...but this is still a great concert DVD. Mostly stuff from their most recent album "Yes, Virginia" and the live versions put the studio versions to shame. Definitely worth owning if you like the Dresden Dolls!

This is another great DVD of the Dolls LIVE. This one has a different feel from the Paradise DVD. Paradise had songs from their 1st album, only the Dolls played and it was a small Boston venue. London's Roundhouse is much larger, there are some guest performers and more visual theatricality on display. About half the songs are from the Yes, Virginia album with some old favs thrown in, along with a great cover of Mad World and a song from Cabaret. 19 songs in about 1 hour 45 mins. Plus there is a 26 minute documentary that mostly highlights the guest artists and The Brigade with some coverage of the Dolls themselves. It gives a taste of what the entire experience surrounding a D.D. concert is like. There's a lot going on besides the stage show. As with Paradise, this DVD is very professionally produced and sounds great in stereo or 5.1. If you've never seen the Dolls live and you've wondered how a drummer and a pianist could possibly put on a dynamic live rock show, get a hold of these DVDs and find out. They are awesome.
