Disco de No Doubt: “Rock Steady Live [DVD]”

No Doubt is AMAZING live! This show is one of the best.

The set is:

Bonus Material:

I love No Doubt and hope they don't stop going for a long time. I reccomend this to all No Doubt fans, the live footage is amazing.

P.S. I reccomend the Boom Box Box Set.

I just don't understand why videographers in the post-MTV/VH1 age persist on editing concert footage to the point where you can't focus on the performers for more than 1 nanosecond without doing rapid-fire zoom-in-outs, jump-cutting, multi-angle perspectives, intentionally-jerky-camera-motion, etc., etc., etc.??? It might be fine for a music video in one-song shots, but for an entire *&$#!@ concert video? I had a headache two songs into the video and had to shut it off. Too bad because I love ND and wished I could have enjoyed their concert footage. Guess this is just how people enjoy watching concerts on video these days...

I had the good fortune of seeing this particular show being filmed at Long Beach Arena back in 2002 or 3 whenever it was. They did a double headline tour with Garbage. The band hit it out of the park that night. Gwen stefani exhausted me and the set list was brilliant .This dvd captures all the energy and fun of that evening, As far as the parental advisory Gwen uses the F-word sparingly, not enough to send you or your children to hell. This is an energetic fun dvd with great xtra's e. g. interviews with the band and feauturettes with each member. Get it now its a great dvd when you're not feeling so great.

No Doubt is defiantly a live band and this is where they shine, I thoroughly enjoyed this DVD. Several songs that they performed sound much better live. Most notably "Platinum Blonde Life" and "Don't Let Me Down", these songs totally rock over the CD version. I think they should have recorded them with the same energy and faster live beat to start with. Some bands loose something when they play live, not with No Doubt!

ND is not a band to stand around the stage looking like mannequins either. Gwen is constantly running from one side of the stage to the other. She can really get the fans pumped up. Tony (Bassist) even gets into the act a few times.

My only gripe with this DVD is that the 4 bonus songs seem to be recorded at a different sound level. I need to turn the volume up a good bit to get decent sound.

Overall it's a stellar performance by ND, it makes me wish I could have seen the Rock Steady tour in person. Fans of No Doubt will not be disappointed with this DVD. I know I wasn't.

No Doubt is, by far, the best live band of the past decade. Their energy is absolutely infectious and who doesn't love Gwen Stefani? No Doubt was the first concert I ever attended in 2000, and if you haven't seen them live, I suggest doing so. They are amazing.
