On October 9, 2004 in Madison Square Gardens in New York City, The Beastie Boys handed out 50 cameras to audience members at their sold-out performance. These 50 different, passionate perspectives, shot from the point-of-view of the audience, take the viewer deep inside the world of a live Beastie Boys show, prismatically and kinetically capturing the experience of a live musical performance like no other film.

The groundbreaking music DVD, directed by Beastie Boy, Adam Yauch (aka Nathanial Hörnblowér) is the first of its kind in the music DVD genre: a feature-length film shot by fans for fans.

“One of the things that we love about this film is the fact it is so edgy and thoroughly modern,” says Jeff Sackman, President THINKFilm.  “We believe that this DVD will give anyone who loves music a reason to remember why it is they love concerts.”
 
“There are an incredible amount of innovative features on this DVD,” says Marc Hirshberg, SVP THINKFilm. “Yauch is a recognized innovator, and his dogged determination to push the boundaries of the medium really takes the DVD to an entirely different level.  This DVD experience is going to blow even the biggest Beastie Boys fan away.”

“The DVD has given us a great opportunity to present the footage that didn’t make it into the final cut of the film” said Yauch, chief electro-mechanical engineer at Oscilloscope Laboratories.  “It’s been interesting to build grids of outtake footage, and watch the way the different perspectives play out simultaneously.”
