Incubus - The Morning View Sessions Reviews: Amazing!  2008-11-29 - This is an absolutely amazing concert dvd. I am a long time incubus fan and i love it. I think it has the best version of "The Warmth" ever recorded and Brandon's vocals are dead on for every song. Even if you're not an incubus fan, you will be after watching this. Must have!
very good (if you're an incubus fan)  2008-10-30 - If you are really into incubus, I highly recommend this DVD. It contains a full concert with good sound and video quality. Along with the concert comes a bunch of video clips that give you some insight into the quirks and personality of the band members. I really enjoyed it and have watched it several times. But then again i was a huge incubus fan to start with.
Awesome DVD  2008-03-28 - For any true Incubus I highly recommend this! Boyd throws it down with the vocals and the camera work is awesome throughout the whole set. Well worth the $$$ and is definitely one of my favorite CD's to chill out to...
great  2007-09-06 - This dvd is a small concert in new york. The set list is very good with most songs from the morning view cd. also make sure to check out the extra stuff, also very interesting.
Awesome View  2005-08-05 - The Morning View Sessions is a recording of the concert held for an extremely fortunate select few, in an extremely small and intimate venue in New York on the day the album, Morning View, was released.
What I would have given to have been there...
The concert showcases the band's strength as a cohesive art machine. While everyone with an album out there these days refers to themselves as an artist, I feel that a likewise select few are worthy of the title. Incubus is one of these few.
The impressive aspect of the live Incubus experience is how the band manages to recreate a studio sound using a DJ, a lone guitar, a lone bass, a lone voaclist and a set of drums. Other bands fail dismally trying to extrapolate the studio performance into a live experience; Incubus manage effortlessly. Retrospectively, one appreciates the deftness of the musicians' less-is-more approach to songwriting. And it must be said, guitarist Michael Einziger is horribly underrated out there - the man is a god.
The concert itself is a good mix of old and new tracks - a good couple of the new songs appear in the show, as well as old favourites like Pardon Me and The Warmth. The performance is a little understated - one wonders at first if it might be an MTv Unplugged show, given the atmosphere, and you do sense that the band may be a little hemmed-in, surrounded on all sides by the audience while they perform on a tiny stage in the middle of the whole thing. Having seen other live Incubus shows, I know they can really belt it out in an arena, and do it well; nevertheless, it is always good to see the versatility that such an intimate setting provides.
In addition to the concert - too short, in my opinion; a mere 12 tracks is hardly a taste of Incubus' vast capabilities - the disc features the video for the lead single Wish you were Here, as well as the making of the video, which is really cool. Also included is a behind-the-scenes of the concert, which is a nice addition.
It is a superb complement to the already-unbeatable album, Morning View, and a must-have for all fans.
