"that dvd is a gift for the fans of that great band. it contains mainly live performances, but all of these greatly performed!
The residents are known for taking care of a well gained reputation as entertainers. indeed, in every show they have given through the world, they have developed different concepts, all of them related to a very surrealistic way of percieve the reality. you can now see that, and I can tell you without fear that you will enjoy. just keep your mind open and sit."

A BIG FAN who really wanted more out of this

"It is always good to see more from the Guys With Eyes, the Rz, and there are memorable clips here from shows like Freak Show, Cube-E, Wormwood, Icky Flix, the 13th Anniversary Show (how wonderful to see Snakefinger at work--RIP, dude), even a little montage that delves a little into the Rz studio to see some of their collections, and obviously there are a few other DVDs released that have shows in their entirety, like Wormwood, but this DVD felt a little more like a sampler than an unfettered Rz release, with teasing glimpses of the cowboy music from Cube-E but none of the Elvis stuff, and mere intros to the Freak Show shows with little sense of the substance of the entire performance. Icky Flix seemed best represented here, and there are a lot of creative touches to the set up of this DVD, for example how the backgrounds to different menus change whenever you get back to them, but I would rather get my teeth into a full-blown DVD that lets me see a performance by the Residents all the way through. Since their music seems to work so much on development and even its own form of storyline, I would love to watch a perfrmance DVD do the same.
