The Last Dispatch

This was worth the trip to Boston. By far the best show I've ever seen. There were kids hanging from the trees, even I swam in the Charles River(only to find out later it's one of the dirtiest rivers I could have ever jumped in.

The DVD gives the show the credit it deserves. I only gave it an 8 though because they cut a lot of songs out of the two shows that really should have been there.

I didn't even know about the other show until we got the DVD. Both shows though, fantastic views of each on the DVD.

mad love for dispatch.

The Last Dispatch is not a music documentary that you have ever seen before. This is more than the story of a band- it is an interesting look at the role of music in contemporary youth culture. The film examines many of the dominant issues in today's music industry- from the Napster revolution to the role that music can play in politics. More than anything, though, this is a universal story- about the importance of the relationship between music and people. This film succeeds in examining the power that music holds over its audience while avoiding the traditional music documentary clichés. Anyone who ever loved a band, or even just one song, will love the Last Dispatch.

The film 'Last Dispatch' is a must see for anyone who has ever dared to dream. This captivating documentary tells the story of a band, Dispatch, who succeeded in the music industry without ever signing to a label (a feat that any music enthusiast knows is nearly impossible). This band started with a dream and ended with the biggest event in independent music history, a concert with 110,000 attendees. The story of 'Last Dispatch' is inspiring to anyone who has ever had a vision that no one else was able to see. This inspiring story is accompanied by excellent directing and producing. It is a must see for any dispatch fan, music enthusiast or dreamer.

As a musician and former independent band member, this movie is a celebration of the commitment, hard work, passion and luck that it takes to pull a band together and make a difference. Combining personalities, musical talent, unique perspectives and individual aspirations; the band Dispatch accomplished what only other indy bands dream about... independent success in a "sell out" music industry.

From the "behind the scenes" beginning to the amazing turnout of the bands "Last Dispatch", this movie wins the hearts of die hard fans as well as newcomers alike. In the end, you are only left with one question, "Why does this have to be the Last Dispatch?"

If you are a fan of independent music and film production, this is a must-see.

I was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to pre-screen the last DISPATCH and I must say, as a "late comer" fan, I am truly saddened that I missed the ride. I came to Dispatch long after they stopped touring and I was unable to attend their final show. I can honestly say that after watching the documentary I understood not only the three men that were Dispatch, but I also began to see whisperings of my own life. This was a story for the ages. Although the title carries the name of a band the story is one of friendship, perseverance, and the ability to let go. Not only would I recommend that every Dispatch fan watch the movie, but I would urge anyone with a revolutionary heart to watch as well. I watched three amazing musicians push themselves, against all mainstream support, to become one of the best independent bands in music history. From last DISPATCH I take away a fuller understanding of the three that are Dispatch as well as a renewed sense to strength in my own beliefs.
