    Deja Vrooom has been greatly worthwhile for me. The menu setup is awful, but it's a fine performance. I also really like the multi-angle option where you can focus on one or two players (and hear them louder) on some songs. Some folks don't care for the video quality (a bit rough with something of a lighting-halo effect) but I don't mind. It was made after they'd been playing a year and a half, so the band had well gelled by that point.

    Haven't heard the other one from Argentina. It's from the group's earliest days when they were still breaking everything in (before Thrak was recorded). I believe those are the only two videos out there.

    Whoever filmed the Live in Argentina release should be fired...someone clearly, and perhaps justifiably(?), never knew what solo was coming from who or where.

    It was cool to compare this footage to Deja Vroom though, i think this was one of the first shows of the 90s era...my personal wish is that they had filmed The ProjeKcts.

    That's an Argentinian in his native Argentine costume. What are you, some kind of anti-Argentinianite?
    You'd think that set would have featured more selections from the album that had the Argentine flag on the cover.

    What's wrong with the Smoking Frog cover?

    Was watching Deja Vroom last night - it's very good, but yeah, the menus blow.

    Though I'd viewed the DV DVD before, I ended up buying the Argentina DVD, which I ended up regretting

    What was a bit upsetting with DV (if memory serves, because I borrowed it from my library system only for two days) was the single disc DVD engraved on each (both) sides, and I didn't end up figuring which was side A...
    my music collection increased tenfolds when I switched from drug-addicts to complete nutcases.

    Deja Vrooom is the better one. Steer clear from the "Live in Japan" one since it's an illegit release.
    I do like Live in Argentine though, it's got a nicely fucked up version of Discipline:

    She was gold alright, but then so is rust.

    Yeah, that was before the advent of double-layer DVDs. They were labeled A and B, but you had to peer at the tiny print etched around the center. I believe the newer pressing puts it all on one side.

    Yep, that's a pirated version of the same material. The releases on VHS (as Live in Japan), DVD (as Deja Vrooom) and as CD/download are official from DGM, this Woodstock thing was not. Though with all the versions I can see how it's not always easy to keep straight.
