Foo Fighters - Live At Wembley Stadium (2008) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I dare any Foo Fighter's fan to watch this concert video without getting a major case of goose bumps! If you've ever had the distinct pleasure of seeing Dave Grohl and company perform live, you will cherish every moment of this show. Wembley is a very grand, and fitting venue for one of the greatest live rock bands out there today. And after an hour and a half of non-stop, blood-pumping live jam, they bring out Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones for the encore...are you kidding me??! Gotta go...I'm still watching!

165,000 tickets sold and more than four hours of music later, FOO FIGHTERS have now immortalized their biggest ever headline stand: FOO FIGHTERS: LIVE AT WEMBLEY STADIUM, an 18-song Blu-ray disc that documents their two sold out Wembley Stadium shows.The Wembley concerts, which took place Friday and Saturday June 6 and 7 of this year, sold out within 24 hours, making them the biggest headline performances of the band's illustrious career--as well as the biggest rock shows staged at the new Wembley Stadium to date.FOO FIGHTERS: LIVE AT WEMBLEY STADIUM is a career-spanning live opus, drawing on all six of Foo Fighters' studio albums, featuring Dave Grohl (vocals/guitar), Taylor Hawkins (drums/vocals), Nate Mendel (bass) and Chris Shiflett (guitar) ripping through classics "Times Like These," "Everlong," "Monkey Wrench," "All My Life" and "Learn To Fly" as well as new live staples including "Long Road To Ruin." Elsewhere the core FF four are joined by co-founding FF guitarist Pat Smear, keyboardist Rami Jaffee, violinist/cellist Jessy Greene and percussionist Drew Hester on the disc’s blazing opener "The Pretender" as well as a semi-acoustic mid-set section featuring intimate versions of "My Hero," the Grohl-penned Nirvana B-Side "Marigold," Hawkins' lead vocal turn on "Cold Day In The Sun" and more.Like the Wembley weekend, FOO FIGHTERS: LIVE AT WEMBLEY STADIUM concludes with a triumphant and highly emotional "Best Of You" with a closing chorus of 85,000 fans leaving Grohl visibly moved.Blu-ray Disc Tracklisting1.The Pretender2.Times Like These3.No Way Back4.Cheer Up, Boys (Your Make Up Is Running)5.Learn To Fly6.Long Road To Ruin7.Breakout8.Stacked Actors9.Skin And Bones10.Marigold11.My Hero12.Cold Day In The Sun13.Everlong14.Monkey Wrench15.All My Life16.Rock And Roll17.Ramble On18.Best Of YouAudio/ VideoFull 1080p24 High Definition PicturePCM (uncompressed) StereoPCM (uncompressed) 5.1 Surround Sound (48kHz/24-bit)Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Sound (640 kbps)

Jeff Buckley - Live in Chicago (2000) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Jeff Buckley fans are very lucky to have this sort of a DVD release. It took me a while to really become a Jeff Buckley fan (and now there is no turning back). I remember first borrowing an advance copy of Grace back in 1994 and being seduced by the easily loved Hallelujah (who didn't?) and also So Real, but the rest of that album proved I was unready for such a unique singer. Later on, after Sketches for My Sweetheart the Drunk came out, I became much more interested. Mystery White Boy further solidified my fascination for his way of doing things, and now, with this Live In Chicago DVD, I am completely convinced. A little late, I admit.
I wonder, while writing this review, if this is the best place to start, for the new-comer. I think it is. Some might initially be turned off by his fluctuating vocals, but later, I guarantee, that will be precisely what you love about him. His compassionate yodels range from a pigeons coo, to a hyena's laugh, to a goldfish burble, to a puma's roar. And his guitar playing can trigger memories of This Mortal Coil, The Mission, and Johnny Marr (he makes two Smiths references on this DVD, one of which is a parody of a Morrissey-style song about policemen! And on Mystery White Boy he welds I Know It's Over to Hallelujah). Whatever hints of influences glisten through his songs, they are undoubtedly his, meaning: It sounds like Jeff Buckley. He and his band bleed through their instruments to produce a dizzying sonic sweep through the central nervous system. And to see this is amazing. His lyrics are the type that take you a while to realize he is lamenting a certain part of your own life (or at least that's how it feels). Lines like, "My Kingdom for a kiss upon her shoulder" are so intimate and so precise, you wonder why nobody has come up with it before. And I can't help but wonder when he sings "Father do you hear me, do you know me, do you even care?" (What Will You Say) if he is singing to his father, Tim Buckley, who he did not know.
If you are like me and you enjoy hearing different interpretations to songs you already like, then you will love this film. Notable spots are the strange and hypnotic rendering of Big Star's 1975 hit Kangaroo where he ferociously barks, "You're just like Saint Joan..." with sweat dripping from his hair (on Mystery White Boy he barely whispers the same line, mind you), then after the song is pretty much over, he jams wildly unlike any way you can imaging being appropriate for such a song and does this for some time, ending up by the speakers, playing to them creating the type of feedback you'd expect at a Crazy Horse audition. Then there is the surprise Kick Out The Jams, featuring a goofy guy named Crazy Dave (or something) sharing the vocals then doing the un-Grace-ful bellyflop into the front three rows (I think that sort of stunt is always better witnessed on film than in real life, for obvious reasons). Then again, the audience deserved that sort of hurl. They spend most of the time between songs begging for Jeff to play Hallelujah, and he seems bothered by it. He eventually gives them a piece of his mind (which I will not describe) and seems to play most of the remaining set behind closed eyes, as if, for himself.
The DVD is coupled with a documentary/interview that is captivating. He speaks so tenderly about music, like some do about love. And throughout are performances that are equally haunting. Not to mention the two acoustic versions.
It's good, get it.

Jethro Tull: Live at Madison Square Garden 1978 (DVD/CD) (2009) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Do this: buy this set. Insert the DVD into your video player. Choose 'Track select: Opening.' Then enjoy an hour of the most exceptional Jethro Tull footage heretofore released. Ask: When have you been so richly entertained for $20? But wait, there's more: add the audio tracks that precede and follow the DVD footage, and the companion CD you get, too.
We probably have this in common: the whole CD catalog, all the video released to date, the album where the band stands up, and the one that folds out as a newspaper. If I were to select a single favorite Jethro Tull product, it may very well be the concert telecast featured on this DVD. I simply can't recommend it more highly.

Christina Aguilera - Stripped - Live in the UK Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I saw the Stripped Tour (part of the Justified/Stripped Tour) on August 25th, 2003. With the exception of Christina adding 1 song, "Cruz" to her European Leg of the Tour, the concert was the same.
She opens with the sexually-charged "Dirrty," coming out in a black catsuit with red tape over her breasts and lower areas. She then moves into "Get Mine, Get Yours" which is another great performance. Then the empowering "The Voice Within" which she performs flawlessly. She then remixes her first hit "Genie In A Bottle," then goes into "Can't Hold Us Down" minus the motorcycle she rode onstage during her US Tour. After CHUD, she performs "Make Over." Then she does her latin section "Contigo En La Distanci/Falsas Esperanzas" and "Infatuation" followed by an acoustic version of "Come On Over Baby." Then she does a tribute to one of her idols - Etta James, by singing "At Last" (which is AMAZING) and "I Prefer You." Then she does "Lady Marmalade" minus Lil Kim, Mya, and Pink. Then "Walk Away" and "Fighter." Followed by "What A Girl Wants." She then comes out in a simple teeshirt which reads "God Sees No Color" and a pair of jeans, and performs the number one hit "Beautiful." Don't miss the chance to own the DVD by the best pop performer out there.

U2 - 360° AT THE ROSE BOWL (2010) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I was at that concert, and it was a typical U2 extravaganza. Exceptionally well done, and the energy, look and feel of the Rose Bowl audience and environment and U2's interaction with it was a part of its success. Afterwards, I really really enjoyed the Youtube broadcast of it that was available online for a couple of weeks before they yanked it.
Regarding the DVD, I am disappointed because I felt the editing didn't do justice to the entire concert environment in a way that was accessible. No shot was on the screen for much longer than 7 seconds, and most between 3 and 5 seconds. I have amazingly quick vision (I make my living drawing people and things really fast) yet I felt I never had a chance to focus on any one scene before another was quickly flashed, faded into, etc. There were few views that gave a sense of the hugeness of the concert. It was like blinking my eyes and another view. I'm pretty good at connecting the dots, and even though I was at that concert, the DVD never gave much of a feeling of the whole.
While the camera work and sound, etc., were very well done, I felt there was too much being thrown at the viewer, too fast. Frankly, I thought the Youtube live broadcast provided a better feel of the concert and visual experience of it, which was after all, a "world event".

**Note if you are still reading this, and you haven't clicked on the 'Purchase ASAP Button', there must be something wrong with you. I would pay at least $50, if not $100 for this DVD! In fact, I will probably buy 2 or 3 more copies, in anticipation of wearing this copy out (From viewing it Sooooo many times). I have owned this DVD for 2/3 years & couldn't tell you how many times I've viewed it (Not enough fingers & toes to count that High!) Enjoy this at all cost! Great DVD to insert during a party or while playing pool (you can hear great music and whenever you glance at the screen you will see some great musicians playing like they've never played before!
Now I leave you with some lyrics!
*Brainstorm, take me away from the norm. I got to tell you something. This phenomenon, I had to put it in a song & it goes like Whoa! (Amber)*

*Far is solace in the maddening pace, sad state written on my face, not a tight rope, walk but dance uncertain. Game of chance but I'll see it through in time. (I'll be here awhile)*
*I took it as a compliment, regardless what they meant it could have been innocent spent. So spent railing against undeserved dangling precipitants, raining down idiots always flapping in the flapping in the wind. (Sometimes Jacks Rule the Realm)*
*With the words slaying me slow, the verbs that just don't flow, confusing the Use Of Time. Partial stoning of the heart, waiting for something to start, confusing the Use Of Time. But the trying again, makes me think it's all gonna end, confusing the Use Of Time. But every time I turn the volume down, all I hear is the deafening sound of your hearts pound! (Use Of Time)*

Israel & New Breed: Alive in South Africa (2006) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)After a few delays with this release because of the recording format used in South Africa, I can truly say that it was worth the wait. I purchased my copy yesterday at Family Christian bookstore and called three friends of mine to let them know that I had in my hands. You talk about true unadulerated worship...OH MY GOD. I got as far as "Alpha and Omega" and I was on the floor. To hear this song on the CD was already moving me to tears. But to see it captured on DVD...Man...
Anyone, who was waiting on this one...please get it. The presence of the Lord will just consume you...
