REVIEWS/Social Distortion "Live In Orange County" DVD  

The video footage was filmed January 19th, 2003 at the House of Blues, in Anaheim, California. It opens with the band members in the side stage area waiting to go out and rock the house.

From there the band goes on to play fourteen songs in total, from various albums and two previously unreleased songs. It's hard for me to pick which song are my favorites on the DVD because the band played as great from one song to the next.

The special features on this DVD are pretty cool. You get to see the band backstage, playing a dice game, performing "Bad Luck" acoustically in the bathroom, and amongst other features, the Nona Split option!

Maybe I'm a total nerd but I am really digging the Nona Split feature. It allows the viewer to see nine different angles all on one screen (think "The Brady Bunch"). When you are at a concert you get to see the guitarist lose his pick, or a fan get tore up in a pit. It's not always a great shot of all the band members playing perfectly. The Nona Split reminds you that the "house" is packed with fans just like any other Social Distortion concert.

Social Distortion are great live performers from beginning to end of this DVD. The Special Features are definitly worth their time for you to check out if you get this DVD. This DVD is great because anytime you have a craving to see Social D live, you can just pop it in and watch. Enjoy!
