This show was filmed right here in my hometown of Houston just a little over 2 months ago. I very much wanted to go to this show, but I was trying to save money and talked myself out of it since I had already seen Creed 4 times (many years before). As my luck would have it, the show was forever captured and released here on DVD. Anyway, I was impressed at the quality of the DVD, it looks sharp, has tasteful editing, and a respectable amount of bonus features. Still, if Creed were to put out a live DVD, I wish they had chosen a performance from their Human Clay tour or Weathered tour. Creed was a well-oiled machine back then and consistantly delivered some of the best concerts I'd ever seen, and while they are still good (the band in particular), this isn't their best.
The musicianship of the band seems as good as ever. Mark Tremonti is an especially gifted guitar player who delivers some sweet yet modest solos. However, singer Scott Stapp seems a bit rough. In the past he always sounded as good as the albums, and on the band's newest album (Full Circle) he belted it out as well, but he sounds like he's struggling ever so slightly at this show. He seems to have trouble hitting some of the higher notes on just a couple occasions, and his deep voice often sounds exaggerated. Still, it's an overall solid performance and I enjoyed watching it, especially with the excellent song selection. My only complaint is that "Ode" and "Rain" didn't make the setlist, but it was worth it to hear a lot of old favorites that I wasn't expecting. While this may not be as good as a Creed show from 10 years ago, it's still a lot of fun and I'd recommend it.
