Rating: 5
I knew it could'nt top the first complete master works.....but it still rules! The 'D' are hilarious and talented. A couple of pros. If you still have not checked them out, do so, NOW! OR ELSE.......hehehehehe

Tenacious D " ROCKS THE HOUSE!!".

Rating: 5
I was able to catch the actual live show in Denver the day "Pick of Destiny" was released. The actual concert was incredible. The energy the Jack and Kyle displayed on stage was intense. This DVD captures all the aspects of the live show. I have been waiting and hoping for the concert to be released on DVD and I got myself an early Christmas present. Jack does drop the "F" bomb quite often, but in the context of what's happening when the "D" perform it fits beautifully. Oh, by the way I'm 56 years old and a devoted "D" fan for life.

Musical Comedy for a new generation!!!.

Rating: 5
I should say...I'm a 50 plus year old...who loves the Sound of Music and Singin in The Rain.....this is NOT your dad's or grandads musical comedy...Jack Black drops F bombs as often as he plays the simple cowboy C chord on his Gibson acoustic but it is FUN!!

This 2 DVD set contains a fully produced concert which is loaded with fun songs..excellent musicianship and an actual story line! It is a first rate production. The second disc has a hilarious documentary (and if you purchase at BEST BUY an additional 30 minutes of out takes)...there are also some cool appearances on SNL, Conan etc..

Its a very worthwhile bit of fun and music....which I'm having a pretty hard time describing because I can't think of anybody crazy enough to have done anything like it. They are mistakenly linked to Spinal Tap but other than a rock and comedy element I don't see it....Tap was a parody all the way and this ....well it stands on its own. It isn't even garage band stuff for the most part...its more like the kind of music a couple of 16 year olds would do in their bedrooms and perhaps that has a certain appeal to me as a kid who played guitar with his buddy and wrote equally horrible songs in High School. Several hours of fun for not a lot of scratch..
I'm happy to give the D 5 stars!

Kyle Gass (and the other guy) kicks a**.

Rating: 5
The D returns in the follow-up to the under appreciated movie/album "The Pick of Destiny" which, even though it tanked at the theatres, totally rocked and should definately become a cult classic. This new set gives us an excellent live concert featuring a full band, incredible live versions of "Tribute", "Friendship", "Kickapoo" (Great vocals by Kyle, and oh, the other guy, too!). These guys have never sounded better! Rage Cage's incredible guitar work deserves a mention here. This guy is a master on the acoustic guitar! The bonus disc includes a behind the scenes documentary that fans of the band will enjoy. Near the end of this, we get some insight into the creative process and are treated as the D performs a new song which is, well, incedible! I hope this song makes it onto a new album soon! Overall, I would highly reccomend this DVD to fans of the band or fans of rock music in general. Long Live the D!
