 Long Live The D! Nov 08, 2009
I never get tired of watching this concert!This a very well filmed Seattle concert with Jack Black and Kyle Gas at their very best and is a must-have to complete your Tenacious D video collection.View it on a large screen TV with surround sound and crank it up! You will not be disappointed. Can't think of any parts I didnt like about the concert, its all good. I give this a double thumbs up, 5 stars all the way. Not for children with its adult themes, but a great buy for adults who are D fans or just music fans in general.
 Awesome. Oct 27, 2009
I am a big Tenacious D fan, and love their work, just as a heads up, this one doesn't have as many laughs as Master works 1. Probably because they didn't have as much material to work with, because the HBO episodes are the best thing on the first one. This one has one episode called 'time fixers' in it that is pretty funny. I would still recommend buying it to any Tenacious D fan, because the D will rock your socks off.
Honesty and greatness Sep 03, 2009
Two reasons is all you need to buy this DVD. The Tenacious Documentary is painfully honest, but so real that it is a "must-see". Basically, the package is worth the price for the documentary alone. However, the concert footage is also amazing, and is also a great reason to buy this DVD set. The D are surprisingly talented, either in stripped down form or in the totally blown out "stadium show" rock band format.
In the end, I agree with both KG and JB when it comes to The D. KG's desire to keep the overall concept pure, is noble and ultimately the "right" thing to do. JB's desire to take The D to the mainstream masses is also correct, and the full band stage show proves that it can work. There is an interesting schism between the two, and it makes this period in the history of The D, all the more compelling.
great doc, so so concert Sep 03, 2009
Doc on disc 2 is great so is the time travel skit and music vids, but I gotta say the concert got a little tiring. More D is always a good thing but alot of these songs are well played out. And I think the addition of the full band kills alot of what makes the D special. Dvd is definetly worth buying especially for the 2nd disc but I can't rate this a whole 5 stars. That said hopefully their next album brings fresh feeling back to the Ds concerts.
Two Words: Michael Keaton Jul 01, 2009
I can't believe no one has really mentioned "Time Fixers" in their review.
"Time Fixers" is one of the Tenacious D short films found on disc 2. And I'd say it's more funny than any of the shorts offered on the first Master Works.
Basically, it's an episode of a fictional television series, where Jack and Kyle are regularly summoned by Michael Keaton (who makes a hilarious cameo via Cutless Supreme video monitor) to fix the problems created by the Time Goblin (played by Lee). The D must go back in time to make sure that Abe Lincoln gets shot during the Ford Theatre play.
Hilarious, to say the least. Probably my favorite part of the whole set.
As for the rest of it...
Wow. Just wow. I can honestly say I like this set twice as much as the first. The new concert blows the old one out of the water. It begins on a stage designed to look like Kyle's apartment. The D play some acoustic hits, with Lee joining in on occasion. Suddenly, an electrical malfunction kills the greatest band of all time, sending them to Hell where they meet Colonel Sanders, Charlie Chaplin, and the Anti-Christ. Together, they form the Fellowship of the D, a full band that rocks for the remainder of the set.
This concert has it all. Video interludes, awesome props and costumes, even special effects. It's almost like watching a big-budget Broadway musical. I, for one, loved it.
The second disc is where the real gold is. The documentary contained within is simply perfect. Never before have I seen such an entertaining yet down-to-earth, honest portrayal of a band. You get to see The D during every stage of the tour, from conceptual designing to the aftermath. You see their families, their fights, their backstage worries. And none of it seems whiny or preachy. It's insightful and kind of sad at times, but I could feel nothing but respect for the guys once the whole thing was finished. Most celebrities are too afraid to show that much of themselves, especially when their success relies on comedy, not reality.
Anyway, I could talk for days about how great this set is. Buy it if you haven't already. It may not be filled with as much funny goodness as its predecessor, but I'd say it's way more interesting and a much better representation of who The D are as a band.
5 billion stars.
