LIVE AID - DAY THAT ROCKED THE WORLD

Advantages: Great memories of a great day
Disadvantages: None

...date was yes it was Live Aid, I was 16 at the time sadly I didn't get to go there as it was down in London (Wembly Stadium), but I got to watch it all on the Television. It started in London at Midday, USA joined in at Midday their time which was around 5pm our time UK ended at 10pm then USA took us through to around 4am next day what a spectacular show it was. Now at that time Video Recorders were fairly new to the world and our house didn't have ...
...last year when they released Live Aid the DVD. Live Aid was the creation of Bob Geldof and Midge Ure and it came about after they had recorded the original Band Aid song "Do They Know It's Christmas" which was created after Bob and Midge saw a BBC news report about the famine in Africa. Do They Know It's Christmas to this day is still the biggest selling single of all time and featured bands such as Duran Duran, Bananarama, Wham and acts such as ...

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)

GREATEST

Advantages: Marvelous videos
Disadvantages: Not any interviews with the band apart from DVD ROM

...it was time I reviewed Duran Durans greatest on DVD. This is a two disk set and also a region 0 that means it can play on any DVD player. The packaging on this is very nice and quite simple, white box and when you open it up bars of colour on the inlay covers. The disks have no fancy pictures on but are nice silver disks with Greatest I or II on them. As you put either of the disks on the menu has GREATEST and you can navigate through the letters ...
...comes from their first album Duran Duran This video is made very well and has some very good effects from this era and also you see them in the New Romantic stage of their career. This is one of my favourite songs on these disks. Girls on film. This is the long uncensored version that for obvious reasons when you watch it could not be put on the TV before the watershed, you will understand when watching it. This first goes slightly into setting ...

Review of Duran Duran - Greatest (DVD)

Its NOT THAT GOOD!!!

Advantages: Great DVD - Must own
Disadvantages: Sound out with video :((

THE BEST DURAN DURAN DVD EVER!!! This dvd has it all! If your a fan of any 80's music you must own this DVD! but there are some low pionts: The sound goes out with the video in 5.1 and DTS. The only good Special Feature is the Documentary what is about 60 mins long. The Documentary is good tells you ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW from when they was kids to now :) But if you like Rio, Hungry Like The Wolf, The Wild Boys, Girls on Film, Is There Something ...

Review of Duran Duran - Live From London (DVD)

Moulin rouge is a musical admirers dream

Advantages: Great chemistry between main characters ,feel good film .
Disadvantages: The singing throughout the film can get a bit tiresome

In my opinion you must see the film if you like musicals, otherwise you might find the singing a bit off putting .At times the siniging can seem a bit over the top but in general this is what makes the film interesting.It is worth watching just to see the on screen chemistry between Ewan Mcgregor and Nicole Kidman they are a great pairing and seem to have good on screen presence allowing you to follow the romantic tale which is played out . The ...
