The Hives - Tussles in Brussels

No other band has given such intense performances since England's Townshend, Daltrey, Moon, and Entwistle formulated The Who. Most recently awarded the title of #1 best band in the WORLD to see live by Spin Magazine, The Hives do not disappoint with their smash DVD Tussels in Brussels. Although no filmed version of this band can do justice to their live act, Tussels in Brussels does make some excellent strides towards doing so. The videos are a stroke of genious, and the recording of A Little More for Little You features band frontman (recently placed in the top 50 frontmen of all time by Spin Magazine) Pelle Almqvist doing a more melodic, less "Howlin'" version of the track. The documentary section provides great insight into the band and what they have done to revitalize the scene of rock and roll. For die hard Hives fans, this section also may answer some long unsettled questions about a few of the mysteries surrounding The Hives. For those who have been unable to attend a live performance in the past or for those who just can't get enough of The Hives bringing a stage to life, and putting other groups to shame, this DVD is a must buy, must own, must tell everyone you know to own. Welcome to The United States of The Hives.

I really enjoy this DVD but anytime you put the DVD into a regular player it gives you a region error. This is because the DVD is from the EU. IT works in computers and more sophisticated DVD players. The Hives have great energy, and an amazing stage show. Definately worth getting for any fan.

No concert video can produce the same effect as a live performance and this is especially true of this video; the Hives live are simply put one of the best live bands going today. That said, however, this video is fun and a worthy addition to any music fans collection. For those who are unfamiliar with their music, shame on you; make things right and check them out.

If you like the Hives then you need to watch this performance.

Fast shipping, excellent condition - just as advertised! it was a joy!

HIVES HIVES HIVES!!!!Good show and comes with music videos. The documentary is kinda boring but the show sure isn't!!!

I'm pretty bummed, mainly because the region code is for everywhere but America. Now I have no way to watch it. I think it could have been a little more obvious that it had a different region code.

This is actually the 2nd Hives dvd, the first being an extra freebie in the "Your Favorite New Band" cd which I think is a better dvd of The Hives (contains 2 live sets as well as a lengthy tour documentary and videos). This "official" release is pretty lackluster in comparison, altho it does feature songs from Tyrannosaurus Hives which is cool. The sound quality is not consistent, with Nicholas Arson's guitar being barely audible and depending on what camera view is being shown, the sound level changes so you never get a consistent audio track. The live set is good, pretty much the set they played the last tour which is a very good one including their Dion & Belmonts cover. The Hives "movie" is interesting and well put together, even if the band never really appears in it. The TV appearances are good and probably my favorite part of this dvd. For a better produced Hives dvd, get the "Your New Favorite Band" cd and enjoy the free dvd that comes with it. This particular effort could have been done much better.

Saw The Hives on Jools Holland and they looked and sounded ace! Bought this DVD and what a gig that was! Wish I'd been there! I took the sound from it and put it onto disc - My Mrs plays it almost every day! Great fun if you like crazy bands like we do

To my shame only discovered this band from watching Jools Hootenanny 2012-13. Fantastic! Making rock music as it was always intended. Mad, energy sapping, and loud.

very good.

The Hives at their racous best

Also ich hab schon so einige Musik DVDs im Schrank stehn aber Trussles in Brussels schlägt schlichtweg alles....Obwohl man die Songs auswendig kennt, ist es immer wieder ein Riesenspaß diese DVD einzulegen....Ton & Bildqualität sind gut aber bei der Bühnenshow interessiert mich das ohnehin nicht...wer die Hives hört, erwartet schließlich auch kein audiophiles Erlebnis sondern eher kompromisslose-mitten-ins-Gesicht Nummern und genau das wird geboten :-)Pelle "Gesichtsdisco" Almquist und seine Mannen geben derart Gas, daß mehr als 60+ Minuten Livekonzert garnicht drin sein können... kompensiert wird das durch eine sehr sehr genial gemachte "Banddoku" im Monty Python Stil die zum Unterhaltsamsten an Bonusmaterial gehört, was ich je gesehen habe... Sämtliche Videoclips bis einschließlich der des Tyrannosaurus Hives Albums sowie einige Liveauftritte in Shows wie Top of the Pops (Was machen die Hives dort???) sind auch drauf... Was will man mehr?Sind JEDEN Cent wert und manche andere Bands sollten sich das mal ansehn und lernen wie eine gute Live DVD gemacht wird.Kaufbefehl!
