I wish I was at this Concert - It's mindblowing

Advantages: Seeing The Mac at their best
Disadvantages: None

...what a talent !!, Mick Fleetwood described this man as his 'secret weapon' for the concert and he was right - this man can play his socks off. The surprising solo of Mick Fleetwood was a little weird. I felt that Mick wanted a spot to host his talent as a supreme drummer, but If Mick had a chance to show off, I would have loved to see John McVie do a solo as well. John McVie is a supremly gifted bass play, they is not many who can touch him in his ...
...when towards end Mick Fleetwood introduced the band members to the audience- she received a roaring applause from the audience, more than Lindsey. Lesson learn't - Do not underestimate or mess with Ms Nicks I loved the whole DVD and if Fleetwwod Mac were to tour again. I will climb hell and high water to get tickets, they know how to work the crowd,I want to be there as they are keeping it real. CD1 The Chain Dreams Eyes of the World Peackeeper ...

Review of Fleetwood Mac - PBS Special - Live In Boston (+CD) (DVD)

Live 8 - Changing the World

Advantages: A day of History on DVD. Loads of really good artists live.
Disadvantages: No commentary and some of the extra's are a bit weak.

...names in music today performing live for your viewing pleasure. Its a bit like a compilation CD, but only you can see the artists performing live and the atmosphere from the crowds watching is electric and pulses through you as you watch. Its hard to explain in words how this show makes you feel. If you were there then you can reminisce of memories of the show you reember and the feeling you had when you were there. If (like me) you weren't there ...
...you can watch it all live now and still say that you were part of something big and helping the world. Back to the DVD. Its crammed full of performances on each disk. All in great quality (audio and visual) and are produced and captured very well. You turn off the lights, pull the curtains across, whack on the surround sound and you will feel like you are there in the crowd. The atmosphere is captured very well. The extras on the dvd are imho a ...

Review of Live 8 (Various Artists) (Digipack And Booklet) (DVD)

Classic Hits From The 50s And 60s

Advantages: Good sound track
Disadvantages: Poor Quality

I fully expected these recordings to be of a poor quality compared to today's standards as they would obviously be in the region of 50 years old. However, this DVD appears to be a compilation of various VHS recordings that have been recorded from recordings ...... from recordings ....... from recordings etc. until the quality has rendered the DVD virually unwatchable. In some cases the artists are barely recognisable. I have always been extremely ...
...find it disappointing that Amazon should offer for sale an item of such inferior quality. I chose this item because I thought that the price of £22.99 would reflect the quality (as opposed to cheaper recordings) but find it hard to justify for a recording of this quality. I wouldn't pay 22 pence for it. NOT RECOMMENDED. ...

Review of Classic Hits From The 50s And 60s - Vols. 1 And 2 (Various Artists) (DVD)

Englands Finest Glam Band

Advantages: Lots of great footage, music and interviews
Disadvantages: Joe Elliot constantly stealing the spotlight

...will totally love this DVD. Def Leppard are a British rock band that hail from Sheffield. Def Leppard are still going strong today after heaps of problems and tradgedies, and are still producing albums at a steady rate. Back in their day Def Leppard were the band that really gave Bon Jovi a run for their money. The DVD is broken up into two parts with two discs. The first disc is called visualize. The purpose to this disc is a chronicle of Def Leppards ...
...interest are "Vivian Campbell joins Def Leppard" and at the very end there is an interview on the future of Def Leppard. This gives valuable insight into what we are to expect from Def leppard in the future. I do have one slight discrepancy with the interviews however. Predominantly on all the interviews it is Joe Elliot the lead singer taking over and doing virtually all the talking. It would be lovely if the rest of the band could get a word or ...

Review of Def Leppard - Visualize / Video Archive (DVD)

Rush - Live in Rio - The Boys in Brazil

Advantages: Great sound, brilliant documentary included.
Disadvantages: Packaging is not a hard plastic case.

I've followed Rush for years since I met Geddy Lee at the Manchester Apollo in the 70's when they toured the UK. This is a brilliant live dvd - far better than the Rush at the NEC recording (I went to that concert too) but I think that is largely because the music has improved a lot from the days of Geddy taking the synth front stage instead of Alex Lifeson's guitar playing. If you remember Chrnicles, this is pretty much the defniitive live history ...
...which for some reason became hugely popular in Brazil as a the opening track on a TV series there. I liked particularly the documentary "The Boys in Brazil" which gives you a personal glimpse into an otherwise very camera shy trio when it comes to their private life - watch out for Alex joking with his wife in the hotel room about putting on make-up. You'll enjoy this, so get the kids out, plug in the home cinema and get ready to rock out. ...
