 A must-have DVD for all Rage Against the Machine fans May 22, 2008
This is the first ever RATM music video released, first on VHS in 1997, then on DVD in 1999. The VHS version had a bonus audio CD with it, containing "The Ghost of Tom Joad" and some live tracks. Well, this DVD doesn't contain this cool little CD, but at has some extras instead.
This video captures the best moments of the first half of RATM's history, around and before Evil Empire (my personal all-time favourite since its release in 1996). Knowing that RATM is one the greatest live performers, all fans must see this DVD containing explosive concert performances of the greatest songs of all time.
One can also find the video clips for the first two albums on the DVD, although the secret "Bombtrack" video (of which most people believed was just a hoax) is included only on their latest DVD to date, Rage Against The Machine - Live at the Grand Olympic Auditorium.
The DVD extras are not that great, as you can access the reading list and list of organizations elsewhere. The lyrics feature is cool (should be on all music DVDs), although RATM fans got to know all of them, right? An audio version of "The Ghost of Tom Joad" is also included as a replacement for the bonus CD, but it's also available on Renegades (note however that this version is a little bit cleaner - and in my opinion, better - as the one on Renegades).
If you could own only one of the three RATM DVDs, this should be your choice.
music that pumps you up Oct 07, 2007
i seen RATM live many times and this DVD really captures the band's energy. i love the extra stuff on the DVD because it allows you to see RATM mind frame.
 Loud and Full on Nov 10, 2006
This is an awesome collection of load and full on performances from one of the most intense bands around.
Sound quality isn't the best sounds like it was recorded from a mic rather than off the desk but other than that a really good dvd. Sounds best through a massive stereo/surround system with subs!

Rage at their best... Dec 23, 2004
If you like Rage, and even if you dont, this is a must see. They are at top form here, and i have watched this over and over again. The only slight problem i have is the visual effects, but its not bad. But overall it is an amazing live film and from the opening song "bulls on parade" to the closing song of "freedom" the entire thing is great.
One of the most explosive rock visuals ever... Nov 24, 2004
I said "..one of" in my headline but the truth of the matter is that this one might actually top them all. RATM's live performances were legendary by any standard one sets and this DVD does capture to a very satisfying degree their unique talent and spirit.
Filmed on a world wide tour, this is RATM at their very peak musically and as a band. Their chemistry is absolutely stunning, their music is at its most fueled drive and the band performs it with a vengeance unparallel and almost impossible to top.
For those unlucky enough not to have witnessed one of rock's greatest bands live this DVD will more than compensate for that loss (if that could be said at all). Having said that, I'm not a big fan of live music DVDs but this one is a very special case and those who do go for the DVD format in music will easily attest to that.
It's a nice collector's item as well as it offers the "Ghost of Tom Joad" maxi with it, a song which happens to be a gem when performed live by RATM.
Coming to the performances themselves, aside of their incredible quality there's been a very good job made in capturing some funny or visually impressive moments from their concerts and this definately counts to the extras. De La Rocha's antics on the stage are to cherish and watching him show why some consider him the best rock frontman ever is addicting.
Legendary stuff.
