Pretty good review. I've been close to writing a review for a little while but feel I need to watch it another time or two. One interesting thing is that she brought up Collective Soul's DVD Home. I was going to make the same comparison. Home is the best DVD of this type I've ever seen.

My copy has been on back order for two weeks now. Hopefully soon-ERIC

It's nice to read a review where they get the facts right.

I agree that Collective Soul's Home DVD with the Atlanta Youth Symphony is a great concert, perhaps even a little better than OWE.

One comment from the reviewer makes me think he was watching the HD-Net version of the concert -

I thought that the orchestra overwhelmed the band at times, and some of the brass was mixed too loud in the rear surround speakers. The lone tuba player, and perhaps the bass trombonist, must have paid off the sound engineer, because they were mixed excessively loud in the rear surrounds, at times, making things sound very unnatural and distracting. The guitars could have been mixed a little louder too,

This is very true in this version. If you want to hear the orchestra upfront and the band, especially the guitars in the background, watch it on HD-Net.

He obviously had the DVD though, considering his remarks about the extras etc.

He apparently didn't know that they did record some of Dennis' songs, but they weren't allowed to release them.
