Wonderful
This album is The Greatest!!! I love the Black Parade and saw the show in Florida and it was Great to see it again and again and again.


Outstanding Performance!!!
As great as Live in Texas was (Linkin' Park) and my previous favorite, The Who Live at Royal Albert Hall, this one out performs them all!

First, a slight technical quibble. I have a new favorite concert video. The case is CD sized, not DVD sized, so shelving is more difficult. Second, why oh why do they insist on still producing DVDs that default to the 2. 0 audio track rather than the 5. 1? There is simply no reason to do this! If you have a 5. 1 receiver, you'll get 5. 1 and if you have a 2. 0 receiver, you'll get 2. 0 even if it is set for 5. 1, so why add the unnecessary step of having to switch the audio format each time you play the DVD.

There, that's out of the way. Now, the good stuff. No one gives a live show like My Chemical Romance, no one! Add to that a cinematographer who understands that we pay to see the band, not the audience, and you get a great view of a great performance. Now, the editing is fast and choppy when the music is fast and choppy. It just adds to the great effect. Finally, even though I don't pay to see the audience, the audience in Mexico City is the best audience ever! Most audiences sound like a crowd of drunks, but these folks can carry a tune. More than that, they actually sing backup! Listen during "Dead" when Gerard Way gets the audience started on the background vocals, then he takes off on the lead and the audience stays on the backup! Awesome job Mexico City!

I can just watch this one over and over again. The NJ show is a throw-in and I have watched it once. It is a nice extra, but the main show is what I loved!.


Kinda flat.
Unfortunately, for the main event (the Mexico City concert), it's a disappointment. Not a huge fan, but I have all of MCR's major releases, and was looking forward to a live DVD. 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!!!!!
I was a little disapointed cause I though it was a NEW cd and i couldn't wait to buy. This CD is okay as it is just the compilation of already released songs played live in mexico. 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
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. My Chemical Romance, a band from New Jersey releases a CD/DVD combo which covers their last tour for their Black Parade Album. The CD is all live songs also from the tour, but if your a fan, the video makes buying this a must. Awesome!.
