The supposed editing issues didn't bother me at all, the only aspect of this otherwise excellent DVD that REALLY annoys me is the fact that about half-way through, the visuals start to drag behind the sound. (Has anyone else noticed this?)
One of the best things about DMB I beleive, is Carter Beauford. I play the drums also and totally respect that mans playing; it's incredible, so I was watching him closely to figure out how the heck he gets his sounds but as I have said, half way through, he was hitting drums but the sound wasn't in time with the visuals. Now most people are probably thinking "what? who cares?, the editing is terrible etc etc". Any drummer out there who has watched Carter play in this DVD would be dissapointed as well, I am sure.
Now, I am no producer but one would think that getting the sound and the pictures of a live rock show to match up would be high on the priority list. Obviously not in this case....
I end up just listening to the 2nd half of the show. I felt that all the songs rocked, especially the songs off "Everyday". The only dissapointment was "Ants Marching" which started off well then it seemed as if everyone got a bit tired and it sort of fell over.
I am surprised that DMB gave this DVD the "green light" in-so-far-as production values.

Any DMB will realize that the concert is the typical incredible blood flowing sound combination of violins, flutes with a jazz back tone. Yes the panning in and out and split screen shots are annoying but it is a great DVD. Most DMD "live" music is better than studio recorded, you get the real feel for the music and this is evident at Folsom Field. Big Eyed Fish and Bartender are incredible! I have never seen Dave whale like he does in Bartender, the combination of hardcare violin and winds is awe-inspiring! Great music and classic DMB lyrics make this a great buy!

This video is not great for a couple of reasons. First of all the material played is some of DMB's worst in my opinion, with the exception of JTR, Warehouse, Watchtower, Stay, Ants, and Two Step. Second of all the video is far to processed. Filmed by over 25 cameras, it is far over done, and the flashing images and split screens achieve the opposite of their goal, by driving my attention away from the performance, and making me dizzy enough to want to stop watching. Neither the CD nor the DVD are worth getting...I wish I had known that before I bought both...alas.

The video editing makes the DVD unwatchable. The video cuts have no relationship to the music. It just jumps from shot to shot - no matter if there's a solo or Dave is singing - it justs keep channel surfing the whole time.

I almost didn't buy this DVD because of the negative reviews here. Bad editing? Bad sound quality? Bad video quality? I think the editing is more than OK and the sound and video quality is just as crisp as one would like. But what's more important - this DVD has the best set-list of all DMB DVDs (but still I miss songs like The Dreaming Tree, Drive in, Drive out and Lie in our Grave.)
