Gov't Mule - The Deepest End DVD Review

The Deepest End "package" consists of two CDs which contain a total of 20 songs, and a bonus DVD which also includes 20 songs. Only seven of the songs performed on the DVD are also found on the CD, which means that if you want to experience the entire 5 1/2 hour concert you will need to listen to both the CDs and the DVD. The production of this "bonus DVD" was amazing. The Dolby 5.1 surround provided excellent instrument separation and clarity, and, most importantly, the bass mixes sounded thunderous. The picture was very clear, sharp and colorful, and the brightly lit stage looked superb. Overall the camera work was excellent, but sometimes the angle changes came a little too quickly. I would also have liked to see a few more wider-angle shots showing the entire stage, but all of the key solo performances were expertly captured with effective close-ups.

This was easily one of the best live packages to come out in 2003, and at an average price of about $25 dollars, is one of the best bargains you are likely to find.
