Is A Decade Worth Picking Up For The DVD?

Post by Driven »

I know the DVD isn't that great (or maybe I'm thinking of Healthy In Paranoid Times), but are either worth picking up for the performances on DVD, because I'm starting to collect some concert DVDs, and it might be nice to have some different OLP songs on DVD. Are the picture and sound quality any good?

I really like the live dvd they put out. its still one of my favorite live dvds.

I have not seen the decade dvd because I never bought it... so no advice on that front. The HIPT was pretty short. Just sort of a bonus for the cd. Not worth buying if you are hoping to collect dvds.

Well I have the Live DVD, which is pretty good, although the sound kind of sucks.

I think the A Decade DVD has like 6 performances, which could be worth checking out so I was just asking.

Thanks for the help!

The DVD is worth it. Also, A Decade has 2 previously unreleased songs and 3 altered mixes of older songs.

As for quality, it is not as good as what you might expect if you're buying a standalone concert DVD (also considering that it was filmed in high definition with amazing cameras). But it isn't bad, and the performance itself is great.

Wait... is it just the Canadian version of the album that has the DVD to go along with it? I thought all versions of it do, but the Wikipedia page says otherwise... I usually trust the wikipedia pages of bands, as they're down by die hard fans who know it all, although the OLP pages always seem to have a lot of false info for whatever reason.

I found that out the hard way.

But I'd like to think becuase of my "respectful complaining" I won a signed Canadian copy with the DVD. I haven't watched it in ages though.

The US version (If you ordered through OLP.com or whatever) came with a free Decade poster. Sort of an 'In Stores on X Date' deal. I think I gave it to Megan.
