So I just picked this up and while it's appears to be a pretty cool DVD, I'm pretty disappointed that they left off about 7 or 8 songs. Whats the point of releasing a live DVD from a historic show if you are going to cut a good portion out?

    I'm a little bored watching it. I don't think it captured their energy like it could have. I think of Live at the Garden and it makes me want to rock out. This DVD just isn't doing it for me.

    MTV mentioned it was a 26 song set - the DVD has 18 songs and you can tell they cut songs.

    5 months and I'm in Vegas :D

    Well fuck think I might not buy it now... was hoping for a nice warm up since I am now going to see them in Camden at the end of the month

    Just got rid of the DirecTV - atleast it was only $12 and it came with a bonus CD which includes them covering Loud Love!

    I don't think they are horrible, but I don't think they are as great as people make them out to be. I'm about at the point where I can't stand Cornell's AS vocals. That's just my opinion though.

    Audioslave don't suck. Maybe some people don't like them, but they are all good musicians and at least they are trying to do something new. Are people bitter b/c there can be no SG or Rage. It is shitty, that they edited the vid, but maybe they dont wanna release subpar material. I have heard part of the show, and Chris was strugglin. I would rather they left it out. As for all the AS haters, grow up a little. If you hate the band so much go to their message board and post about it.

    Tom Morello and Brad Wilk were interviewed yesterday by Jaxon of Philly's WMMR, and Morello mentioned that the omissions of songs were deliberate. He said something about them not giving everything away at once ... whatever that means. They were really excited about the show in Cuba and felt that they'd been part of something extraordinary.

    I was at Best Buy 2 Saturdays ago and I was gonna get the DVD, but when I looked at the setlist I was like WTF? I knew it was not the whole show, so I passed on it.

    Any live DVD/CD is going to suffer when they remove the background/crowd noise. It takes from the overall affect a huge amount.

    I'm liking this DVD after one viewing, but it could've used a bit more "crazy Cubans going nuts" noise.

    But definately no TB2000 or LATG... those two are instant classics (Along with Symphony&Metallica and Led Zep: How the West was Won.
    Seriously, just drop the leash already!
