9/10
Nothing can beat this.
31 December 2005
Warning: Spoilers
A boiling hot summer day in Milton Keynes (we don't have many hot days in the UK so a hot day on its own is good)65,000 people in a big field looking place.... what more can you want?! The weekend is something that you think you will never experience again,You try to concentrate on every moment, every stupid/funny thing Billie Joe does so that you wont forget, Its something that you think you wont be able to capture moment like this again. At the start of the gig, I turned to a friend and said to her 'This is the best day of my life, I hope they release it on DVD'. And they did. The first time I watched it, I got back all the butterfly's and happiness that I had when I was there, watching Billie Joe interact with the crowd (no other live act can beat him)watching Mike Dirnt play the bass like it should be played and generally laughing my head off and Tre Cool faces as he drums. If you went to this gig, than you should buy it, It brings back all the great memories of the day, and if you didn't go then buy it cus you can see what you missed out on and enjoy just as much. There are only a few complaints about the DVD, I think its got too many special effects in it, It'll flash Billie, then to the crowd, then do a weird thing with the colours, than to mike, etc. You spend some of the time trying to work out where you are and who your looking at. I would've been happy enough just having one camera on the stage.....actually, maybe on the crowd occasionally otherwise you wouldn't get to see how many people where there. And me being the lucky person I am, I got to spot myself in the crowd. Which for a person who went is amazing. Also, they didn't include some of the songs that were played, I went on the first date, on the Saturday, and on performance I was looking forward to was seeing Knowledge, Maria, We are the champions and then seeing the songs they performed on Sunday such as Homecoming. Anyways to some up, a brilliant DVD, As I'm writing this I've actually got it on, listening to my favourite live performance of Minority. Go out and buy it, It's totally worth it!
