Bireli Lagrene And Friends - Live Jazz A Vienne (DVD)

Advantages: Too many to mention Just ENJOY
Disadvantages: Hours spent watching 10

...I was one of those lucky few who was there on the day. The day that music changed the world something that has continued ever since but has never been achieved up to this standard. I have been to many many live gigs but this one comes right at the top, I can still remember the shivers down my spine as I felt the excitement from crowds and performers alike so, when the concert was released on DVD I decided to purchase it. All proceeds from this dvd goes to the Band Aid trust to continue their help in feeding the world. The 4 disc DVD is beautifully presented in a fold out cover which slips into a protective box., It contains an informative booklet giving information and glossy colour photographs from that day.. I was also interested to see that it contained some unseen footage and a documentary which was shown on the BBC a year after... Read review

Advantages: Easy watching, some good acting and great vocal performances
Disadvantages: Acting from some of the cast is a bit over-the-top

...years on, with his father dead, Peter is now Lord Morton and the only firm decision he's made about the house he can't really afford to live in is that he's having a party with his university friends. So have they grown-up or are they still immature twenty-two year olds at heart? I once read some Internet Movie Database trivia that claimed that Rita Rudner (who plays Andrew's wife Carol, a seemingly minor TV star looking for a film break that she's never likely to get) and her husband Martin Bergman wrote the script for Peter's Friends in about five days, and I must admit there are moments when I watch this film that make me think, "Didn't they want to write a better final draft?". Peter's Friends is very much character-driven - nothing exactly eventful happens, rather it seems to provide the six friends with a bit of time out of their busy... Read review

Advantages: Real to life stories turned into hilarious everyday moments
Disadvantages: None

...similar to that but without the visual part of the stories and the sweating! His laugh is also infectious, he laughs at his own stories and you cant help but laugh along with him The dvd itself is pretty basic, only his Live at the apollo performance as an extra. Theres a brief opening scene of him being posh and chauffered around but apart from that, thats it. To be honest though you dont need anymore than that, the event itself is outstanding. Very little audience participation which is his way of doing things, he has stories to tell, theyre funny, you laugh and then he goes. Simple but effective! Some of my favourite stories include going into a buffet waiting to be seated then immediately getting up and going back the way you came in to get to the buffet! Me and my girlfriend had this whole scenario a few months back in an all... Read review
