It's a shame.

Unfortunately it's not my DVD and I watched it at someone else's house so only saw the concert, I'll have to borrow it and have a watch of the documentary though.
You're right, 3 albums in 17 years is a very poor return (not counting Rob Thomas' two solo efforts, which are actually both very good). I suppose the departure of Adam Gaynor in 2005 didn't help matters. Also, judging by how awesome the drumming is in this live DVD i found it pretty odd that Paul Doucette moved from drums to replace Adam Gaynor on rhythm guitar and they then hired a new drummer, rather than just hiring a new guitarist.
Anyway, they're releasing a new album later this year, just finishing up in the studio apparently so that's something to look forward to.
