Live Reviews: I love Korn, but this is not the band at thier best.  2008-03-13 - I strongly reccomend not buying this DVD. The sound quality is pretty bad and they change camera positions way too fast. The only good thing about this show is that they played some of thier best songs but the concert itself is not very long. I have seen Korn live two times and on both occasions they sounded much better than they do on this DVD. Definately buy one of Korn's other films instead.
Damn Good  2008-01-19 - Fantastic DVD, makes me crave seeing another live Korn performance. Only reason i've not made it a 5 star rating is that i was expecting just a great live show, this DVD has special effects added into the concert which don't get me wrong isn't a bad thing, i just didn't expect it. I would say its another great addition to my Korn collection and its worth having.
Not a good show.  2006-09-30 - Korn is one of the best live bands I've ever seen. I should know. I've seen them FIVE different times in concert. In 2002, on the eve of the release of "Untouchables", they played a sold out show at the Hammerstein ballroom in NYC. What followed was a band that obviously hadn't played a live show in some time.
Jonathan is overweight, out of shape, and seems (at that time) to be losing his hair. He has to hold onto his microphone stand half of the time. He has gotten into shape (and looks much better now), but in June of 2002 he looked as if he had one too many cheeseburgers.
The rest of the band plays pretty subdued compared to other performances I've seen. They have obvious difficulty on (then) new songs such as "Blame", "Embrace", and "Thoughtless". Jonathan's vocals, especially when he has to sing high notes, really suffer. I'm not trying to slam them or anything, but you can tell they needed to get some more touring under their belts to get the rust off. The opening "Here to Stay" is the highlight, with everyone hitting on all cylinders on that one.
The back of the case lists Metallica's "One" as er, one of the tracks (no pun intended). However, while they do perform the song, they only play about one minute of it (the fast "darkness, imprisoning me, all that I see...." part) as part of a melody with "Shoots and Ladders" and "Justin".
There is a 2nd disc, with a 10 minute or so feature on creating the lights/effects for the show. Apparently they almost didn't pull it off, and if you watch the show, there is one major production screwup: The curtain falls to reveal the band about 3 seconds too early.
There is also the option of watching the background videos that play behind the band during the concert as a standalone. It's a nice touch, but gets old real fast, unless you're planning on recreating the concert in your basement or something.
Overall, I applaud the effort and am glad it was released, but it just doesn't hold up to other performances. The "Live on the Other Side" DVD from 2006 (from the same venue) is miles better.
Great DVD! KoRn RULES!  2006-07-31 - This DVD rocks! The set list is great! You get sweet songs like Trash and Faget as well as some rarities like Embrace and Blame. KoRn is on fire during this show. If you like KoRn get this DVD now and rock out!
Good performance  2006-07-07 - KoRn just surprised me. I haven't had great expectation on seeing them live on stage. Always thought Davis' voice was a kind way weak on the stage but at this point I should review my opinion on that.
Not only KoRn's singer performs well on this show as the whole band do it fairly.
Bottom line is that this footage will entertain you for sure because they honestly did sweat to make it genuine.
Technicaly and musicaly this was a great show.
