    Like most festival shows, the Toronto Rocks concert, a SARS benefit held on July 30, 2003 before a teeming crowd of 490,000, is a pretty mixed bag. For one thing, the Guess Who, Rush, AC/DC, and the Rolling Stones--the headliners--are all well past their primes. They're still kicking, of course, and fans of each will relish their sets. But no headliner save Rush exudes the freshness and spark evident in the tantalizing snippets of the performances we don't see on this single-disc DVD: Canadian acts like Blue Rodeo, the Tea Party, and Sass Jordan (with a still-riveting Jeff Healey on guitar). The Stones command more than their fair share of screen time, and some would say they've earned it. Meanwhile, we're also served three helpings of Dan Aykroyd and Jim Belushi's ho-hum Have Love Will Travel revue. Who steals the show? The Isley Brothers, led by founding singer Ronald and axeman Ernie, who blaze through "Who's That Lady" and their classic "Shout" with a band of lock-tight musicians and dancers.

    The DVD includes the kind of full-size color booklet every concert disc should come with, a choice of Dolby Digital 5.1 surround and uncompressed PCM stereo sound (both great), and a dose of "bonus" backstage ballyhoo. A unique extra is the director's broadcast call of the camera shots for AC/DC's "Thunderstruck," revealing the frantic, real-time demands of a live shoot. --Michael Mikesell

    4 out of 5 stars Great show, with one obvious exception   December 28, 2007
    Vincent E. Daily (USA)
    This is among the best of recent concert DVDs. It is a great tribute to the "Commonwealth Nations" contribution to classic rock. The Guess Who segment is awesome, though Burton's voice seemed to lack its former power. The Stones and AC/DC parts are simply a celebration of the best rock music anywhere. Timberlake is a damn joke. If this is re-released, get this dink off the program.

    This has fast become one of my favourite concerts - and I really didn't expect it. I own so much music now I'm not in a big rush to buy more as I seldom get much chance to watch what I do own. I got interested mainly because of a couple of bands I thought I ought to like, but don't really: Rush and AC/DC. I already have plenty Stones. I enjoy festival DVDs because it's an opportunity to listen to a few songs by bands and decide whether or not to get more. And for some reason, I like the outdoor daylight festivals.

    In the end I bought this for the lamest of reasons - because of Justin Timberlake, whom I actually loathe. But I have two young daughters, and it's been a standing joke between us that when I call Timberfart a fag they respond by calling Mick Jagger a fag (compliments of his otherwise outstanding performance on Rock n Roll Circus, where he is undeniably camp).

    So it seemed too ironic to have our two fags singing a duet on one DVD and I had to get it. But if the reason for getting it was spurious, my enjoyment is not. Even JT isn't anywhere near as bad as I expected. Nonetheless, when I play this DVD I start with The Guess Who. I don't know who the Flaming Lips are and who persuaded their front man he could sing, but they are awful. They belong on Teletubbies. The Guess Who is another band I knew absolutely nothing about, other than American Woman, and sure enough they play a scorching version. I still have no idea about what The Guess Who is really about, because their second song reminds me of Crosby, Stills & Nash. Two completely different songs.

    Rush is another mystery. I've bought two Rush albums in the past and swapped them both. I KNOW this is a band I ought to like because if fits right in with my taste in music, but I've not got there yet. Still, I like their performance here.

    The revelation for me was AC/DC, whom I literally have never listened to before. I like Classic Rock but not Heavy Metal much, but the performance here was electric, and this is now a band I'm looking to explore further.

    The Stones performance is one of the better, but as I said I'm rather spoilt for choice when I want to watch them. Still, it was nice to contrast the high octane visual performance of later Stones compared to the more laid back performance they gave in their earlier years. Maybe it's just the bigger sized stages they perform on today. Ron Wood struck me as an unnecessary appendage to their performance, and trying too hard to be interesting.

    One major reason I like the Stones: living in South Africa (when I speak to Americans they usually ask "Where's that?" duh!) decent bands NEVER visit this country. In the past 15 years I can recall only two top flight bands: Rolling Stones and Jethro Tull. And usually the only reason they do so is to be able to say they've played on every continent. Being a predominantly black country, of course we get no end of rap artists. You guys who live in the US and UK don't know how lucky you are to live in a country when you can see the likes of the Allman Brothers 20 times or more.

    I didn't care for a few of the groups, or Justin Timberlakes style of music. However I loved watching AC/DC. I've never been a fan of theirs, but I bought the video to watch them again after originally checking the video out from the library. The Stones were great too.
    What I liked about the video made the purchase worth while.

    I love it I was at this show and this is a great DVD the only thing I dont like is that there is only 3 AC\DC songs on the DVD and at the show AC\DC played about 13 songs and AC\DC put on a better show than the stones but this is still a great DVD
