Content First. Most live concert DVDs give you the main concert (obviously), an interview/rockumentary if your lucky and perhaps an easter egg or two of the band picking up a grammy or maybe clips of the boys mucking about on tour. In this DVD the Foo Fighters have really rewarded their fans. The main concert is an hour and a half of a gig in Toronto with tracklisting as below:
All My Life
My Hero
Breakout
Have It All
Generator
Learn To Fly
For All The Cows
Stacked Actors
Low
Hey, Johnny Park
Monkey Wrench
Times Like These
Aurora
Tired Of You
Everlong
The performance is well polished, and gives a good feel for the band as they are in concert. Many FF favourites are here, and the whole show is unedited for the most part, to capture the between song banter from Dave Grohl.

FF have also complimented the above concert with 4 tracks from their acoustic set (live from Washington) and a couple of extra tracks from Slane Castle in Ireland.

Whereas this might have been the standard offering from most bands, FF have then added a complete concert (audio only) from their first gig in Iceland.

Easter Eggs. If you can find them, and as you might have expected, there are easter eggs of clips of the band mucking about on tour, Dave playing drums with another band who opened for them in Reykjavik and another complete song from a US concert. What you won't expect is an easter egg of a complete warm up gig (6 whole songs) from Dublin, Ireland.

I can safely say this is an unbiased review. I'm not a die hard fan giving an automatic 5 stars to my favourite band's latest offering. I only bought the DVD because it was going cheap, and I had seen FF as support act at a concert I went to a few years back. However after playing 'Everywhere But Home' the first time, I considered myself a fan, and look forward to their next live DVD.
