 awesome Aug 28, 2009
the documenary is very well done and of the amazing band 311, also came early than projected
Great DVD for any true 311 fan Jul 30, 2009
Pretty much as the title says this is a great DVD for any true 311 fan. I have both ETSD and ETSD2 and this one is definitely a bit better due to the length of the DVD and the professionalism. But with that being said, ETSD (the original) is also a great DVD to add to the 311 collection. It is fun to see a DVD when they were at such a great point in their music careers.

Enlarged to Show Detail (1996)
A "behind the scenes" DVD Epilogue to the Debut Trilogy containing interviews, music videos, concert footage, etc. - with a bonus EP of outtakes from 1995.
THE TRANSITION YEARS, 1997-2001
Transistor (1997)
4th Studio LP: The next phase in 311's evolution begins with this ambitious and psychedelic exploration of their unique style. This is their longest album, and it shows a substantial decrease in the rap/sing ratio. Transistor is my 4th favorite release (or 2nd fave if you count the first three LPs as one).
Soundsystem (1999)
5th Studio LP: While this follow-up to Transistor is not a huge leap forward style-wise, they still "come original" here. Soundsystem is really just as high quality as Transistor, which is only slightly more favored because it is longer. Soundsystem, technically my 5th favorite LP, is the last 311 album that I would describe as "great."
From Chaos (2001)
6th Studio LP: This is the 3rd and final album of the Transitional phase started by Transistor and continued with Soundsystem. This album is not a huge departure from Soundsystem, but to me it far inferior. Front-man Nick Hexum was suffering from a long-term relationship break-up, and it shows. This album attempts to herald the dawning of a new era for the band, but it instead accentuates the ending of their glorious initial decade. From Chaos is tied with DTOM (2005) for my least favorite 311 studio LP, but it still has a couple killer tracks, like "Sick Tight."
Enlarged to Show Detail #2 (2001)
A "behind the scenes" DVD Epilogue to the Transition Years containing interviews, music videos, concert footage, etc. - with a bonus EP of outtakes from 1999 and 2001. I actually like this well-produced DVD better than the original ETSD (96).
THE NEW SCHOOL, 2002-?
...
Live in New Orleans - 311 Day (2004)
Only four songs are missing from this epic five-hour concert (which I attended). This DVD features the live performance of 64 songs, mostly from 311's 1990-2003 releases. A handful of rare outtakes and covers were also played, including a reggae classic from Led Zeppelin.

ETSD a little blurry. Jan 04, 2004
I loved ETSD 1, and don't get me wrong, I like this one also, but it's just not on the same level as the first. The editing is shotty and the cover is poorly designed. I guess aside from technical aspects, this dvd is excellent, but those kind of things just grate on my nerves.
The single best part of the dvd? "Do not fistfight the bears. They are very good fighters!"
