Video:

The footage is home video bits from Blur on tour, so this isn't exactly HD. There's been no distinguishable remastering, for certain. The black-and-white footage looks better than the color, and all of it is soft, with serious grain. It's in its original full-frame aspect ratio.

Audio:

The 2.0 stereo track here is atrocious - it is static laden and distorted. For a music DVD to come up with this level of audio means that someone had to have dropped the ball somewhere. It is just unacceptable, and pretty much negates the purpose of having the DVD. This does not appear to be just a problem of a poor screener copy; the fans at Blur's official Web site seem to agree.

Extras:

There are two advertised DVD extras and one hidden. An hour-long concert from just after the band signed its first record deal ("Live at Kilburn") is the highlight, though even it has a fatal flaw; It sounds fine, unlike much of the feature, but is not split up by track at all. There are no chapters, just one hour-long block. The other concert is from 1990, at the band's very beginning, from the Princess Charlotte in Leicester. The review copy provided - along with being just a DVD-R burn and sans any sort of packaging, save a photocopied sleeve - has no audio for the Leicester gig.

There is a fun hidden extra - from the main menu, hit the right directional button to select the star and watch the band's first (terrible!) U.S. music video.

Final Thoughts:

A music DVD with bad audio - what's the point? For hardcore Blur fans, this is still a mandatory purchase. For anyone else, it's an easy pass.
