"Alive At Red Rocks," Incubus' third DVD release is quite a gem for any Incubus fan to have. The entire 19 song (almost 2 hours) set the band peformed on July 26, 2004 at the legendary Red Rocks amphitheater is presented on this set, along with a bonus audio CD of extra material. You really can't go wrong with this package. Incubus put out one of the most energetic performances on this disc, with some of the best songs from all four of their major label full-length releases (mostly favoring material from "Make Yourself" and "A Crow Left Of The Murder"). Sure, material from the "Fungus Amongus/Enjoy Incubus" era is missed and the band does pass over a few obvious hits (i.e. "New Skin" and "Warning"), but the quality of the show and the performance by the band more than makes up for these minor flaws. As always, as heard in just about every live recording of Incubus, the band spices up some of their more familiar tunes with some jam sessions or all together alternate compositions. Most noticeably in this set is their alteration of "Drive" which has a completely different musical landscape than the original. The sprawling "Sick Sad Little World" is extended into an eleven minute piece (which is great, seeing as it is my personal favorite from "ACLOTM") and fan favorites like "A Certain Shade Of Green" and "The Warmth" make worthy appearances. The concert is thoroughly entertaining and the crowd compliments the band's energy very well. Also included on the DVD is about thirteen minutes of behind-the-scenes footage, mostly covering the pre-show routine. The CD portion contains five bonus tracks, two of which are live songs ("Circles" and "Are You In?") that, oddly enough, are not from this particular concert. "Monuments & Melodies" is a great song, a leftover from their latest album (also on the "Megalomaniac" single), while two new songs, "Pantomime" and "Follow" are included. "Pantomime" is a straight-forward song that is also performed during the concert (with frontman Brandon Boyd on guitar) and "Follow" is one of the songs recorded for the "Halo 2" videogame. Altogether, an excellent package for any Incubus fan. Like I said before, you can't go wrong with this. Incubus put on a great show and the extra disc just makes it that much better. Even if you haven't been to one of their shows (I haven't), you can still appreciate this. To those who were at this show, I envy you.

Granted I have a slightly bias opinion because I am a HUGE Incubus fan. However more importantly, if you are an Incubus fan to any degree you MUST purchase this DVD. I have seen them in concert 5 times including an insane performance in Philadelphia and an very unique appearance at the Bridge School Benefit Concert. This performance at Red Rocks gave me more respect for them as artists than I have ever had (and they were infalable to me already!) Drawing on their own feeling of awe at the sight of a sea of 9000 people in such an historic venue, each member seemed to push their performance to a new level. Bassist Ben Kenney, typically withdrawn in his own world on the left side, instead spent most of the concert staring at the crowd like it was Christmas at Rockafeller Center. Brandon, who is already very vocal with the audience, offered continuous insights into how overwhelmed he was to be playing there. Bottom line, this was the best performance I've ever seen them give, the best crowd I've heard (that include bootlegs and video of other concerts), and Red Rocks is the best outdoor venue in the United States.

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 !!!!!!!!

...the fact that out of 19 reviews 17 are 5star says alot about this DVD. Im not going to go off on one about this as i dont have time to (i know i'd get carried away as theres so much to comment on this) but basically i thought the Morning View Sessions were a good demonstration of Incubus live, Volume 2 is great, especially the live Cali-accoustic tracks (awesome) but this concert is unbelievable, so so good! Highlights for me are for a start seeing alot of the Crow Left of the Murder tracks live as the album is brilliant & has grown on me so much over time, but also just seeing how well Incubus can improvise & adapt their songs to sound even better live. Theres a great version of "Drive" here, but the lengthened versions of "Sick, Sad Lille world" & "A certain shade of Green" are amazing. The guitar work on "S,S L W", "Priceless" & "Pistola" is brilliant. Other greatly performed trackes include "Wish you were here" (such an anthem nowadays), "Here in my room", "Made for TV movie" (a new favourite of mine) & "Talk shows on mute". also very cool to see "Pantomine" live, its also on the bonus CD, along with a couple live tracks & a couple of non-album tracks.

im hoping to get to the Leeds festival this summer (if i can blag a ticket somehow) so very much looking forward to seeing them even if it is only for an hour! Theyre the best band in the world in my opinion.

Basically buy this if you love incubus, its the best DVD you can get of them....

After I wrote this review, I read other's reviews and thought some were much better than mine, much more expressive. specially Mr. censored's review, you sould read it.It's posted December 2004.

The important thing is that you read 3 or 4 reviews and see that nobody is kidding you. This concert is fantastic.

Ok now my unedited review:

This is the greatest incubus DVD I've seen, and the greatest Incubus thing that I have ever experienced.

I've known Incubus for some time now and I can tell you its a great concert, you can really tell how professional the band members are.

Throughout the concert you will see extended versions of songs, solos by Mike Einziger and José Pasillas.

You will experience Incubus as it is, full of energy and power.

you can tell these guys are good 'cause the live versions are identical to the recorded versions, but they have that special "live" feel. Or should I say "alive"?

This is a must for anyone who admires or likes Incubus.
