If you thought the Pogues were the only band to spike their punk with the Celtic spirit, you don't know the Dropkick Murphys. Granted, the Bostonians rock faster and harder, but the Old Sod still lives on in their tunes. On the Road features over four hours of Murphys madness. The six-part journey begins with an annual event, the boys live in Beantown on St. Paddy's Day (also available as an Epitaph CD). The playing is inspired, the crowd is pumped. That's not unusual for a rock concert. What is unusual are the step dancers, the punk-rock "Amazing Grace," and the tartan-sporting bagpipe player (Spicy McHaggis). 65 Days of Hell documents DKM on tour throughout the U.S. and Canada. They drink, they skate, they bowl--they play music, too. Behind the Scenes is a rambling look at the band around the world over the course of the years. Finland, Australia, Japan--you name it. The lads have fans wherever they go. Black and Gold is a quickie capturing DMK at a Bruins game. Then you get seven music videos, one ("Barroom Hero") featuring original singer Mike McColgan (replaced by Al Barr), and a short about DKM and their second favorite holiday (Labor Day). On the Road is 260 minutes of bliss for the Dropkick Murphys aficionado. All right everyone, repeat after me: "Let's go, Murphys!" --Kathleen C. Fennessy

 Unlike anything that I have ever heard before August 1, 2007

Dropkick Murphys play an amazing combination of loud hard angry music with bagpipes thrown in for good measure. :)
I realize that I am most likely much older than their normal fan base. So that goes to show you that they can appeal to all ages. You don't have to be a kid to like this band. You just have to have a rebellious streak, like I do, at times. It definitely comes out when I watch or listen to this band. They are loud and fun.
The St. Patrick's day concert alone is worth the purchase of this dvd. Buy this dvd. You may be pleasantly surprised, like I was the first time that I heard this band. :)
I LOVE IT! October 1, 2006

I bought this DVD a few weeks ago, & I have watched it several times since. I got a co-worker of mine addicted to DKM, & made him watch the DVD. He loved it too! Sooooooooooo many hours of footage, & behind the scenes stuff!
Irish Punk Rock At Its Best!!! March 13, 2006

This is the best band dvd i have ever seen in my life. the dropkick murphys are my favorite band of all time. its just so cool how they take what the pogues were doing and take it to another level with the extreme streetpunk guitar riffs. The concert footage of the St. Paddys Day concert is terrific, it really shows you how much spirit and fun there is in going to a dkm concert. the music videos are great as well, you can only see the "gonna be a blackout" music video on the dvd that comes with blackout and this dvd. you cannot find it anywhere on the internet. i also love the 'black and gold' documentary because it shows how dkm is loyally dedicated to the boston bruins. overall, this is just a great concert dvd and a great collectors item for any dkm fan or streetpunk fan or just someone with lots of irish-american pride.
A must-have for any DKM fan July 15, 2005

This DVD is 4 hours of pure bliss. It features the Live On St. Patrick's Day concert, except for the songs Which Side Are You On, Fortunate Son, Dirty Water, and Nutty (Bruin's Theme). The mini-feature film "65 Days Of Hell" gives you an idea of what life is like on the road for the DKM's. You might be disappointed in the sound quality of some of the live shows featured in this film, but it's worth taking a look at. In the feature called "Labor Day Documentary", you'll hear the DKM's perform an acoustic version of Boys On The Docks. This DVD also features most of their music videos from "Barroom Hero" to "Gonna Be A Blackout". There's more, but I'll leave you to find out what else on it.
 Could Have Been Much Better... November 7, 2004

I was excited to get this DVD being a fan or the Dropkick Murphys but at the same I was worried they would screw it up like a lot of punk bands have been doing thier DVD releases. Well the day came and I was really dissapointed. The live St. Patricks day show had terrible audio and bad picture. It seemed like they tried to hard to make it look all MTV like like but it just totally meessed it up. As for the other few hours of footage, well some good some bad. Some of it i found myself laughing my head off but other times i'm just hoping it would end. They show the same songs from different shows done with a single camera over and over and it gets really boring. Overall I was really dissapointed with this DVD and I hope bands start doing high quality DVD's instead of just throwing together a whole bunch of crap.
