Condition: Viewed twice. Disc 1 has a few small, light nicks along its outer edge, but other than that it's just dusty with a few light smudges from handling. Disc 2 has heavier wear with a few small scratches and quite a few little nicks, but all the special features play without interruption. Artwork, if you take it out of the case, is in VG condition with only light corner wear, but the front and back sleeves of the bulky double keepcase show heavy wear - scuffing, wrinkling, etc. - that makes the artwork appear to be less attractive than it is. Doesn't include inserts. This is the A&M Records release as pictured by Amazon; it isn't an import or bootleg. Photos available upon request. Ships within 1 business day with delivery confirmation, and U.S. buyers get a free upgrade to Priority Mail. If you're an international buyer interested in purchasing this item, please contact me so we can discuss shipping options.

"This is like one big orgasm!" says singer-frontman Danny Elfman toward the end of Oingo Boingo's final concert on Halloween night, 1995. That's an apt comparison, since this two-hour, 45-minute performance plays like an extended climax, with Elfman and his bandmates putting out enough energy to light a small city and turn their costumed devotees into a pulsing mass of mutual love. Elfman's like a supernova onstage, maintaining a miraculous pace through 32 songs, any one of which qualifies as definitive Boingo (though we're partial to "Insanity," "Dead Man's Party," and the Dr. Moreau-inspired "No Spill Blood"). In retrospect it's clear that Oingo Boingo wanted to cap 17 years of success with their finest concert, and this one arguably meets that goal. Thorough but inconspicuous camera coverage captures the whole show from start to finish, and the Dolby 2-channel stereo is crisp and clear. Watch it all at once--we guarantee you'll be euphorically exhausted. --Jeff Shannon

 Oingo Boingo review September 6, 2007

Fantastic DVD of Boingo's last concerts from LA. A must-have for every true Oingo Boingo fan. They rock out and the old songs sound better than ever as they cover an array of songs that we fans have enjoyed for years. They sound sharper than ever. Great DVD! Get it now!

This is THE last show Oingo Boingo (Boingo) performed - a perfect way to say goodbye from the band to their fans.
Whether or not you are a die-hard fan of the music, this is a critical must have. If you love modern rock music (1980 - ) then there is NO reason in the world why you shouldn't own this.
INCREDIBLE collection, better than any of the other best ofs . . . simply because there is no substitute for performing these songs live - they have an edge and a life of their own. I haven't stopped enjoying it and I've had it for a while now.
So good I own the VHS and the DVD March 30, 2007

I love and adore Oingo Boingo and was very happy to get this when it came out on VHS. I bought the DVD the very same day I bought my DVD player. I felt that the "movie" gave me a feeling of actually being there. The performance of the band was top-notch (I also have the CD). It's very sad that we don't have Oingo Boingo around anymore, but at least we have this DVD to keep forever.
MOOOOORE!! February 16, 2007

I read all 28 reviews here and I seem to be the only new Boingo fan. These guys are timeless and so is this video. I was absolutley mesmerized watching and wished it would have gone on forever...just like one giant orgasm. I've got 2 teens(13 and 15) who also loved this video. We now own every Boingo cd and listen to them all them time! We make copies for their friends and now they are hooked. Spread the word to this generation! Boingo is more relevant now than they have ever been. Thanks for all the reviews on this video. They are what got me to purchase this dvd.
Good Stuff! November 7, 2006
