One of greatest live acts in music history
Outside Mexico City's Sports Pavilion hundreds of young Rage fans rattle metal fences and throw rocks at the increasingly nervous police. Inside, a seething crowd of 5,000 lucky ticket holders cram into the cavernous pavilion chanting anti-government slogans and poking their middle fingers into the thick, sweaty air while waiting for Rage Against The Machine to storm the stage. br /One of greatest live acts in music history, Rage only affirms that fact with this show . Whatever club, theater, arena, of stadium they're in, the opening of each Rage Against The Machine show always feels like a grenade has gone off. But this night it was as if a truckful of bombs blew up as the band tore into the opening salvo of "Testify". Fans cascaded toward the stage like rippling waves stopping only to pogo up-and-down like jackhammers. br /Longtime supporters of various political causes in Mexico, Rage were perfoming for the very first time in Mexico City. The connection between the audience and the band is electric. From the early "all hell can't stop us now" chant in "Guerrilla Radio" to the blood-curdling screams in the finale of "Freedom", there is an urgency at this show that is unrivaled. This is love rock roll as it's meant to be heard: fierce, funky, uncompromising. This is Rage Against The Machine in their finest hour. br /Here someone wrote that it had a time delay on DVD. The rejected disk has possibly simply got. At me such problem was not. A fantastic sound. A concert excellent, buy and enjoy. Unforgettable night, 5/5!!!

Excellent
Another great performance DVD from Rage (Olymipic Auditorium is arguably more essential due to the fact it's their last show and features Renegades songs). The set list is great and the performance is, as usual, phenomenal. br /I would argue that the extras are somewhat lacking, but who cares when the show is so good. br /In reference to the sync problem, it is only noticable in the first song Testify. I couldnt see any sync problems at any other time in the DVD so dont let that put you off. br /However, if you only buy one Rage DVD, make it Olympic Auditorium for a better crowd atmosphere and brilliant extras. br /

ace
I thought the quality of this DVD was much better than the other self titled live DVD, as for the 'out of sync' problem....i never noticed or even saw it, so it wasnt really a problem. THE only problem i noticed was that they had cut Bullet in the Head out, i've seen the show on MTV2 when they played it, but its no-where to be seen on the DVD which is kind of a let down. Apart from that its got most of their greatest tracks, and they all sound fantastic. This is them at THEIR BEST, you wont be disappointed.

Near to Amazing.... but something lets it down....
Rage are one of my favourate bands of all, time, I have loved them right since I heard them for the first time. But this DVD doesn't do them justice... pThe music is amazing in the DVD. it's Rage's finest hour at performing live, but there is one huge problem...pThis problem isn't in the band but in the DVD, as mentioned in someone elses review there is a time lag...pYou hear the pounding and enthralling drumming of Brad Wilks but then you see his hands moving after they have been heard, The music is out of sync with the action, it is slightly ahead and very noticable. You see Zack de la Rocha's mouth moving after the words are heard and you see Tom Morello's hands moving after the guitar is heard.pAs I said before, this is Rage in their finest hour musical wise but the out of sync in the video makes it a disapointment to watch ! BEWARE !!
