Description of Incubus: Look Alive:
Incubus: Look Alive is a dedicated summation of the state of Incubus, the alt-metal band born in the San Fernando Valley. Generally well-regarded by music critics who have noted the group’s evolution since its formation in 1991, Incubus emphasizes tracks from their most recent album, Light Grenades, on Look Alive, a concert disc shot during a world tour. While the seemingly low-key band takes to the road in some fairly exotic places, it demonstrates during live performances of the jangly "Quicksand," the hard-rocking "Megalomaniac," and dramatic "Anna Molly" that vocalist Brandon Boyd, guitarist Mike Einziger, bassist Dirk Lance, and drummer Jose Pasillas are close to mastering their ever-developing penchant for radical tonal shifts within songs. Melodically drifting while rhythmically sputtering and exploding, Incubus’ most up-to-date work, perhaps especially played in concert, proves the group is exploring uncharted territory of its own. A novel element on this disc is travel footage from the band’s tour, including images from Israel, Dubai, London, and peculiarly beautiful, surreal shots of Iceland. --Tom Keogh
Incubus: Look Alive Reviews:
Incubus "Look Alive" CD/DVD 
2009-11-08 - I originally bought the standard single DVD edition of "Look Alive" because, 1.I LOVE this Band! 2.New concert footage of this band! But what I did not know was that there was a limited CD/DVD version of it at Best Buy stores. Well, when I found this out naturally it piqued my interest. It turns out the cd consists of 11 original scores created for the dvd by guitarist Mike Einziger and heard at different parts within the dvd. All of the scores are stand-out tracks and great for an Incubus collection. The cd also includes 6 bonus live tracks including the new songs Punch Drunk and Look Alive.
--Bottom Line--
Buy the CD/DVD version of "Look Alive" even if it is a few dollars more. Also the DVD is Region 0 so no matter where you buy it from the DVD will work on your player.
Thanks,
And I hope this was helpful. :-)
Incubus - Look Alive dvd
2009-02-16 - Being an avid Incubus (Brandon Boyd!) fan, I finally acquired this dvd. It was a well spent purchase, what a fantastic portrait of a very funloving and talented band. The guys are are incredible performers and watching their comraderie is very enjoyable. Incubus is and will always be one of rocks premier bands, you're awesome guys!
Yeah!
2009-02-04 - Closest DVD to a live show ever! Blu-Ray is a must. Brilliant footage, very sharply edited and mixed - sound is incredible in surround; makes an art form of the live show visuals alone. Amazing live performances of all of Light Grenades (except LG and Pendulous threads), of Megalomaniac, Pistola, a crazy tripped out version of Redefine. After a totally gripping beginning kicked off perfectly by Dig, we wander through Iceland, Europe, Dubai and Israel with the boys. Then we reach the United States, they perform at home, Mike goes through surgery and his brutal playing recovery and back at it on the road. I definitely appreciated the cutting between different shows on the world tour. Ben Kenney lends a presence that elevates the whole sound. You can really see/hear what a good fit he is. No hate towards Alex, of course. Incubus could never be what it is to me without him, but evolution/change in art, as in life, is inevitable. Anyway, the boys speak for themselves about their tunes and what an amazing ride the band has had. I imagine they invested quite a bit of energy into making this DVD. I'm sure it will VASTLY widen their audience even more. It sheds such light on their great personal characters, personalities and the impetus behind Brandon's songwriting. All in all, a brilliantly produced DVD. It ends on the perfect bittersweet note, worthy of my all time one-and-only fave rock band. Props to the fans who attended 90 shows!
Hoped for more bonus features. 
2009-01-22 - When I first got the DVD I was certainly pleased with the product. I bought the Blu Ray on a pre-sale, when I finally got it I thought it would have some sort of bonus features like the Red Rocks Blu Ray did, being that the Blu Ray disc has more storage capacities than a DVD. I thought, you know, maybe they'll (by they I don't mean the actual band) include all of their music videos (what fan wouldn't like that). Maybe the whole footage of their KROQ appearance., but no just a different menu. The quality of the Blu Ray obviously is amazing to say the least, but you can tell the footage comes from the different cameras, as the scenes changes one notices the changes in quality of the different cameras. All in all I'm still happy i got, being that I'm long time Incubus fan.
Awesome
