Product Description

You can think of this feature-length concert DVD/live album, which features all the crucial Queens hits from their studio albums, as a "to go" version of their decibel-happy shows, but that really won't be doing the three and a half hours of live, rare, and acoustic performances and behind-the-scenes footage of the band and their pals like Dave Grohl, Mark Lanegan, Billy Gibbons, and former Queens bassist Nick Olivieri making fools of themselves, justice.

It might help to think of Over the Years as a 21st-century version of Led Zeppelin's The Song Remains the Same for the volume of its material, or even A Hard Day's Night for its willingness to show the Queens having a laugh, but they'd rather you see and hear it for what it really is--the definitive encapsulation of the band and their music from their not-so-humble beginnings to their current status as one of the rock's biggest and most dynamic acts.

Included in the concert footage from the band's sold-out Brixton Academy and Koko shows in London last summer are live favorites from Rated R and Songs for the Deaf such as "No One Knows," "Feel Good Hit of the Summer," and "Go with the Flow," as well as new Queens classics from their latest album Lullabies to Paralyze like the smash single "Little Sister" and their most recent bombshell, "Burn the Witch." In addition to the three-plus hours of live and uncut Queens mayhem, Over the Years also boasts 75 minutes of audio bliss that covers all the bases Queens fans need to get the rush of their favorite songs performed live and loud shot directly into their homes.

Also included are the brand-new track "Fun Machine" as well as "Make It Wit Chu," a previously unreleased gem from singer Josh Homme's fabled Desert Sessions, an ongoing series of collaborative songwriting and recording sessions where marquee musicians such as PJ Harvey and Deen Ween are invited down to his studio Rancho De La Luna in Joshua Tree, California, to join him in collectively exploring new musical terrain.

Jump (or be forced) directly into the three-plus hour DVD on this a/v split release for footage of Josh Homme and band on the stage in London during the hottest months of 2005. There are plenty of behind-the-scenes shots of the ever revolving group. Foo Fighter Dave Grohl pops up. ZZ Top's Billy Gibbons pulls a cameo. It's all here. Key performances include "No One Knows," "Little Sister," "Burn The Witch," plus smoking versions of "Fun Machine" and "I Wanna Make It Wit Chu" (from Desert Sessions Vol. 9 & 10). The audio-only disc provides listeners with 75 minutes of pure QotSA including a powerhouse reading of "I Think I Lost My Headache" and an appropriately ragged "Long Slow Goodbye." This often strange picture is a fine fitting snapshot. --Jedd Beaudoin

    The best music DVD I’ve ever come across. The main concert feature is very well shot and edited. Intercut with backstage behind the scenes looks It feels very personal. The DVD includes tons of extra features that any fan would value and appreciate. A very comprehensive document. It has everything you could possibly want. I highly recommend. Happy Trails!

    Arrived on time and as promised. This is one of the best live albums I've ever heard and I listened to to it on my way to see the Queens play a show at the Mann Center in Phila. (July 2014.) They are a great live band and this album gives the listener an accurate and fabulous introduction to the best rock band of the 21st century. Buy the album and you will have to see them live, You won't be disappointed. Steph Scintilla

    This is a great live dvd/cd. According to the sticker on the cover it is an exact recording of a 2005 show in london. No edits, overdubs, backtracking or any other studio magic has been applied to this raw recording. The dvd is quite long and the cd takes 14 highlights from the show and puts them to cd to listen to when you dont want to watch. One of the best live albums/dvds I've heard in a long time.

    This is one of the best live performances by Queens that I've seen on disk. This came with an audio disk as well which is an extra bonus. You won't be disappointed - they rip it up on this one, as always!!

    Great live versions of songs that I already love. A lot of the album is faster and heavier versions of the studio songs. The live DVD sounds great but is pretty much just the album plus a few extra songs. Great buy if you are looking for a good live album. OK buy if you are looking for a good concert DVD.

    As a QOTSA fan this was probably the best thing I ever bought, ever! The CD alone is worth the price and the DVD is priceless. Make sure to watch all the bonus material. All of it!!!!!

    I'd seen bits and pieces of this a number of years ago (I think this DVD is approaching a decade old now), and all of a sudden a new Amazon recommendation put it back top of mind after those years, so I bought it..... excellent decision!

    Always liked Josh Homme, and Queens and Kyuss and his thing with Grohl and J.P.J., "Them Vultures What Weren't Straight" (Grohl even played with "Queens" for a while I think), and even recently dug something new to me, Josh with Eagles Of Death Metal. The two things I appreciate most about the man are a: his resolve and longevity... he broke into the music business as a teenager, has never looked back, has played with EVERYBODY, and is today quietly one of the most influential writers, performers and producers in rock music, and b: his seemingly effortless ability to write interesting, timely, thought-provoking songs....... and still mercilessly beat the living s*** out of his guitar!

    Yes, I like it loud, and this DVD is really kind of a perfect storm for me. It is a study (a VERY successful one) on what electric guitars and basses (and they're all detuned... it's what all the kids are doing) can sound like given the proper amplification and the proper accompaniment of a ridiculously huge powerhouse drummer. This concert film is big, ugly, loud and scary!... And if you like Petulia Clarke... you're gonna freakin' HATE it!

    Still interested? Cheers, all!

    viele Jahre mussten vergehen, doch nun bin ich angekommen, im umfangreichen Ton-Universum von "Queens of the Stone Age". Ich fand vor Jahren nie den Zugang zu dieser Band und dem teilweise wuchtig, schrägen Eskapaden. Vor einigen Monaten bin ich mal wieder drauf zurückgekommen und hab mir mal wieder die einzige, von der Band in meinem Regal stehende CD "Rated R" aus dem Jahre 2000 in die Ohren gelegt. Aber hallo...jetzt habe ich den Dreck...ich bin drauf!!!
    Sofort habe ich mir nun vor 2 Wochen die "Over the Years and through the Wood" zu gelegt, um es mir als Freund der Live Atmosphäre so richtig zu geben und nun komme von dem Teil nicht mehr runter, Alle Achtung...da wurde und wird schwer gearbeitet, mit Herzblut und Spielfreude, das man glaubt mitten drin zu sein....oder hautnah dran?
    Kraft strotzend und mit purer Energie (Wenn man bedenkt in welcher Situation sich die Band damals gerade befand) gibt es hier einen Granaten Gig zu bestaunen, bei dem ich live gern mal anwesend gewesen wäre.
    Danke im übrigen an die Leute von der Regie...die ich hier mal als grandios bezeichnen möchte...rau, ungeschönt drauf...geile Schnitte und Kamerapassagen, was den musikalischen Dampf richtig gut in die Optik stellt.

    Und nun geht es natürlich erst mal rein in den Fundus...und wenn ich richtig informiert bin, bewegt sich bei den Jungs (noch mit Dame?)ja gerade wieder was...ich bin gespannt was mir auf dieser Reise so ins Hirn kommt.

    wünsche angenehmen Flug :-)

    The double treat DVD/CD reflects really well the early sound and performances of QOTSA. Bonus materials on the DVD, although of uneven quality video and sound wise, show stages i never seen before.
    I was at one of their gigs this year and i really recommend this box if you want to see how they got on then a few years ago, there was already some good seeds there, and a great interraction with the public, along with their well known down to earth attitude.
    Great to have the CD for the car too, Would recommend 100%
