The DVD is awesome and it starts out with the high dose of power. Starting off by ripping into "Trendy", the band jams on "Everything Sucks", before moving onto "Turn the Radio Off". RBF takes all three and stretches them out into what seems to be one continuous lyrical jam. The strength of the band shows clearly here as they warm their audience up, preparing them for one hell of a rockin' show. All of the songs on the DVD can be found on the CDs, but they are arranged differently, which makes the DVD seem like a whole other show.
The DVD also has a special guest. Rachel Minton from Zolof the Rock and Roll Destroyer drops by to lend vocals on "She Has a Girlfriend Now", which was originally recorded with Gwen Stefani. Not only does she have a beautiful voice, but she is smoking hot too. "Unity", which is a song done by Operation Ivy is also covered. Ali Tabatabaee from Zebrahead lends his hot rapping vocals to this track and shows why he has an awesome flow. The extras on the DVD include a band rehearsal, what happens in the editing room, and special day with Aaron and Scott "Aaron and Scott Unplugged" which is fucking hilarious.
Reel Big Fish is totally underrated and doesn't get the respect from the music industry or the radio networks. That's fine, because RBF, now own a label, and don't need the hype the industry shits out. They have their fans, and what loyal fans we are. RBF is to ska what the Grateful Dead were for up-and-coming jam bands. They follow their own path and make music the way they want without having to sellout.
If you want to know why these guys rock so hard, all the evidence is here. As for me, I can't wait till they come back around on tour again, 'cause babies, I'll be there in the pit, sweating like a pig going crazy with Reel Big Fish. Thanks again, boys, for over a decades worth of great music and a ton of fun.

"She Has a Girlfriend Now" was recorded with Monique Powell of Save Ferris.
If Gwen Stefani was the Madonna of 90's Ska, Monique Powell was Cyndi Lauper.
