Korn will never be known as a particularly technical or progressive band, and they are most definitely not metal, but there is no denying the infectious energy they bring, or the life the helped inject into the music scene of the mid 1990s, along with Rage Against the Machine, providing something of an antidote to the grunge scene.
Now, this is not meant as a retrospective on Korn's career. We all know I haven't the knowledge to successfully attempt anything like that. I do find it difficult to ignore as I watch this concert and reflect on how much enjoyment I have gotten from Korn's music over the years.
The concert is well shot and expertly put together, never lingering too long on any one member, while giving the full stage it's due. I have seen many concert DVD's where they are edited to the edge of insanity, fortunately, this disk avoids those problems. I felt as if I was part of the audience, an intimate experience that puts you right there. Watching from an angle near the rear of the auditorium, watching the sea of people jumping in unison put me right back at the shows I witnessed.
The technical aspects of the disk are very good. The video is anamorphic widescreen in a ratio of 1.78:1. The colors are sharp, and there are no digital issues that caught my eye. Audio is presented in Dolby stereo and 5.1, as well as DTS 5.1.
Bottomline. If you are a fan of Korn, you will definitely want to add this to your collection. It may not have any extras, but none are needed as the performance here is strong enough to carry it.
