Rock Steady Live is a DVD recorded at a Feb. 26, 2002 No Doubt concert in Long Beach Arena. The concert features 17 songs, including many of the band's hits, plus additional live footage, band interviews, behind-the-scenes peeks and vocalist Gwen Stefani performing with the Pussycat Dolls. Rock Steady Live, as well as Live in the Tragic Kingdom, were directed by Sophie Muller, who also helmed many of the band's music videos.

[edit] Critical reception

The video received mixed reviews from critics. Allmovie stated that the band "has managed to stay fresh and inventive after more than a decade together".[1] Allmusic, however, found the vocals to be heavily overdubbed and the editing "breathlessly nervous", commenting that "it is nothing like what the crowd at the venue heard".[2] OMH Media gave the DVD a positive review, stating that it "captures the concert in all its fast and furious glory and is a must for any No Doubt fan out there".[3]
