Less than hoped for ...

One thing first: T + S has developed in the last 2 years to my favorite band, so I find it hard to forgive already badly "only" 3 stars.
Because after this CD / DVD (made at least since recordings in India in Nov 2010) for ages waiting to be read, I have had it after one year production time perhaps too high expectations.

Yet to content:
Concert
The live CD and the accompanying concert on DVD (70 minutes) on a small scale is excellent from the audio and sound quality. The camera work is the occasion unexcited, but matches the rather quieter atmosphere.
Most of the songs - including some very old and was rarely live as Divided or Not with you - are presented very reduced. That may delighted those who know only the album versions, for some inveterate tere fans represents the in most cases, nothing new is there on the net are countless recordings of concerts, including appearances in record stores, where one has heard the versions of something like this.
Still a good song choice and fine performance!
However, one has probably to cut sat a beginner, because especially the interspersed between songs prompts sometimes seem anything having to do with the previous or subsequent piece, and who has T + S views live is just the announcements (" banter ") estimate. Sorry, but there's better on YouTube, if one disregards the image quality. Especially inclined: After "Divided" Tegan talks about her mother and rules at home, the final sentence "The use of motherf * is not allowed" merges seamlessly into "Call it off" about ... Um, very appropriate.
When presented on the Roof "Light" then audio and video match unfortunately usually not together, what looks very strange.
In this respect: CD 5/5 people for the T + S barely know, 4/5 for people who already know much.
DVD 3/5 because there is not much spectacular to see and disturb the seemingly arbitrary cuts between songs.

Movies
As a bonus, there's two films.
"States" is said to the early days of the band represent. Well, above all this is done by the girls comments that sound like recorded on's phone. In about 30 minutes, but run mainly live recordings of songs (about 5), which then partially confusing imagery - which permanently changes the outfit live performances? Be highlighted -. Nothing new so if you know even a little about T + S. Repetition factor for me: Here 0th
The second documentary "India" was created on the first India- "Tour" (2 performances ...) and shows in around 25 minutes about India (which is just the way expected from a trip to India), some live recordings and acoustic versions prior nice Background and comments from friends and companions who traveled to India and T + s in general. Repetition factor for me: Probably 0
In this respect: 1/5 for me, maybe 3/5 of the people T + S do not know so well.

Overall I give it 3/5 Therefore, the CD is currently running and is really good but the DVD will probably disappear for a while in my closet, which have terms of this medium, the girls more pent-up demand. It also lacks any extras, except the 3 films / concert not included.
Well, but now you can indeed it ever the more forward to's next album, because then there is probably more the core competency of the band :-)
