVD and show from 2001. The largest problem however isn't even the fault of the DVD. If you have seen the Changes DVD, you will be spoiled by how flawless it is and will view this one as being a lame imitation. If you want to get Live and don't have changes yet, I advise you to buy this one first so you won't be so negative to it the first time you see it. Last comment: $23? I wouldn't pay that price unless my life depended on it. Go to a Best Buy, they have it for a shockingly low 6.29! Is that an unbelievable price difference or what? Well like I said if you are a big Godsmack fan check this out, otherwise you can skip it.
