The next best thing to seeing them live!

Machine Head usually win just about every kind of 'best live band' award in metal magazines and being someone who sees them every time they're over here I couldn't agree more. As someone absolutely obsessed with this band it's hard for me to review this live offering objectively, but it is one of the best live music DVD's around, as now it's easier to produce them these days, there are a lot of bad ones.

MH usually have a predictable (but certainly crowd pleasing) live set and this show is no exceptions; all of the classics are there; 'Davidian', 'Ten Ton Hammer', 'Old' etc and the amazing opener 'Imperium'. Included as well are music videos, and a documentary about the recording of 'through the ashes...' in which the band talk about a lot of personal issues and the troubles and triumphs they've faced.

It's all well filmed and sounds brilliant. Even if your not a crazed MH fan, this DVD may convert a few more people to go see the 'best live band in metal' as it says that they're touted as on the sleeve... and they certainly aren't lying.
