First off, MCR are number 5 on my favorite bands list, I have every album by them. The Black Parade is #4 on my top 10 albums of all time. I saw them on this tour (The Black Parade tour) and they were AWESOME, one of the best shows I've ever seen.When I heard this was going to be released, I thought it was going to be just another attempt to milk the cow but I was WRONG- I bought it and watched it and it's AMAZING. It proves that these guys are one of the best live shows around. The CD is the Mexico City show, and the DVD has the same show, alongside the Hoboken show. Let me review them:CD: 10/10. They chose the best show of the 2 for the CD, lo and behold the Mexico City show. These guys put on an amazing and energy-filled performance. Gerard's live vocals are amazing, the band are tight as ever and amazing. The sound quality is crystal clear and a pleasure to listen to. Listen to it on a huge stereo, and you'll be under the impression that you're at the concert!DVD: MEXICO CITY: 10/10: Even better than the CD! This time it's much move interesting, and a beauty to look at. Amazing pyro cues, great light show, and Gerard homages Bruce Dickinson a bit! The only thing I don't like is how they didn't include the encore songs, but the Hoboken show has them in a different setlist. The sound and image are crystal clear and candy for the ears and eyes.HOBOKEN: 8/10: Sadly not as good. Still great though! The band put on a tight performance and Gerard is in a good mood. What brings down this DVD a bit is that the setlist is inferior in comparison, and Gerard sounds a bit off on a couple songs, but still gives a great performance IMO.So overall, this CD/DVD package is WORTH the money for sure, especially if you're a fan. I'm sure glad I bought it. Don't miss out on the chance to own this beauty while you can, you won't regret it!
