Incubus - Alive at Red Rocks [Blu-ray] by Sony

I probably don't have much to say in addition to the reviews already posted on this DVD, but definitely wanted to give it my props. Incubus is an amazing band, Brandon's vocals are practically flawless (I've seen them live three times), and their shows are fantastic. I've done a few critiques with high stars and just a very small amount of gripes here and there... but I really can't complain about this DVD at all. The footage and compilation is unbelievable... It is so clear and easy to see... I can barely believe it was a real show.Incubus has had DVDs in the past, all of which are great and I personally own, and some had live performances on them... this DVD definitely has to be the best as far as quality of performance footage. I'm watching it as we speak and I can not believe the definition.I have watched the whole DVD and I am DEFINITELY happy to own this DVD and highly recommend it.

[[ASIN:B0006709MG Incubus - Alive At Red Rocks - (DVD/CD combo in DVD digipak)]I love this Incubus video and cd. Incubus is a great concert band and I hope to see them in concert this year. This dvd highlights just how beautiful Brandons voice is and how great the band performs together. Mike's guitar playing in amazing and watching Jose pound those drums was awesome. DJ Kilmore scratching is amazing and Ben's bass playing is enjoyable to watch as it is to listen to. The lighting for this show was perfect. I highly recommend this dvd to anyone especially anyone who's never seen Incubus in concert.

Forget the days when Incubus simulated the sounds of Rage Against The Machine, Korn or the Red Hot Chili Peppers in their post-grunge days. Incubus is moving forward with their own brand of originality, making "Alive at Red Rocks" a must see."Fungus Amongus" (1995) brought the world a funkier version of Rage Against The Machine. 1997's "S.C.I.E.N.C.E." was a huge step forward. Although they jumped into the whole rap-metal mess with Limp Bizkit and Korn, the record was much more endearing, mainly due to the fact that the band's hip-hop influence came from the DJ as opposed to Brandon Boyd (singer). "Make Yourself" (1999) showed Incubus really settling into their sound, reminiscent of the Red Hot Chili Peppers' funk-rock style, sounding much more comfortable than their past efforts. It's also been their most successful mainstream hit to date. The lessons from "Make Yourself" definitely apply to their follow-up 2001 release of "Morning View", where they ditch the nu-metal/rap-metal sound and focus on expanding the sounds of "Make Yourself". "A Crow Left of the Murder" marks their most significant and welcomed change in years. You don't get the sense that Incubus sounds like other bands on this record, it simply sounds like Incubus; fresh, original and mind-blowing. If you are like myself, welcoming change in an artistically growing band, and not whining about how they should return to the rap/metal days of "S.C.I.E.N.C.E.", you are just gonna love this DVD!Everyone in the band pulls their weight flawlessly in this concert. Every member gets their jaw dropping moments to shine in the show. Brandon Boyd has never sounded better, hitting those highs, lows and everything in between cleaner and clearer than ever. Ben Kenney (former Roots bassist) shows why he is definitely the man for the job, turning out gnarly bass solos, and a sweet drum solo in the percussion jaunt featured on "Vitamin". José Pasillas shocked the hell out of me with his killer drum solo also featured on "Vitamin". He is a much more talented drummer than I first thought. I don't even know where to start with the guitarist Mike Einziger. I've seen two other Incubus shows on DVD, and Mike baffled me this time. He has always been a fantastic guitarist, but you will never realize how good he actually is until you hear him belt out the solos on songs like "Priceless" and "Sick, Sad Little World". I was in awe of the speed, timing and precision he displayed. Since Incubus has a "jam band" side to them, those solos get stretched out like mad, making it even more enjoyable than the album versions. One of the main reasons I bought this DVD was to see how well Mike would be able to pull off the solo on "Sick, Sad Little World"; you will NOT be disappointed.This is definitely Incubus' quintessential live performance. No die hard Incubus fan would be missing this DVD is their discography.

I saw Incubus live on tour this year and so when I heard this DVD had been released of the same tour , I couldn't wait to see it !! It's absolutely amazing, the performance of the band is outstanding - Incubus are always so spot on live - you won't be disappointed if you purchase this!!Set against the beautiful Red Rocks in Denver , there is such a vibe and buzzin' atmosphere to this concert, the crowd is brilliant, singing very loudly and enjoying themselves to the max. Brandon is vocally suberb, he speaks to the crowd about how awesome it is for them to be there and just looks completely in awe the entire time, he is drinking red wine and totally loving every moment and it shows in his performance which is completely heart felt !!The band do a full length set , including tracks from all four major albums , so fans will not be disappointed as there is plenty of variety. They also throw in some improvisations in the middle of tracks such as "Stellar" and "Vitamin". New unreleased tracks also such as "Pantomime" featuring Brandon playing guitar!!Other highlights include , a drum session between Jose , Ben and Brandon on the Djembe , also an amazing guitar solo on "Sick Sad Little World" from Mike, plus a DJ stratch solo from Chris.Additional features are backstage footage , with the band generally mucking around ie . lots of usual craziness from Jose and kilmore! Plus a Bonus CD , which features new tracks "Pantomime ", "Follow", "Moments and Melodies" and live tracks of "Are You In?" and "Circles".You've just got to buy this ! It proves Incubus are just the best band ever !!!!!!!!

I only like some of their stuff !.

Ich habe mir die DVD von einiger Zeit schon gekauft und habe mir vorher schon viele positive Rezensionen durchgelesen können. Diese kann ich hundertprozentig bestätigen, weil bei diesem Konzert ein absolut geiles Live-Feeling aufkommt, sodass ich behaupten kann, dass diese DVD für jeden Incubus-Fan ein Muss und für jeden der Lust auf ein Konzert der Extraklasse hat auf alle Fälle zu empfehlen ist.Die Playlist ist einfach nur perfekt und die Extras, bei denen man die Jungs z.B. Backstage erleben kann, sind richtig geil.Man kann beruhigt sagen, dass es eine der besten Live-DVD's von Incubus ist, vielleicht sogar die Beste.Also, wer sie noch nicht hat, der verpasst wirklich etwas atemberaubendes, von daher, kann man mit dem Kauf nichts falsch machen, besonders wenn man auf die Musik von Incubus abfährt.

...dieses Konzert von Incubus gehört sicherlich zum Besten, was ich bis jetzt so an Live-DVDs gesehen habe. Das Ambiente und die Stimmung ist einfach genial. Muss den Herren zur Auswahl dieser Umgebung für die DVD gratulieren. Die Songauswahl ist hervorragend. Es ist das wirkliche Best Of aus den letzten Jahren mit teilweise tollen neuen Arrangements (z.B. Drive). Wer also diese Band noch nicht kennt oder gerade neu für sich entdeckt hat, der sollte unbedingt zugreifen, diese DVD ist wirklich sensationell!!

Ma référence étant le "When Incubus Attacks volume 2" j'ai été assez surprise du changement, ou plutot de la sagesse du groupe maintenant, surtout au niveau des bonus qui n'ont rien de délirant, comparé à avant (le "reportage" sur les ados américains attendant le concert merci mais ça sert pas à grand chose..).Concernant le concert en lui-même, le cadre est magnifique, mais la scène trop grande effectivement, et étant donné que le groupe bouge moins qu'avant, ils se l'approprient pas vraiment.Les morceaux sont sympas, surtout les solos intermédiaires qui sont nombreux et donnent du rythme à tout ça. Sinon ça aurait été un poil ennuyeux.Pour finir, "Green" n'est pas un inédit mais provient de l'ENORME "A certain shade of green" de la période bénie de S.C.I.E.N.C.E.Ici ça rend pas mal, le solo de DJ Kilmore aussi.Bref je regrette un peu Incubus ancienne génération mais y'a quand même du bon à prendre dans ce DVD.

Excelent spectacle, Red Rock est une place idéal pour ce genre de spectacle. Le son est excellent et fera plaisir à leur fans
