The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

Many other bands have played in Cuba. Off the top of my head, Billy Joel played in the Havana Jam in 1979. It is a common misconception, shared by even the New York Times (see the article by Peter Watrous dated 2/15/99). And another thing: the purpose of the embargo is not to isolate Cuba from the US, it is to stop aid to a sworn enemy of the USA. It is Cuba who blocks or censors any foreign influence. The embargo is used by Cuba to justify everything from infant mortality to the crumbling infrastructure of the country. In fact, the US government has allowed sales of food to Cuba to the tune of over a billion dollars in the last 5 years, the problem is that Cuba does not want to pay cash and is looking for monetary aid to keep a disastrous form of government afloat.

So I'm a big concert fan, I love going to them, but I love this DVD, its nice to be able to see them perform a great show with a lot of their best songs. not to mention you get to hear whats left of Rage Against The Machines play "Bulls On Parade" and you get to here Chris Cornell play a most amazing acoustic version of "Black Hole Sun" but you slowly start to notice that music and the singing gets a little bit sloppy around the end, but you have to keep in mind that they are playing for about 2 hours, so don't be to harsh around the end. I recommend the purchase to any Audioslave fan, or to someone who just likes a few songs, to me its a Concert that doesn't disappoint

Such fun. But kind of ruined with a so-so mix and some problems with the video here and there too. Don't bands always use the same people? Liked the Olympic Auditorium DVD a lot...still listen to it as it has such raw energy but still sounds great. Anyway, always a fan...but my high rating is for the band... not the actual DVD. sorry. I'm just a big fan of kickin' back and pretending like I'm there and it's not working for me.I can tell that the vibe of the concert when seen live must have been fun. I have to get off my booty and see more live concerts...since the DVD's are random in quality.I look forward to more from this band.

The quality of video and audio on this DVD is astounding! It sounds as close to CD quality as I have ever heard of a live performance recording.The performance itself is intense. These guys are tight as hell, and they have a blast on stage. This performance is a statement too, as Audioslave is the first American rock band to have ever performed in Cuba. They put on a free show in Havana, open to the public, with no idea how it will turn out--and 70,000 people attend! Unreal.Be sure to check out the documentary on the DVD too. It has some great footage of the band members as individuals, and really illustrates the band's diversity, as well as its humanitarian mentality.Overall, the DVD was very well produced. It is definitely one of the best music DVD's I've watched, and well worth the purchase.
