Opening with some spectacular aerial shots of Leeds’ Elland Road Stadium, this live DVD captures the homecoming show of Kaiser Chiefs’ latest tour. It’s certainly a big production, with a screaming audience of 40,000 fans and an impressive light show.
Myriad cameras capture all the action, zooming on cranes across the heads of the audience, as well as close-up photography of the band on stage.
From the opening bars of ‘Everything Is Average Nowadays’, singer Ricky Wilson and his band have the crowd in the palm of their hand.
The set list covers all the best tunes from their first two albums, Employment and Yours Truly, Angry Mob, but also includes a couple of killer tracks from their latest record Off With Their Heads (‘Never Miss A Beat’ and ‘Can’t Say What I Mean’).
The audience is littered with Leeds United football jerseys and flags – you can really feel the love. Especially when Kaiser Chiefs are joined on stage by Cribs vocalist Ryan Jarman for a powerful rendition of ‘Modern Way’.
As far as live DVDs go, this one’s a corker. If you’re a fan, grab a copy.
SPECIAL FEATURES
It’s a shame there’s no behind-the-scene’s footage, but there you do get a bonus concert – six tracks performed at the BBC’s Live At Electric Proms. A nice addition.
