COMMUNITY REVIEWS

URGH submitted by clayton on November 14, 2012, 1:25pm This DVD doesn't contain all the footage but it does have a lot of great performances not to be missed

Nonstop is right submitted by ccrose on August 27, 2019, 8:11pm It’s a big dose of punk. Some of the unknowns are really good.

A Lot of Fun submitted by jibkidder on June 16, 2022, 7:59am There should be more concert albums like this - it shows a wide variety of short performances in a bunch of different genres. If only this collection didn't exclude rap performances, it would truly give a sense of popular music innovation in a fertile period. The performances that aren't great or didn't age well are hilarious, so it's all fun in the end.
