Exellent performance, This is a collection DVD
This DVD is a must have. The quality of the video is barely acceptable, the soundtrack is good. The music selection is excellent although I missed "El Temblor". <

Excelente concierto, mas no un excelente DVD! (Excellent Concert, but not an excellent DVD)
Soda Stereo was with no doubt the greatest rock band in Latin America from the mid eighties to the mid nineties. From album to album they evolved enriching their musical language and therefore innovating the forms of "rock en español", without recurring to fusion of rock with latin folklore, which in itself is not a bad thing, it can be interesting, but Soda Stereo proved that a Latin Rock Band could make the best of rock music in Spanish, and could be favorably compared to their anglosaxon peers. For those of us who lamented their breakup, and are haunted by nostalgia, this DVD of their final concert in Buenos Aires functions as a partial cure, there we have Soda Stereo, with their powerful presence, portrayed in peak form musically..., but unfortunetly, the DVD production does not make justice to their musical mastery. A more cinematic hand was missing there! For all of us who love the music of Soda Stereo that failure will not matter much in the end, but surely it will for those who are not acquainted with their music and have their first approach to Soda throug this DVD. Because it is not simply that at times music and image do not match, it is simply that there is not a good job at the camera level. Visually the concert ends up turning tedious, and that is sad, because the cinematic language is not put to good use here. Song after song the time passes, and the camera either moves lousily or does not move at all; on the other hand, there was no use of video segments in some of the songs for which that might have worked, the viewer does not have interesting views of the public out there, and details that could have been given prominence in the stage are simply missed, for example, the performance of the musicians that accompanied the band. They just were shown as part of the backdrop. Compare this DVD with the excellent one that presents Brazilian singer songwriter Caetono Veloso, "Hombre de Fina Estampa", and you will understand what I mean. It is a shame that even the band leader, Cerati, or the bassist, Bosio, who had both such an impressive performance in the stage were not given a right treatment by the camera. <
>Anyway, if you love Soda Stereo, or even if you want to have an approach as a possible fan of the band, buy the dvd, but concentrate mostly in the music, because in spite of my reservations, there is a bit of value added to the DVD over the two audio cds of the final concert that are well known to the fans.
