Live from the Hard Rock (Deluxe Fan Pack Edition, CD/VCD) Reviews:
Yes. 
2009-06-25 - I love the intro for this cd. They sound awsome live. David sounds like the lead singer of Green Day. You'll know what I meen in Shut Up. A must buy.....if you like simple plan.
Simple Plan just keep getting better and better......
2006-01-28 - Without a doubt one of the most popular modern punk rock bands today, the Canada based Simple Plan continue to impress me with their fantastic albums and brilliant live shows. This DVD, in particular, shows exactly why this group is at the forefront of punk rock today. It is quite simple: if you are a fan of this band and you haven't yet bought the DVD, punch yourself for not owning it yet, dig out twenty or thirty bucks from your wallet or purse and go and purchase it. If you happen to be one of the few unfortunate people who doesn't own a DVD player, buy it anyway just for the CD version which features every song they performed.
The reason why Simple Plan are a favourite among punk bands these days, is because they are the voice of every angst-ridden, troubled teen out there. They cover all aspects of youth culture, eg. love ("I'd Do Anything", "Addicted"), broken relationships ("I Won't Be There", "You Don't Mean Anything"), family issues ("Perfect"), general stress ("God Must Hate Me", "Untitled") and of course, partying ("Jump"). Every teenager who has these sort of complications in their life, has a form of emotional release when they listen to Simple Plan. The listeners connect with the band through their heartfelt and emotional lyrics. Oh yeah, and they just happen to make some kick-a*s music too.
This Live DVD/CD set captures the group at their best, as they perform their most popular hits in front of a ten thousand plus crowd in Orlando, Florida at the MTV Hard Rock concert.
My personal favourite on the DVD, is "Perfect", their closing track. I believe every teenager on the planet can relate in some way to this song. Everyone has issues with their parents. The song starts off as an acoustic version, with Pierre letting the crowd provide the vocals. This is fantastic to listen to. Knowing that everyone out there feels the lyrics and connects with them, and singing them out as loud as possible, is enough to send a shiver up AND down your spine. After the audience sings the first chorus, the music kicks in and the band rock out. Pierre takes over and delivers the rest of the song.
"Perfect" is the stand out song for me, but the entire DVD is just dead-set fantastic.
The only negative thing I have to say is about the CD. The tracks "Shut Up" and "Me Against The World", two of the best songs on their 2nd album Still Not Getting Any, don't go for the full song. For example, "Shut Up" only goes for 1:54 mins and it automatically finishes right after the first chorus. "Me Against The World" ends after Pierre says "say what you want to, we'll never let you in..." and goes straight on into "Crazy". Apart from these two small mistakes, the album is superb. The DVD is even better. It captures all five members at the peak of their talents, lifting the roof off with their insanely catchy music.
And there just happens to be acoustic versions of three different songs on the CD. That just tops it off.
I reckon Simple Plan will be around for years and years to come.
Their Best CD Yet!
2005-12-05 - I can't say enough about this CD! Out of all of their CD's (and we have them ALL!) we love this the most. They are amazing live! We saw Simple Plan in Canada recently and they rock...their personalities really show through when performing live and you have to hear this CD! The music is incredible and they don't hold back at all. Awesome CD!
AMAZING!
2005-10-26 - I dunno why everyone always disses Simple Plan. They are a unique band and have really catchy songs. Plus, they are all cute! They sing about fun things, and also serious things. If you are looking for a great band that you can jump around to, pick this cd up!
