This DVD completely rocks,and it marks their entry into mainstream music.It begins with 'Pinball map' and the concert completely comes to life with 'Behind space'.The first half of the DVD contains songs from their previous 2 albums.Many IF(In Flames)fans were disappointed with their last two albums,but i wasn't,i still like their old stuff more,but i have no problems with their new style.Last half this live master piece contains their old stuff and 'Colony' is very well done here.I still don't understand why old IF fans whine about their change is style.I am listening to them since Lunar Strain and they haven't disappointed me till now.Thank god they didn't go the 'Iron Maiden' way.'Iron Maiden' just churned out the same kind of albums year after year.And some idiots call 'Reroute to Remain'(2002) 'nu metal'.I agree their new style is a bit easy on ears but come on,you don't see that kinda stuff on radio or MTV do you?If you are an In Flames fan,you have to own this DVD,i am pretty sure you wont be disappointed.

The live footage on this DVD completely sums up why In Flames is the huge force they are in the world of metal today. It's beautifully captured and the sound is perfect, an exact mirror of their live performance. Being someone who has seen In Flames multiple times in concert, it's safe for me to say that if you're never going to have the chance to see them live, this is the next best thing.
In Flames plays many fan favorite tracks from their entire discography on this release ( Which they do while headlining shows as well ). Fans of old and new In Flames will be pleased to hear tunes from The Jester Race to Soundtrack To Your Escape flawlessly performed.
Another bonus is the material you receive on the second disk... It contains a little feature about the history and future of the band that contains interviews with each band member concerning their thoughts on In Flames thus far among other bonuses.
Don't hesitate to pick this one up, even if you think that In Flames' last good album was TJR... Which we all know is a lie. They're all good.
10/10

In Flames couldn't have done better for their first DVD. The DVD includes 2 full concerts (almost full in the case of the Hammersmith concert, because a couple of songs were left out), and a bunch of other live performances, sound checks and videos for some songs from Soundtrack To Your Escape. Be advised that if you don't like In Flames' new sound you won't like the set list that much. The main feature of the DVD (the Sticky Fingers concert) is split in 2 sets. In the first one they play all of the Soundtrack to your Escape album.The 2nd set consists of some classic songs (2 from each album, except Lunar Strain, they only play one from that one). The performances are amazing and everybody plays with a lot of energy. The 2.1 sound is very well done (I don't have a 5.1 system sadly).
The 2nd disc features the Jester TV segment. Its basically a small documentary of In Flames on their 2002-2004 tours. While there's lot of interviews, none of them feature Jesper Stromblad (founder and main composer). At least there's an interview with Bjorn (although he doesn't talk as much as Anders).
I gave this DVD a 10, cause its very well done, and it's a must have for In Flames fans. Their live shows have been one the band's strengths since the beginning, and here you can fully appreciate it.
