This is one of the best live DVDs I've watched. First of all, until I go back to Laibach I forget how much I really love them, but this is them at their finest. The focus of the DVD is a live show played in Trbovlje, Slovenia, the industrial town birthplace of Laibach. The majority of the show is a live rendition of their most recent album Volk (a concept album of rearrangements of various national anthems). Some would see this as a downside when a band plays one newer album but I think that album is genius and was quite happy to see it performed live. They do follow this up with several songs mostly from their 2003 album WAT (also a good album). The show is great and has a really nice intimate atmosphere as it's played in a small theatre with a seated audience and contains stunning visuals which as a bonus you can actually watch separately with the CD recordings of the tracks. The DVD also contains a nice 11 minute montage of tour footage. Favorite live tracks include: Germania, America, Anglia, Rossiya, España, Yisrā'el, Nippon, Tanz Mit Laibach, and Achtung!
