Live At Folsom Field Boulder Colorado

I purchased this cd because I was lucky enough to have been in attendance during this recording in Boulder Colorado many years ago .The quality of this cd is excellent considering the age. The CD was just as great as I remember the in person concert to be. Although I never my husband and I in the crowd I definitely remember the beach ball incident lolRegardless of attending the concert or not this Cd Is a true collectors items and any fan of Dave Matthews must purchase

I've heard before that some DMB fans consider this DVD to be the 'most commercial' of all the band's releases. I guess that criticism stems from the fact that the album "Everyday" is represented a little more heavily here than it is in any other live album that has been released (which makes sense, because this is from 2001 when Everyday was first released). But for me, I like hearing the Everyday songs live, as well as the "Lillywhite" songs that came right before the Everyday period. So don't let that be a reason you are not thinking of checking this one out.This is the only DMB DVD that you will find that has such songs as "Bartender", "Digging a Ditch", "Angel", "JTR", "So Right", "The Space Between", "If I Had It All". In my opinion this DMB DVD has the "rarest" collection of songs you will find in comparison to their other video releases. It's nice to have some variety I think. So for the rarity alone, this DVD is a must have for any fan.Make no mistake though, just because there are rarer songs doesn't mean this isn't a quality release. I have watched this performance over and over again. I just really like the set, and I enjoy the song choice as I was saying above. (I mean, Bartender is one of my favorite songs ever - so yeah, it's sweet to see it played live). It's cool that this was filmed in Boulder - and we all know DMB loves Colorado. Leroi was on absolute fire on this day. I could keep going on and on why you should get it.I really hope that one day this is offered as a Blu Ray - just as I hope the other releases will be as well

With so many reviewers complaining about the video production and quality on this DVD, I was a little worried.There was no need to be.It is a very entertaining DVD, which captures the spirit of the concert really well. A great selection of songs, including my old favourites like "The space between" and "Two Step". The addition of some very talented background vocalists added not just variety, but depth at key places, without being intrusive.Much has been said of the video editing; its not to everyone's taste apparently. What is clear is that the intent was not to simply record the concert as if it was a live-TV show, but give the viewer some idea of the energy and atmosphere at the concert. To me, the occasional scenes of the crowd did not detract at all from the experience. The switching between band members wasn't annoying either, ample time was spent on each and we got to see each one doing their magic.The only reason I didn't give this a perfect five stars is the crowd noise - sometimes it was allowed to over-power the band at inappropriate times when it should have been isolated and quietened down a bit.

As a fan from the UK, I have all the live DVDs. It occurs to me that poor reviews of this production stem from people with no sense of adventure and no imagination. I absolutely love this one. I had forgotten how much until I had a Friday night with no plans and on a whim played this for the first time in a long while. It blew me away. The way it was edited for me encapsulates the essence of DMB. The beauty, the emotion and, let me go out on the edge here, the mind bending experience of a DMB concert is perfectly locked away in this creation. The visuals bring to life what to me is the essence of a DMB concert, which is living in the moment. No matter what has gone on before and what the future brings now is the time. Enjoy!!!

Yes... the video itself is all sorts of cheesy with the editing and the angles, etc. Not, what I would call, a professional live DVD as far as standards go, but I have been listening to this show for a decade now and still love it like the first time I heard it. This does not have the same intimate feeling as pretty much any other DMB DVD and it is hard for me to sit down and watch the video all the way through, but I often put it on while sitting around and half watch it and half listen to it while hanging around. For that purpose, it is great... If anything, go out and get the CD of this concert!

Any DMB will realize that the concert is the typical incredible blood flowing sound combination of violins, flutes with a jazz back tone. Yes the panning in and out and split screen shots are annoying but it is a great DVD. Most DMD "live" music is better than studio recorded, you get the real feel for the music and this is evident at Folsom Field. Big Eyed Fish and Bartender are incredible! I have never seen Dave whale like he does in Bartender, the combination of hardcare violin and winds is awe-inspiring! Great music and classic DMB lyrics make this a great buy!

I just want to say I was ALMOST put off getting this DVD by all the supposed DMB fans who complained about the editing of this video.I am a video director, and this concert ROCKS!! Brilliant production all round. As a fan from way back...don't listen to all the idiots here - you NEED this as well as Listener Supported. Both DVD's are different - BOTH great. The set list on Folsom absolutely blows away Listener Supported, though.One other thing no one else seems to mention - the show is over 2 hours and 30 minutes long - great value.If you are a fan - BUY IT!!!

As this DVD was advertised for 7.27, I bought it advertised as 'Like New'. It plays all but about two and a half songs. Shipping speed was great, however. Amazon can send to APOs very quickly (usually 10 calendar days on average). Since Wherehouse Deals had this listed again for 2.81, I went ahead and bought it. Hopefully it plays betters.
