Old fan or new convert, you can't go wrong with this DVD Mar 21, 2010 One of Canada's best indie rock bands, Tegan and Sara, don't disappoint with their first DVD release. This disc offers a full concert with commentary, a 'making of' video with commentary, a tour video, music videos, and photos with commentary! There's a lot of Tegan and Sara here to satisfy fans, or anyone interested in a glimpse of what studio work and touring is really like.
The only thing missing from this DVD was the concert banter that Tegan and Sara are known for. For non-fans, I'll just say that around half of a Tegan and Sara concert is them chatting with the audience, so its absence here is disappointing. I believe they remarked in the commentary that it was removed because it might become dated. Still, I think it would have been a better choice to have both the original version and the edited version, if possible.
I'm still giving this DVD five stars, because all the Tegan and Sara commentary more than makes up for the omission.
Tegan & Sara rock Sep 15, 2009 This DVD is a must for any serious Tegan & Sara fan. The live performance is great, the making of So Jealous is interesting especially the fights between the girls, the photos are cool, everything is pretty interesting and worth watching if you are a huge fan

Remarkably funny, a joy for any Tegan and Sara fan to own Jan 24, 2008 This dvd focuses and features Tegan and Sara performing one of their concerts live. The only disppointing thing is that all of their famous live on stage banter was edited out. They explain why on the dvd at some point. Though the live concert performance is considered the main focus, what the fans will enjoy the most is an movie about being "On Tour" that is partly directed by Tegan Quin herself. Its a short little movie of the whole band on tour, what they do in their down time such as waiting to be checked into hotel rooms or waiting at gas stations while gas is being refilled, other fun stuff the fans and the people never usually get to see. Fans can get to know their favorite band on a more personal level and not just know the music. Another feature of the dvd that will be a favorite for the fans is the "Making of So Jealus" movie, this is again like the "On Tour" movie and just really gives the fans a chance to get to know the sisters Quin more. Not only this, but the "Making of So Jealous" movie has optional commentary from Tegan and Sara themselves. And if you think thats not enough, they also include all five of their music videos (up to the point of the finishing of the dvd) and each video has optional commentary from the sisters Quin also. Overall, just perfect for any hardcore fan to own, and this dvd is also a great way for the new or casual fan to learn more about the band. Overall, a real treat.

I love Tegan and Sara. Dec 05, 2007 Not as good as the dvd included with The Con. The production quality isn't as great, and there's even more bickering. And the live portion edits out all of their stage banter! That's what we all love about Tegan and Sara!
But overall, if you're a T&S fan, it's worth your money. I can't get enough! I love these girls!
The Mighty Quins Sep 28, 2007 I became aware of Tegan and Sara through THE CON. After watching THE CON- THE MOVIE a couple of times, I was hungry for more and came across IT'S NOT FUN. DON'T DO IT. I was struck by how different they appeared in the older DVD. Sara seems so much younger than Tegan and almost like someone who needs to be taken care of. Unlike the Sara of TCTM who tells Tegan off at least three times. DON'T DO IT . . . starts with them in concert. Missing is the in-between song banter but it is still a good mix of getting to know their older material and seeing them play live if you never have. The whole CD is like their past history and THE Con is like the beginning of a new chapter.
