 If you must buy one Phantom Planet DVD... Mar 13, 2005
...then don't get this. Opt instead for the newer 'Chicago, Chicagogoing, Chicagogone', which contains TWO full-length live shows and so much bonus material it's almost as if they're overcompensating for the scant offerings of 'Live at the Troubadour'. With the exception of 'The Guest', all songs performed on 'Troubadour' also appear on 'Chicago', often in tighter form, especially the newer songs.
However, upon revisiting 'Troubadour' after viewing 'Chicago', there is some merit to this earlier release, since it features Phantom Planet Mark II, i.e. before guitarist Jacques Brautbar quit to become a full-time photographer. As seen in the 'Chicago' DVD, the band chose not to fill his spot they did when drummer Jeff Conrad replaced Jason Schwartzman, so 'Troubadour' is a reminder of what they were like as a quintet. When you compare the two DVDs, you can really tell what Brautbar brought to the band's sound, which has been retooled to accomodate the four-man lineup on 'Chicago'. As a result, if you like their studio albums, then 'Troubadour' is a closer replica compared to 'Chicago'. But if paying for just six songs is too much for you, you could also get the CD version of this show from www.phantomplanetbootlegs.com , though it doesn't include 'California' (their signature song) like the namesake DVD does, oddly enough.
In a nutshell, the 'Live at the Troubadour' DVD is more suitable for hardcore fans only, or as a useful companion piece to the 'Chicago' DVD for anyone who wants to see how losing a major contributor to a band's sound doesn't have to spell the end.

Better Live. Sep 26, 2004
I got this DVD as a gift after seeing them live at Coachella Fest 2004. I wasn't as excited to see them on the DVD as I was at Coachella Fest. I just guess it's cuz i was front row and got to touch alex's sexy body. I thought this DVD would make me relive my happiness but instead it brought me frustration because i thought it would be better since the performance i went to was wild and full of adrenaline. I didn't like the fact that theres not much songs on it, just 8 and the DVD is a mere 28 minutes. Tsk, Tsk.
Nothing special, but enjoyable. Apr 16, 2004
I think this DVD is pretty much a must-have for the type of Phantom Planet fan who likes to collect their stuff, which is initially why I bought it in the first place. With that being said, to be truthful, "Live at the Troubadour" is nothing extraordinary.They sound fantastic live, but it just wasn't as exciting watching it on DVD as it was seeing them in person. The DVD doesn't seem to really capture the energy that I know this amazing band is more than capable of showing. There also aren't many extra features to enjoy besides a picture gallery. Despite this, I enjoyed all of the songs they played and the picture quality is good. It's not the best, but I would recommend it for anyone who is a big fan of the band or a Phantom Planet collector. Songs included:
1. The Happy Ending
2. The Guest
3. California
4. Big Brat
5. Turn Smile Shift Repeat
6. The Meantime
7. All Over Again

I Love Phantom Planet Dec 01, 2003
I'm so happy! I have never been able to see Phantom Planet live so this was a great opportunity for me. The DVD is very professional and the sound is great! I enjoyed seeing the performers work in a real concert environment as opposed to being staged in a video. I loved the energy of the performers. Who can not love Jacques jumping up and down? I think they sounded absolutely fantastic. I like that the music is rocking harder and the new drummer was very good.
