Editorial Review:

Description:
Chicago's own Alkaline Trio give a special hometown Halloween performance at the Metro, backed by the very people that know them best, the true fans. "Alk3" pulls out all the stops with their quick-tempo melodies, heartbreaking lyrics, and hellbound priest costumes, ensuring a Halloween show never to be forgotten. Not since a Misfits show have punk rock and Halloween gone so well together. Shot on multi-camera (5) digital video, "The Show Must Go Off" DVD series will set the benchmark for the guaranteed barrage of copycat live punk DVD's. Packed with extra footage, behind-the-scenes antics, interviews, not to mention our trademark hidden "easter eggs".

- Weak Production
The vocals for Matt were cut later and thus...NOT live. The production flaunts it too. They can't even edit around it. I love Alkaline Trio but this DVD is pretty much unwatchable. It's more fake music industry crap. If it's a live DVD let's hear what you sounded like. I am bummed out. Punk and Rock are supposed to be REAL and this DVD is far from it. I just saw them live and it was awesome...I hope that was real.

- ALKALINE TRIO SAVED MY LIFE!
being a survivor of four suicide attempts ALKALINE TRIO is something very special and dear to my heart.... I relate totally to the lyrics.. which is odd being that there are two key song writers and both of them sum up my life perfectly.. It's like we live in parrallel dimensions without even knowing it.. this shows up greatly in my own music.

the last suicide attempt I went through I woke up to the song TROUBLE BREATHING, already being a major fan I now have more reason to love them. ... Read More

- A must have for the hardcore Trio fan
This DVD is not the bvest sound quality, it doesnt have much on the way of extra's, and the camera angles leave something to be desired. So you ask, why would i rate it 4 stars? Because i am a huge, huge fan. This DVD is not for the casual listener, or for someone new to the band. It is more for those who want something else to add to their already overwhelming collection of all things Trio.

- Halloween
This is an item whose purchase I highly recommend for any fan. True, Matt's singing on that night wasn't the greatest because he was sick, but I think that rough, strained quality adds to the performance. Dan's songs are especially good, although I don't think Matt's backing vocals did very much to improve the songs. For someone who has not had the oppourtunity to see the Trio in concert very often, this is an excellent DVD to pop in between times.
The commentary is at some times funny ('Barnburner') ... Read More

- A Great Deal For Fans
I can't understand all of the reviews for this item that say the sound is poor. It isn't incredible DTS sound like the Cure's Trilogy DVD or anything, but it is still really good, especially for it being one of the very cheap "show must go off," DVDs. The song selection is good, the energy of the band is good, and the sound is good. Overall, this DVD is really a great deal for any fan of the band, particularly of their material from before they gained mainstream popularity.
