Synopsis - Rage Against the Machine: Live at the Grand Olympic Auditorium (2000) On September 13th, 2000, Rage Against The Machine performed their last show as a band.On that night, Rage proved once again that they were, without a doubt, one of the greatest rock bands to ever hit the stage. Thankfully, a camera crew and a sound crew were on hand to capture the show.And now, at long last, comes the release of the dvd, Live At The Grand Olympic Auditorium. If you've ever been lucky enough to see Rage in concert, you know how intense and incredible they were. If you weren't lucky enough to see one of their shows, this concert will show you what you missed. In addition to the last concert that Rage would ever perform, the DVD also includes bonus footage taken from the band's performance outside the 2000 Democratic National Convention in Los Angeles. The footage is raw, the performance is raw, and it is a stunning example of Rage's incredible mixture of music and politics. The dvd features all of the Rage hits, opening with "Bulls On Parade" and ending with "Freedom."The dvd also features a guest performance from Cypress Hill on "How I Could Just Kill A Man." Rage also covers the MC5 classic "Kick Out The Jams." Live At The Olympic Auditorium is an absolute, without-a-doubt must-have for every single Rage Against The Machine fan.Synopsis - Rage Against The Machine: The Battle Of Mexico City (2000) Outside Mexico City's Sports Pavilion, hundreds of young Rage fans rattle metal fences and throw rocks at the increasingly nervous police. Inside, a seething crowd of 5,000 lucky ticket holders cram into the cavernous pavilion chanting anti-government slogans and poking their middle fingers into the thick, sweaty air while waiting for Rage Against the Machine to storm the stage.
One of the greatest live acts in music history, Rage only affirms that fact with this show. Whatever club, theatre, arena, or stadium they're in, the opening of each Rage Against the Machine show always feels like a grenade has gone off. But this night it was as if a truckful of bombs blew up as the band tore into the opening salvo of "Testify." Fans cascaded toward the stage like rippling waves stopping only to pogo up-and-down like jackhammers.
Longtime supporters of various political causes in Mexico, Rage were performing for the very first time in Mexico City. The connection between the band and the audience is electric. From the early "all hell can't stop us now" chant in "Guerilla Radio" to the blood-curling screams in the finale of "Freedom," there is an urgency at this show that is unrivalled. This is live rock & roll as it's meant to be heard: fierce, funky, uncompromising. This is Rage Against the Machine in their finest hour.
