Kinda flat.
Not a huge fan, but I have all of MCR's major releases, and was looking forward to a live DVD. Unfortunately, for the main event (the Mexico City concert), it's a disappointment. Gerald's voice is very weak, especially early, and as the better songs (imho) are all on the first half of the set, it gives a very flat feel. The band is fine, and the concert was clearly high-budget, but the vocals you get on the studio album seem to come through in small bits and then it's whisper-like, almost talking as much as singing. Too bad.

The other DVD track with the off-message show that was just a band was a lot less theatrical and less interesting to watch, but much more appealing to listen to. Somewhere in the middle could be a great show (or, I guess a terrible one); it's a shame that they didn't pick a better performance to film for the main event.

CD JUST OKAY, DVD EXCELLENT!!!!!
This CD is okay as it is just the compilation of already released songs played live in mexico. I was a little disapointed cause I though it was a NEW cd and i couldn't wait to buy. i already have all of these songs!!! any way it's worth the price cause of the AWESOME DVD!!! it has 2 hrs or so of live footage at the mexico and new jersey show. the jersey show is excellent and feels like your there, w/ the band & GERARD!!!! so, yeah totally recomend. (if you can find cheaper than 20.00 or the DVD alone i would recomend that more.)

Black Parade Live
My Chemical Romance, a band from New Jersey releases a CD/DVD combo which covers their last tour for their Black Parade Album. The DVD contains some great live footage from Mexico and also footage from a concert they had last year at Maxwell's in Hoboken, NJ. The CD is all live songs also from the tour, but if your a fan, the video makes buying this a must. Awesome!

Amazing Concert!
I'm brazilian and I went to MCR concert in Sao Paulo earlier this year, and they are AMAZING! The Mexican concert captures all of MCR glory!

Disappointing.
Unfortunately this is a groaning disappointment. Fairly poor execution instrumentally and Gerard can barely keep his breath let alone emulate the recorded versions of the songs. Formulaic set lists and uninspired arrangements contribute to what is frankly, an average affair.

An overly produced record often results in a disappointing live show, not always, but this time is just does.

I'm a MCR fan, no doubt, but I have to be honest, this is mediocre at best. Why? I turned it off after three songs and thought 'I can come back to this later'.
