4/5 hmmm...
  by Mike (Boise ID)
I like this dvd, but I think it could have been a lot better. I was disappointed because I watched the hell out of "and all that could have been". If you are looking for the ultimate NIN concert then I would highly recommend that one instead. I played that dvd in the background all the time, it was an awesome concert and I believe it is much longer.

By itself there is absolutely nothing wrong with this dvd, I was just expecting it to 1Up the last one. Beside you in time is great, the sound quality is great, and the video quality is great. This is worth owning, but in my opinion it is a step down from the last dvd they put out and I just don't revisit this one at all. 4 out of 5.

5/5 Electrifying Concert on DVD
  by Dr. Feelgood (USA)
The stage show, lighting, sound and HD quality image really comes across on this DVD/Video. Plus the Live versions of NIN'S best material, makes for excellent viewing and listening. Also included on the bonus material is the video ONLY and some rehearsal footage.

5/5 FOR ALL NIN COLLECTORS
  by M. Clarke (BX, NY (USA))
If you are a FAN of NIN, this is a must have for your collection.
I had the DVD and bought the Blu-Ray version as soon as I got a Blu-Ray Player.

3/5 Just Like Being There...With A Really Bad Seat
  by J Bug (British Columbia, Canada)
Don't get me wrong this is a great show and the boys are in fine form. Trent Reznor damn near makes your ears bleed and the sound and picture quality is awesome. Filmed during the North American tour in 2006 it's also complete in terms of its song selection and the price is reasonable. However if you're looking for some insight into the band, interviews or backstage footage it just isn't here. The concert has also been filmed from a distance which wasn't really what I had in mind when I bought this. Instead of actually seeing Trent, Josh, Alessandro or Jordie performing for most of the DVD you get a really long shot of a small blurry person on stage and a bunch of waving arms and heads covering the bottom half of the TV screen. Occasionally someone will crowd surf past obscuring things even more. The picture quality although great is dark, grainy and smoky. Towards the end of the concert a giant gauze screen comes down and covers the stage entirely then we get to see pictures of amoebas, random animals and world atrocities but again No Band.

The extras aren't much better in terms of insight just footage of the band rehearsing in 2005; Everyday Is Exactly The Same and Love Is Not Enough. We also get a couple of music videos; The Hand That Feeds and Only and a stills gallery shot during the performance.

Unless you're a die-hard fan I'm sorry but I can't really recommend this and I know you'll hate me for it. But I bought this hoping to at least see the band perform or possibly speak during an interview or random backstage moment I didn't expect to once again feel like I've got a bad seat to the show. I've already seen the crowd shots, outstretched arms and tiny man on stage. Maybe we just aren't meant to get close to NIN, maybe they are an enigma.


5/5 Great blu-ray ! No DTS ...
  by Gilberto Dotti Cesa (Flores da Cunha, RS Brasil)
I write from Brasil. I have the DVD and now bought from Amazon the blu-ray version. This blu-ray and the DVD are an autentic VISUAL AND SONOR EARTHQUAKE !!!. The performances of the musicians are very good, especially the showman Aaron North, and of course, Mr. Trent Reznor ! One of the best quality video and sound I've seen and heard ! But someone can explain why there is not DTS sound in this blu-ray, it exists in the DVD and is the best!!! [...]if you want to !
