Summary: Oingo Boingo review
Comment: 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!
Customer Rating:
Summary: A MUST have!
Comment: 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.

Summary: So good I own the VHS and the DVD
Comment: 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.

Summary: MOOOOORE!!
Comment: 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.

"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
