This was a real surprise for me. Some of the songs by Jack Black and his band member were great! The videos and short scenes were pretty entertaining but watch your audience since there was lots of crude humor not for everyone. The Jack Black Wonderboy music video was great! A must for Jack Black fans!

I am a big fan of tenacious D and very much loved this DVD. It includes everything that lead up to their movie (the pick of destiny). The two disk set is a great combo. Absurd humor, crude jokes, entertaining lyrics and I found out there is a part 2, I must get it.

ONE OF THE BEST MUSIC DVD SETS

"EVERYONE has to buy this. This is one of the best band DVD sets out there. Of course it's a 2 DVD set but get it while you can because after a while there going to take away the second disc.

Of course Tenacious D is one of the best acoustic/rock groups around today. You got Jack Black with lead vocals and guitar, and Kyle Gass with lead acoustic guitar and vocals. I like how Jack Black always jokes around on stage and Kyle takes everything serious. This set is very good in all kinds of funny and gross ways. You're getting over 3 and a half hours of footage.

DISC 1

6 HBO EPISODES- These are extremely funny and the live parts of these episodes are awesome. They were taped from 1996-1999. You get to hear some songs from the cd (no drums or electric guitar on live parts) as well as some other songs that were great but never got put on their cd. All the live parts in these episodes are done in a small bar type place on Open Mic Night and no one in the audience really likes them. Below are the list of episodes and the length of each one. I listed the songs played in each episode as well.

The Episodes are:

-The Search For Inspirado- (10:32)-SONGS- Kielbasa,,,, History of Tenacious D,,,, Kyle Quit the Band
In this episode J.B. and K.G. have five days to write a new song, but get mad at each other and end up breaking up for a while.

-Angel in Disguise- (11:30)-SONGS- Double Team,,,, Karate,,,, Kyle Too a Bullet For Me
In this episode J.B. gets mad at K.G. for liking the same girl that he likes after J.B. gives K.G. a Friends for Ever medallion which ends up saving his life.

-Death of a Dream- (12:26)-SONGS- Cosmic Shame,,,, Sasquatch,,,, Kielbasa
In this episode J.B. and K.G. go through the five steps to admitting that they shouldn't have a dream of becoming a great band after they listen to Captain Ed talk about how he got no where being in a band. They end up finding Sasquatch and he tries to play the drums in their band.

-The Greatest Song in the World- (9:32)-SONGS- Greatest Song in the World (Tribute)
In this episode J.B. and K.G. get a new neighbor (a writer) in there apartment and they make him mad by making to much noise and he ends up calling the police and then J.B. tells the police officer the story of them in the desert and finding a demon which they play the greatest song in the world for.

-The Fan- (12:23)-SONGS- Explosivo,,,, Lee,,,, Special Things
This episode has a hilarious beginning in which J.B. gets mad at the audience for not giving back his clear special pick. They then meet Lee who is a fan of them and gives back K.G.'s pick. They begin to always be with Lee and end up making a song about him. The song Special Things is not very good in which they have Lee sing it.

-Road Gig- (14:05) -SONGS- Warning,,,, The Road,,,, Jesus Ranch
In this episode J.B. and K.G. go on a road gig, and while there driving there car brakes down. They end up finding a Jesus Ranch in which everyone is all religious and K.G. falls in love with a big potato that the people grow there.

That's all the HBO episodes on the first disc but that's not even half of all the stuff on the 2 discs. Next I'll list all 16 songs played in the live concert, which is an hour long and is performed at the Brixton Academy. The concert is one of the best live concerts I'v seen on DVD and features some cool solos and all of Tenacious D's songs from there cd except for City Hall and Lee. The length of each song is listed too.

1-(:45)-Program Start
2-(1:45)-Flash

"Warning: If you want [to be] blown out, buy this DVD!!This is THE must own for any Tenacious D fan. Everything is here...every episode from the HBO series, the videos, the making of the videos, an entire live concert and more! My wife had never seen the D before, but she likes Jack Black. She laughed like crazy during the episodes. Still can't get over how talented they are musically to go along with how funny they are. You will not be disappointed with this one."

Just adding to the pile, higher and higher, were having high

"I have nothing new to say about The D, Satan, Sassy, or any of the other important themes of this excellent music that hasn't already been said. However, to chime in with the sweet chimes of enlightenment and inspirado, I will say, yes, watch the T.V. episodes first so you "get it." Then later watch the concert. This is good stuff, great stuff and soon your mind will explode from The D too and the pieces of it will sparkle in the sun as they lie on the street reflecting the eternity of the universe. Lastly, if you're some frat guy who likes this just because it's now getting popular, oh well, you could probably be cool someday too, I still have hope for myself, so I can hope for you. Take care and please vote for my review so I can be a top 1000 reviewer, then I can be cool..."
