Think what you will of the Dave Matthews Band but they certainly know how to keep their fans satisfied. Just eight months after the release of the lavish Central Park Concert package comes another generous helping of live material, this time in a limited edition three-disc set compiled at the band's 2002 concerts at Washington State's scenic Gorge, one of its favorite venues. With more than three-hours of music and video, recorded in 5.1 audio and shot with over 20 high-definition video cameras, even fans that missed the shows will feel the mosquitoes buzzing around their ears. And it's easy to see why Seattle resident Dave Matthews and his cohorts feel at home here--the natural backdrop provides the perfect setting for their gently inspiring music. "I feel like I'm making a racket in a place that should be quiet," the frontman says at one point in the documentary, which may suggest why this is a more reverential, detail-oriented performance than its Manhattan predecessor, particularly in songs like the acoustic "Gravedigger" and the leisurely 15-minute-plus version of "Lie In Our Graves." --Aidin Vaziri

The DVD is thrilling July 28, 2008
Funky Chicken (Canader)
Just want to provide some balance to all the reviews which focus on the frequency of the jump-cuts in the DVD as a negative.
It's true the cuts are very frequent, and if you try to sit through this wishing the edit was more conventional you will certainly get frustrated.
If you don't think about it, however, but just sit back and enjoy the show (having your TV hooked up to a decent sound system is of course mandatory), you might just find this one of the most thrilling concert DVDs you've ever seen.
A great oil painter can capture the feeling of an ocean without actually using water, or night without turning the lights off. Here the videographers have captured the feeling of being at a show without simply filming what you see from the 5th or 15th or 50th row. In fact they capture the spirit of what is happening at a show in every moment by showing the viewer countless perspectives on the action, layered over one another so smoothly that after a while (for this viewer at least) you don't even notice how quickly it's changing.
It's a unique viewing experience. Savor it.

I am a huge DMB fan and I live at the gorge. Need I say more? Beautiful areial footage of the gorge as well as the show itself. Awesome documentary and show all in one. Looks like the boys also had fun on their helicopter ride over the gorge. No, this is not a whole show but still well worth the money if not only for the view. The sound mixing was perfect. Every voice, every instrument was perfect.
They're ready to entertain and enlighten at the scenic Gorge December 2, 2006

The sound and style of the Dave Matthews Band gets better with every concert, every studio release, every live performance, and they possess the uncanny ability to sound different every time they play, but always adding more depth to their musicanship without even trying. If any fan or even mere listener has never seen or listened to the band live, this CD/DVD set would be a great invitation to experience the energy this band puts forth to the stage. The two CD portion contains some of the best classics like "Rapunzel," "Song That Jane Likes," "Fool to Think," "Drive In, Drive Out," "Space Between," "Two Step," and "Lie in Our Graves," among many others. The DVD portion only illustrates the energy and talent this band brings to the stage. Performing at Washington's Gorge, one of the band's favorite venues, they bring many classics to life again such as "Dancing Nancies," "Seek Up," "Ants Marching," "Tripping Billies," and a terrific opener with "Grey Street." Whether you're listening to the CD or enjoying the DVD concert, you'll be engaged by how well these guys can bring many different sounds and varieties of music together. And if you're already familiar with the DMB as a live act, you'll only see and hear how each version of a classic they perform somehow sounds different and deeper than the last. Quite simply, this release demonstrates the magic that is the Dave Matthews Band.

I'm a huge DMB fan and I have every released live CD along with several bootlegs. Now I have this 6 CD set of "The Gorge" too and it's disappointing compared to other live releases.
When I heard "Satellite" hoping it to be a great performance (the only really good performance I know of "Satellite" is actually the one from the "Lost Acoustics", Dave with just Tim Reynolds) I was pretty shocked when I heard Dave trying to sing those high notes. As if that's not bad enough his voice sucks on a lot of other songs too, not to mention the overall bad quality of the recordings!
This is definetly not something for starters of DMB... I'd say go get the "Central Park Concert", "Live At Red Rocks", "Live At Luther College" or the "Complete Weekend On The Rocks 8 CD set" to start with, "The Gorge" should be ordered the last one and only if you're a hardcore fan!
