Not only is Underoath one of the most intense live acts on the road, regardless of genre, but the hard rockers are among the most popular. Though catching the band in its inaugural audio/visual concert collection is a fitting snapshot for anyone wanting to relive or initially encounter the undertaking, it doesn’t quite match the explosiveness of the in-person experience.
For starters, the CD portion of Survive, Kaleidoscope is culled from several shows, which demonstrates the band’s searing consistency regardless of the city, but lacks the recorded continuity of a single date.
The accompanying DVD comes straight from the Electric Factory in Philadelphia and lets members come literally as close as the cameras allow. It still won’t match the hysteria of actually being there, but at least this footage aptly provides the next closest opportunity.
