Scissor Sisters - Live In London

Tons of fun, but not as good as it could have been.
It's always exciting when Scissor Sisters release a DVD. As someone who has seen them four times now myself, I can testify that these guys know how to bring the party. However, this DVD has pros and cons. Even though the band did a tour for their most recent album Magic Hour before going on hiatus, their new DVD is from 2011, during the Night Work tour. However, even their full Night Work tour setlist isn't here.
The DVD is taken directly from a television program covering the Lovebox Festival. Drawbacks to this are that the band is amongst a bigger lineup and has to abbreviate their set to around 50 minutes, the band isn't in front of their die-hard audience, and the show is mostly a pre-dusk show. It's my experience that Scissor Sisters are best experienced in the dark. Even the lighting for the tour looked best in a darkened concert venue. What's more misleading is that the font and artwork are far more reminiscent of Magic Hour. But no, sorry. There's no "Let's Have a Kiki"...

expect more from my fave band
The DVD should have just auto-played when you put in in instead of having a menu. Since there are no special features, that would have made sense. THE reason i bought this was because i was hungry for new SS content but I got nothing I hadn't seen or heard already. I wanted special features like those found on their prior DVDs, but that wasn't found.

The only benefit of buying this is that its DVD recording of their newer songs...but honestly, you could find that online for free through their work with BBC during their Tower of London concert.

Bottom line: As a hardcore fan, I say its not worth they money. Felt cheated.

Not so good
The reason I say not so good is that this show is in the day time and takes the real show away from the Scissor Sisters. They need their light show and effects to thrill the audience; it came up a bit lack luster for me.
