Amazing

"I saw Jonathan Coulton in concert this spring in NYC, and this DVD/CD set truly captures his inventive, witty and beautiful songs, and his wonderfully loyal and creative fans' reactions and participation. He is a troubadour for our time. I can't get his songs out of my head, they haunt me, and I find myself quoting them--and friends, young and old can appreciate his music--there are songs for every taste, every level of sophistication. Buy it--you'll love it!"

Best - Concert - Ever , yes it was!!

"This was an amazing show to be at and I loved watching it again!

I was able to be at the filming for this concert in SF and there was no way they could pack it all into one DVD. All of the best moments are here and you can feel the excitement of the crowd. Long live Andy Bates!!!



The production of the DVD was great. I enjoyed the bonus material and seeing some behind the scenes things. It was fun to see all of the crowd shots, alternate versions of things and funny inside jokes. The audio was great and it totally different then what you can download from Jonathan Coulton.



If you were at the show I am sure you already pre-ordered the DVD and have watched it by now. If you were not at the show GET IT NOW!!! If you have ever seen or had JOCO this will exceed your expectations. It is a must buy for any fan.



For people who are not fans, never heard of JOCO, maybe heard a few songs - this is a great way to get introduced to it. After watching this you will be marking your calendar for the next show in your area.

Awesome collection for any Jonathan Coulton fan

"I discovered Jonathan Coulton's music about a year ago and have been hooked ever since. Although I previously downloaded many of his songs, I happily purchased this one as well. If you're just starting to get into his music this album is a great one to buy because it plays like a 'best of' and contains his best known songs. Although the concert versions are understandabily not as high of quality as those recorded in the study, I really enjoy the arrangements and find some of them (like Mr. Fancy Pants) to be even better than the original studio versions. It's also a great CD to buy if you saw him in concert and want to relive the experience.



That said, all of the songs here are available on other albums or on his website so if you're not interested in hearing another arrangement of the material it may not be worth the purchase. However, my experience is that the arrangements are just different and fresh enough that it's worth it for me, particularly as a big fan."
