David Gilmour: Remember That Night - Live from the Royal Albert Hall

Customer Reviews:

Brad Waters-King is Right!.......2007-09-16

I think Brad here is the only person who speaks the awful truth about this awful turn of events for lifelong fans of Pink Floyd. Probably the last "real" Floyd album was Wish You Were Here, back when they wrote and played together, back when there was only the occasional session musician brought in for something special. Animals was all-Roger, as was The Wall and especially Final Cut. All Roger, not really Floyd, and it sucked. But what was even worse was Dave hiring a couple of dozen session musicians to play on what he had the gall to call a "Pink Floyd" album. But the sheeple bought it, as well as the tour, the next "Floyd" album, and yet another tour with no less than 1,000 session players crowding the stage. Oh yes, the shadows of Rick Wright and Nick Mason were up there too, but both had backup musicians playing their every note. Jon Carin was all over the place with his keyboards and backup vocals, leaving real Floyd member Rick Wright to just noodle around on his piano. Heart-breaking. At least David Gilmour doesn't call this thing Floyd anymore, I'll give him that. We Floyd fans have Roger Waters to thank for the 25-minute reunion in 2005, for he talked David into doing it. I watched that, was happy about it, and was hopeful about maybe a one-off full-set real-Floyd show later on, but David said that playing again with Rogers was "like sleeping with an ex-wife". And that was that for Pink Floyd. Too bad. David was at is best with Roger writing the lyrics, and Roger was never better than when he had David creating the music to make those lyrics go. But Roger never went on to call himself "Pink Floyd" on tour like David did. Only the whole band should be called by the band name, not when you have one or two founding members hauling along a whole boatload of wannabee Pips to play all the music ( Eagles, Chicago, Wishbone Ash all come to mind as complete frauds nowadays ). So, mostly this tour and DVD of David's suffer from a lack of meaning. Everybody was there to hear David and Rick - along with their 1,001 Pips - play old Floyd songs. They applauded politely during the interminable "On an Island" half of the show. What we Floyd fans want is simple: a tour or one-off show with four guys on the stage, no backup people, no Pips, none of it. Just the four greatly successful members of the once-great band Pink Floyd.

Two Thumbs Up!!!.......2007-09-16

I saw the DVD release premier in Arlington, VA. WOW!!! David is as great as ever!! It was wonderful watching it on the theater screen. The whole showing was about two and a half hours long, but somehow the concert portion seemed kind of short. Or, maybe it was my perception - time flies when you are having a good time.

In the beginning, the band plays several songs from David's solo works with Crosby and Nash (I am not a big fan of david's solo music, so I don't know the titles... but they sounded great!). Then comes "Arnold Lane" featuring David Bowie, "High Hopes", "Shine On....", "Wish You Were Here", "Time", "Breath (reprise)", and then, the band ends the concert with amazing rendition of the masterpiece "Echoes". I got emotional from the beginning, but "Echoes" really did it - Wow! I don't know how to describe it... it is amazing! Richard Wright seems to have great fun with this piece incorporating more interesting variations on his keyboard. The pyrotechnique on stage is at it's peak during this piece, too.

Those of you who missed the concert like myself, get this DVD - it's a 'must' for any Pink Floyd/David Gilmour fan.

Awsome!.......2007-09-16

Well I just returned home from seeing the Northern States DVD showing at the IMAX theater and what an experience. There was even live linked Q&A via satellite with Gilmore and that put the icing on the cake. They even showed us the extras of the band behind the scenes while touring. We are true fans of Gilmore and what a great time they were all having doing this tour. I just ordered my copy of the DVD and can't wait to get it. There was a song that took us by surprise and really stood out and that was Echoes! What a treat that was. Enjoy all of you who purchase it! You wont be disapointed!

WILL Be Great.......2007-09-08

I know this will be a great DVD. I've seen an audience tape from one of the New York shows and IT was great. David is without a doubt one of the true rock pioneers and to the fans that keep making Roger/David comments, please remember when you listen to all of the great Floyd albums that the majority of the time DAVID played (uncredited) bass on the studio albums. Listen to the incredible fretless bass work on "Hey You" from "The Wall". That is not Roger Waters. Guitar fans may recognize the strap Dave is wearing on this tour. It belonged to Jimi Hendrix, and was a birthday present to Dave from his wife. Can't wait!

Tried to buy it based on great reviews.... but it isn't even out yet!.......2007-09-01

One of the reviewers wrote: "I love Roger Waters and David Gilmour for different reason but to come on here to Amazon and write reviews on anything involving David Gilmour in such a manner is insane"

Here's what's more insane: coming on here to amazon and writing reviews of a product that hasn't even been released. Come on people, wait until the DVD comes out, actually BUY it, actually WATCH it, THEN submit your impressions. Writing reviews based on how you hope it will turn out is just plain silly, not to mention misleading. I'm giving one star to even things out a bit.

Comprised of former members of Black Sabbath, Heaven & Hell grew out of a 2006 reunion of post-Ozzy frontman Ronnie James Dio, guitarist Tony Iommi, bassist Geezer Butler, and drummer Vinny Appice for the purpose of recording new tracks for a Sabbath compilation called The Dio Years. Heaven & Hell then toured, drawing deep from the Dio-era Sabbath catalogue. The masterful Heaven & Hell: Live from Radio City Music Hall is one result of that rekindled partnership, a two-hour, Gothic metal marathon filmed in 2007 before a thrilled New York City audience. Largely comprised of classic Sabbath material, the show unfolds with a deceptive ease. The seasoned bandmates play with graceful concentration even as they plunge into the maw of doomstruck power chords and grinding riffs, the wiry Dio stalking Heaven & Hell's swampy sound like some fusion of a crow and benevolent overlord. At times, it's impossible not to contradict oneself while trying to describe the group's intricate, paradoxical sound: "Children of the Sea," for instance, is somehow both a snaking and watery mystery. "E5150/After All (The Dead)" is equally epic and nonchalant. "I" is a show-stopping, nightmarish blues that leans toward the anthemic, while "Falling Off the Edge" is highlighted by a molten rhythm and Dio's taut vocal. This is a fine outing from a historic ensemble. --Tom Keogh

Pure class...Top notch in every way!.......2007-09-15

All pistons were firing the night they shot this show as the band showcases their great songs from the past and present. DIO sounded fabulous and I loved how they warmed up the audience with the moody and powerful After All from Dehumanizer. When DIO unleashes his howl and they rip into Mob Rules the crowd just goes nuts. And why not? This historic band looks and sounds terrific and their stage set and lighting are brilliantly matched to the music. The second half of the show is even better than the first and Iommi just shreds on guitar. Lonely is the Word and Falling Off the Edge of the World were awesome. Geezer and Vinnie are also in fine form and perfectly in synch. We even get treated to an old fashioned drum solo from Vinnie, who still has a few tricks up his sleeve. Hats off to the director and video editor for allowing us to experience this show without cutting the action so fast. Beatifully planned out and put together. I'm 41, but felt like a teenager again jumping up after every song making the sign and howling, "YEAH!"

THE BEST METAL.......2007-09-13

THIS CD IS THE BEST HEAVY METAL LIVE CD RELEASED IN YEARS BY ANY BAND
THE SOUND OF DIO,APPICE,IOMMI AND BUTLER IS VINTAGE HARD ROCK AT ITS FINEST. YOUNGINS TAKE NOT THIS IS HOW YOU DO IT AND DO IT WELL!

WOW! True Metal is Back!!.......2007-09-10

Are you a fan of true heavy metal? Are you a fan of Black Sabbath with the great singer frontman Ronnie James Dio? If you are, buy this historic DVD. THis was the Dio led Sabbath's first show in the USA in 15 years. It was as if they never had separated. Dio's voice at 65+ is still one of the best rock and roll and heavy metal have ever heard. He can still hit the notes,high, low and menacing. This DVD is not only entertaining, but historic. We may never see this powerful lineup again on stage after this current Heaven and Hell tour. My suggestion is buy this DVD and if you get a chance to see them, DO IT!

Butler's bass work is fantastic, Appice is a master on the drums, and Iommi is a true metal god on the guitar. He is the master of heavy metal riffs. From the menacing and plodding After All ( The Dead) to the last track, the great Neon Knights, his talent shows through. One thing I enjoyed was that Dio is a true gentleman, unlike many modern metal singers,he shakes hands with the crowd, introduces the tracks, and gives his thanks and appreciation to the crowd. He related in the "Extras" section of the DVD that the fans are everything, and his and the rest of Sabbath's performance show it. Overall a great DVD.

They hold the key to the gates of hell.......2007-09-04

Saw Heaven & Hell "Live" at the Challenge Stadium in Perth, Australia on the 2nd of August. Their performance were brilliant and Dio's singing is worth the trip to hell. I am buying this DVD to re-live that moment in time. Give me Sabbath with Dio anytime.

YAH KNOW, IT'S NOT BAD AT ALL.......2007-09-03

I've been of the opinion (and many will disagree with me and try to run me off the planet) but Black Sabbath has always been about Ozzy. Until he was forced out of the band, Ozzy was the show. Sure, there were three guys behind him, but everyone watched Ozzy. So, when Ozzy left Black Sabbath, Iommi, Butler, and Ward knew they needed a frontman who was as engaging a presence as Ozzy. I guess they must have thanked their lucky stars when Ronnie James Dio got the boot from Rainbow. Dio is a dream of a frontman. With a powerful voice and a flare for the dramatic, Dio redefined that Black Sabbath and their music. However, when Dio sang the old Black Sabbath standards, they just didn't sound right. Those songs were Ozzy's and he owned them. By the same token, there's no way Ozzy could sing anything from the Heaven and Hell/Mob Rules era because Dio owns those songs in every respect. It was fitting that when this lineup regrouped as "Heaven and Hell", it was only the songs that had Dio's stamp on them that were played. This performance, like the one I saw, is pure power. I was skeptical about seeing another reunion of a bunch of guys cashing in on their former glory. I was wrong -- oh so wrong. From the opening shot of "The Mob Rules", Dio rips through these songs with Herculian strength. He is a passionate and energic performer with few rivals. As for Iommi, Butler, and the wildly under-rated Vinnie Appice, they deliver strong workmanlike performances that never fail to please.

It was good, but this 12 to 22 chapters lost the music part of it. Before you would but able to play it on your cd player and really enjoy it. Now it looks like he made this just for dvd. It's not the same as the 1st 1 to 12 chapters and not better either. I'm only looking forward to seeing the next chapters in order to see if he went back to the old way.

R. Kelly Proves He's At The Top Of His Game.......2007-09-07

Forget what you heard or may want to believe about R. Kelly, as a musical artist, the man is at the top of his game. With this dvd, R. Kelly proves he knows how to tell a good story just as good as he can add a hook to a song and make it a hit. The question is with all the baby making music that he writes, where R. can push the envelope, who knew he had a sense of humor. I think the LL Fool J was the top of his list on this one for comments. My only question is how long do we have to wait to find out about the package? If you haven't ordered this dvd, go ahead and do it. It's worth it.

Description

U2's PopMart Live from Mexico City is released on DVD for the first time on September 18th in two formats, a Special Limited Edition 2-DVD Deluxe Packaging version and a single disc, Standard version. Described as a sci-fi disco supermarket, the PopMart Tour opened in its "spiritual home", Las Vegas on April 25, 1997. All trash and kitsch, PopMart introduced a giant mirrorball lemon, a 100 foot cocktail stick - complete with olive, and the works of Lichtenstein, Warhol and Haring, to a live rock audience: a production experience never quite seen before. Filmed at the Foro Sol Autodromo in Mexico City on December 3, 1997, PopMart Live from Mexico City was directed by David Mallet and first released on video the following year. Both the video and audio have been digitally remastered and the DVD includes a brand new 5.1 surround mix in DTS and Dolby Digital of the concert. The single disc, Standard version will contain only the concert material and the Special Limited Edition 2-DVD version will feature on the 2nd bonus disc, nine previously unreleased live audio and video tracks, four documentaries, a PopMart tour visuals montage, and DVD-ROM extras.

A Beautiful Lemon (YUM!).......2007-09-14

The huge screen behind them with the racing comic book imagery gives me a headache after watching more than two songs, but an extraordinary tour from an extradinary band. You know you're a great rock band when what you considered your worst failures are still spectacularly awesome and loved by millions! Rock on, boys!

I was in this concert.......2007-09-13

I was in this concert, I was only 20 years old and I remember that in many radio segments saids that U2 didn't going to play that day because they had a sereius problem one day before with the son of the president of Mexico, but they didn't cancel the concert and played one of the best concert on they history.

This DVD really doesn't have price

U2 Live at their Best.......2007-09-12

Great show live. Any U2 show live is a great one but don't miss this. This album and tour was amazing. Listen to PLEASE and it is hauntingly reminiscent of 9-11's tragic events. The songs are more serious than the production with a huge arch, mirrorball lemon, the tinyt nun that has since disappeared, towering screens, an olive....Hard to beleive this all took place 10 years ago. Nice to re-live a concert that truly rocked my world. No disappointments here.

A Must-Have for U2 Fans.......2007-09-01

There are so many reasons to recommend this--I can't believe it's finally on DVD!

The Pop Mart tour and album was incorrectly derided by some critics--and even the band apparently--as a failed experiment. Wrong. That album was some of their coolest music ever, and the tour, while it started rough, by the time of this show is just monster (no pun intended). This BTW was the largest video screen every constructed; after the tour it was sold off in pieces to sports stadiums and the like.

Granted, it you don't like the "ironic" U2 and songs like "Discoteque" you'll probably hate the "lemon" part which is totally Spinal Tap (although that was sort of the point though). Too bad, because right after that song they do THE definitive version of "If You Wear That Velvet Dress," which far surpasses the recorded version.

The show opens with a seamless segue from "Pop Music" on the P.A. into "Mofo." "Mofo" was an interesting, if not fully realized track from the album but here it absolutely kills in a different arrangement. Just like "Elevation" live blows away the recorded version, so it goes with "Mofo."

The sound's great, the band's tight, the crowd is absolutely bonkers. For videos I rank it up there with Live from Sydney (Zoo TV) as their best.

Sure by this point, after Zoo TV, U2 fans had pretty much had enough of the "irony" phase and thankfully they moved on.

LOVE FOR U2.......2007-08-24

THIS CONCERT HAS BEEN ONE OF THE GREATEST PRODUCTIONS EVER...
A MUST FOR EVERY U2 FAN AND FOR ANY FAN OF REAL MUSIC!!

Amazing Tribute To An Amazing Musician.......2007-09-09
What can I say about one of the most amazing musicians and inventors to ever live. I am glad to say he still lives and plays with still amazing skill at 94 years old to sold out crowds in New York city. This video does such a wonderful job honoring a man that was driven to create a better way to record and improve the guitar so much so that Gibson named a model after him when he redesigned it. It also shows his beautiful wife Mary Ford and her amazing voice and she and Les literaly ruled the music scene at that time. Buy this ideo and cherish it you will play it again and again.
Absolutely Sensational........2007-09-05
The DVD covers superbly the legend of Les Paul, from the legendary musician who has undoubtedly touched and affected us all with his inventions. Without Les Paul there life would be pretty dull. I've been honored to meet Les at the Iridium in 2005. This was one of the greatest moments in my life which I will forever cherish. Get the DVD.
He's not taxidermized, but he's still electrifying........2007-09-03
After that ridiculous tribute that seemed more like a "cover-up"--"American Made/ World Played"--I was beginning to suspect the 90-year-old (now 92) legend was all illusion, more Wizard of Oz than Wizard of Waukesha. Rest assured that Les is no, not yet at least, mere icon or totem. Far from a barely preserved specimen wheeled out on stage in a rocker, he maintains his balance on a precarious stool and serves as ringmaster for the Monday night festivities at the Iridium. Of course, he's surrounded by and partly carried by some ace New York musicians, who enable Les to bask, deservedly, in the spotlight and evade anything resembling breakneck virtuosity on the instrument.

This is a five-star DVD for the 90-minute PBS history alone--OR for the 90 minutes worth of extras, such as the Iridium set. Add the two together, factor in the bargain price, and this disc is nothing less than 180 minutes of indispensable, must viewing. The audio fidelity and production values are first rate, whether the music is vintage Lester or his more recent musical activities which, for the most part, have gone unrecorded for the past 30 years. The extras include "honest" musical exchanges with Keith Richards and a rare opportunity to see and hear a latter-day Kay Starr, no worse for wear than Les, singing "Exactly Like You." Then there's Merle Haggard and Les doing "Pennies from Heaven," both of them practically honoring the tune's simple melody. And a delightful duet on "Avalon" with Chet Atkins circa 1990 (The secret's out. The supposedly "intuitive" musician Les knows keys! Rather than holding down one finger to signal one flat, he mouths "F" to the piano player for his solo turn).

One can only hope that some of the guitarists on the "American Made/World Played" CD will discover this DVD and subsequently go to some of the pre-1948 Les Paul recordings. He may not have been a harmonic-melodic genius, but he was a superb technician and tasteful musician in the Django tradition. His early trio recordings are 2-3 minute masterpieces, and as the featured jazz guitarist to appear at the first Jazz at the Philharmonic in 1944, he and fellow headliner Nat King Cole managed to bring down the house, whether on up-tempo blues or the challenging but always welcome (in fact, the most-recorded pop standard of all time) "Body and Soul."
God Bless the makers of this DVD! (and Les).......2007-08-29
Maybe it goes without saying...but just in case it doesn't, ANYONE who is reading this either knows enough about who Les Paul is, and needs to buy this DVD; or you don't...and need to buy this DVD! Obviously done by people who know and respect the living legend, this DVD is a great overview of the Man; a loving tribute while he is still with us. Juxtaposing current footage (YES he still performs), with some heritage showing why he is revered as the inventor of modern recording techniques, this DVD is the bargain of the year for musicians, and lovers of music alike. Sure, as a guitar player/collector I wish they'd focused a bit more on the his involvement with the development of the Gibson Les Paul model that I cherish so much. But anyone who has been an icon for over half a century needs more than a 90 min DVD to cover even the basics. And I also realize that for most viewers, the history of why and how someone could so influence music, that even after 50, 60, 70+ years we're only still only fine tuning his ideas and designs might seem a bit too...geeky (if that's a word?). In many ways he's the Edison of modern music, and EVERYONE who has read this review to this point should just spend the $15 or Les this DVD costs and thank me later... God Bless Les!

Energy plus!!.......2007-09-06
I've always enjoyed Springsteen's music, especially live (he gives great concert), however...I had not heard of this DVD when I bought it. Prepare to be pleasantly surprised. A lot of traditional folk songs and some newer pieces done with more energy and original idea than I thought possible. The sessions band is as tight and talented a group as you're likely to hear.
You'll be smiling and dancing in front of your screen and the better your sound system, the better the result. Very well produced and outstanding audio quality. Don't miss this one!
Musical Genius.......2007-09-03
I've never enjoyed a conert DVD so much. Springsteen explores several genres with passion and style. Most especially, he drags long-dead-and-forgotten folk music into the 21st century. The Sessions band is absolutely the best gathering of wonderful musicians ever for a concert. And the whole experience is heightened by their obvious respect for each other, their music and the audience. The Springsteen/audience interactions are part of the fun of this DVD.
American music at its best.......2007-08-20
this is an intense fun concert interpreting great american roots music with plenty of enthusiasm, even though patti scialfi tries to hog too much air time, it does nothing to spoil the show. Greg Liszt was impressive with the banjo. Erie Canal is my favorite song.

Having missed seeing Bruce in Verona last year because of an early flight out of Venice the next day and a lousy Italian train service - this DVD was a highlight.
The love of life and music was clearly evident in this wonderful gig in Dublin and the foot stomping soul of the band was evident in every track. If you don't buy another DVD all year, splash out, enjoy and play it loud. Bruce living life to the full!

Bruce, The Bandleader.......2007-08-13
I've been a longtime fan of Mr. Springsteen's music - I first saw him at a college gym in South Philly in Feb of 74. I had just gotten my driver's license and loved his first two albums, so me and my friends went to the show. I came away a lifelong convert. Little did I know I'd still be touting my devotion and exuberance to his music 33 years later... unimaginable.

I bought the studio version, The Seeger Sessions, so I felt this would be redundant, but it's anything but. This concert and collection epitomizes an incredibly talented committed artist, who's unafraid to take chances. It's the culmination of a year of touring and evolving with this smokin' band and this sizzling big sound. Some might say what's risky about singing old folk tunes, but just think about what a flop it could have been! Instead, we have an eyewitness view of an artist who can reinvent and passionately perform songs that have long been forgotten, in an incredibly exciting way. Watching Bruce lead this collection of musicians with arrangements from the heart is truly a joy to behold. It's obvious he's having a helluva lot of fun, and we get to go along for the ride! He mixes a number of his own songs in, also rewritten and presented in a new way, only reinforcing that Bruce is of the same cloth as Woody Guthrie, Pete Seeger, and other legends of American music. He continues to outdo himself with each album and this is no exception. I'm so glad I got my copy.

Thanks Bruce! You're the best!

A Christmas Celebration

Celtic Woman

ASIN: B000LC4CVA
Release Date: 2007-01-30

Amazon.com
Celtic Woman, the PBS sensation, returns for 2007 in A New Journey: Live at Slane Castle, Ireland. Most of the elements return as well: vocalists Chloe, Meav, Lisa, and Orla; fiery fiddler Mairead; music director David Downes; chorus and orchestra; and the New Age-y Celtic and traditional music. New for this show is New Zealand vocalist Hayley Westenra, a picturesque outdoor location, and an almost entirely new song list. Chloe sings "The Prayer" (made famous by Josh Groban) and "Panis Angelicus"; Lisa covers "Caledonia," "The Blessing," and "The Voice"; Orla sings "Newgrange" and accompanies herself on harp for "Carrickfergus"; Meav sings "Dulaman"; Mairead plays "Granuaile's Dance" and "Shenandoah: The Pacific Slope"; and Hayley sings "Scarborough Fair" by herself and duets with Mairead (Handel's "Lascia Ch'io Pianga") and Meav ("The Last Rose of Summer"). Then of course the group performs together ("The Sky and the Dawn and the Sun," "Over the Rainbow," "Beyond the Sea," "At the Ceili," "Sing Out!", "Spanish Lady," "Mo Ghile Mear"). Encore performances from the original show are Enya's "Orinoco Flow," "Danny Boy," "Somewhere," and "You Raise Me Up." Hayley proves to be an excellent fit among the beautiful voices, and Lisa seems to emerge as the talent most deserving of attention, but overall the show lacks some of the fresh sparkle of the original. The song list isn't quite as strong, and some of the "primp and pose" choreography is just silly. But Celtic Woman is never less than charming, and at its best can be quite stirring. --David Horiuchi

Music, sound, live production 5 stars / DVD production 3 stars.......2007-09-13
If you simply like the music of Celtic Woman, then this DVD is 5 stars hands down. The music is beautiful, and the production is incredible.

If you are a sound or production tech, I highly recommend watching this just for the quality of the recording, micing, and staging. I personally would have EQed the violin a little differently, but everything else was a wonderful natural sound.

The only reason I gave it 4 stars is because the sound was a few microseconds off from the video. Hardly noticeable to the average viewer, but extremely annoying to those of us who do notice. Also, there are no subtitles, but it has a subtitle track. The subtitle tract doesn't work, but it is there.

I can just imagine the irritation of those who sweated and agonized over making this such a wonderful presentation only to have the DVD processing company mess up the sound sync, and the subtitles.

Perhaps they fixed these flaws in later releases of the DVD, but I've verified that the version I have is due to a production problem. It isn't due to a flawed disk, or DVD player.
Gary the Celtic Music Lover.......2007-09-13
This program was one of the finest examples of the wonderful sounding music to come out of the Irish Countryside. These ladies are some of the best talented in the world. Just to listen and to see their action while preforming is a indication of their love of the country and the music.
Celtic Woman.......2007-09-05
I love Celtic Women music! You can't go wrong with any of them. I highly recommend this one along with all the others I have purchased! If you haven't heard them, you have really missed a wonderful experience!

We love the CD and the DVD we got .....we watch it regularly and we listen to the CD regularly... Thanks Rosie Brunker
Great Concert !!!.......2007-09-01
I have seen this concert on PBS 2 times. I loved it. So today I am buying the DVD and CD combo. Now I can watch it all the time. I love listening to Haley Westerna sing. She is my favorite. Also I like Chloe, singing The Prayer. The background scenes of the Slane Castle in Ireland are awsome. My husband and I would like to go Ireland to see the castles someday.

Anyone buying this DVD will not be disappointed.

Customer Reviews:

WOW! Can't wait for this one!.......2007-09-15
I've been waiting to see these shows for, well, forever! Up until now the only way to see these performances was on bootleg video (although I believe the CMT Network ran some of these at one time)and YouTube. This is some amazing music from a man who simply loved playing good music. And good musicians, young and old, black and white. It's a shame it lasted barely 2 years. But it's a blessing that someone had the smarts to preserve these wonderful shows. This will be worth it for the Clapton and Dylan footage. There is precious little performance footage of his tenure with Derek and the Dominos, and here he really shines. You can tell by his face how amazed he is to be onstage jamming with both Cash and Carl Perkins. I've never seen Dylan's performance but this was (arguably) his first ever live tv performance, he'd been out of the spotlight since his 1966 motorcycle accident and gone back to his folky roots while the rest of the world turned up the volume. So this is prime Dylan with one of his idols. As well as seeing CCR at their peak. The Neil Young footage can also be seen on the special edition of his "Live at Massey Hall" CD. Can't wait!
Great collection of hippie-era country and pop.......2007-09-09
This two-disc set collects highlights of Johnny Cash's short-lived musical variety show, which aired on network TV between 1969-71. At the peak of the hippies-vs.-straights culture clash, Cash boldly invited guests from across the American musical spectrum -- longhairs, country traditionalists, Nashville insiders, jazz musician, rock stars, pop tunesmiths and folkies. The guest list is truly astonishing, given the tensions of the times. Bob Dylan -- one of Cash's favorite artists -- was on the first show in '69, tipping viewers off that this wasn't gonna be your typical country TV show. Appearances by Neil Young, Eric Clapton, Joni Mitchell, Linda Ronstadt, Stevie Wonder and John Fogerty followed, as well as master entertainers such as Louis Armstrong and Ray Charles. And of course, there was the cream of the country crop -- Waylon Jennings, Ray Price, Marty Robbins, George Jones, Loretta Lynn and Johnny's crew from his road show -- June Carter Cash & the Carter Family, the Statler Brothers, Carl Perkins and others. In the wings were some amazing sidemen: keep an eye out for Norman Blake plucking acoustic guitar, as well as the wealth of up-and-coming talent that Cash went out of his way to promote (notably Kris Kristofferson, who reminisces about the old shows in interview segments added in this DVD set...)

This is a great collection, generously programmed (the set list on the Menu goes on for page after page...) and many of the performances are pure gold (George Jones is awesome!) Some fans will complain that they'd rather see the original shows as broadcast at the time, and while I agree that that would be fun, I don't see any reason to give anything but praise to this set. The documentary format, with various Cash crew and compatriots interviewed and introducing different segments, is kinda cool, and for the most part they know when to get out of the way and let the music play. It's a pity they didn't shoot the whole TV show on film -- some of the video stock gets kinda flared out (the Dylan clips, in particular) but, hey -- that's history for you. Personally, I'm glad to see whatever stuff like this there is -- it's a great look back at an interesting cultural moment, when mainstream country was still pretty traditional, although the walls were starting to fall and new influences were coming into play. Cash fans and country fans alike will want to check this one out! (DJ Joe Sixpack)
Here We Go Again.......2007-08-23
I'm so tired of these "Best Of" compilations. I've been waiting almost 40 years to see these shows and, once again, they get chopped up. Why can't somebody (finally) get it right and issue complete variety series in there entirety? Geez, it only lasted two years! You could probably fit every episode in one or two boxed sets with double-sided DVDs, which so many companies do nowadays. Instead, we get all complete seasons of Friends when all one needs to do is turn on the TV at any given time of the day and see the same episodes in syndication - as bad as seeing I Love Lucy continuously until we have the complete dialogs memorized! Shame on you Columbia/Legacy for doing this. It's like a teaser of something we'll never have. This may be the "best" for you but not for me and, therefore, I will not be purchasing it.

OUTSTANDING TELEVISION!.......2007-08-08
I would highly recommend this DVD to anyone who just appreciates good music. I caught a sneak preview of this amazing disc on my local PBS station in August of 2007, and it was one of the greatest things I had seen on television in a long time. Johnny Cash's prime time televion show aired from 1969 - 1971, and featured both prominent rock and country artists of the day. Groundbreaking television for sure, considering at the time that most rock artists were associated with the peace, drugs, free love and the anti-war movement by a conservative segment of American society, just when the war was really starting to sour. Filmed live at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, Tennessee (with a few exceptions), in front of a mostly Southern country music audience, all the artists seemed to be warmly embraced by the crowd, with Johnny Cash's blessing and support. The first hour consisted of rock and popular music performers that Johnny Cash was an admirer or fan of, including Bob Dylan, Joni Mitchell, James Taylor, Neil Young, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Neil Diamond, Carl Perkins, and Jerry Lee Lewis. The highlight was Derek and the Dominoes featuring Eric Clapton, and following their performance none other than Carl Perkins and Johnny Cash himself joined Derek and the Dominoes onstage for a raucous version of Perkins' Matchbox. Simply amazing.
The second half was Johnny himself performing solo, with his wife June Carter Cash, and with the Tennessee Three. Prominent country artists also featured were George Jones, Tammy Wynette, a young, short-haired and beardless Hank Williams Jr., young Waylon Jennings, Loretta Lynn, Merle Haggard, and Charley Pride (possibly the only black country artist ever). These are only the performances shown on the PBS special preview. There were literally hundreds of great performances on this show over its two year run. There's no lip synching nonsense here. Every artist actually performing and singing live. This is priceless television and I would highly recommend it to anyone who is a fan of any of the artists I mentioned. You will not be disappointed. It won't be available until September of 2007, and I will most definitely be purchasing it.

Stunning performance and "how does he do that".......2007-08-25
While I am a casual fan of DMB, I have always enjoyed his work with Tim Reynolds.
This DVD is absolutley one of the best purchases I have ever made. The performances are stunning, the musical connection between Reynolds and Mathews is unbelievable and borders on clairvoyant. The song selection and production are among the best of any concert DVD I have purchased and as I watch I am constantly saying "how does he do that" about Reynolds guitar prowess.
Possibly the most moving..........2007-08-22
This concert is outstanding. The quality is amazing. This DVD has the BEST sound quality of any previous release. The camera work is great. I have been a huge fan of the Dave Matthews Band since I heard "What Would You Say" on the radio back in the early 90s. I thought Live at Luther College was wonderful, but Live at Radio City Music Hall shines in many many ways.

The sound is really like being there. Even the video quality is extremely clear. The track listing is nearly perfect for a newer release. Not too much old stuff, not too much of the crappy stuff, and some excellent new material. I have to say how wonderful it is to witness Tim Reynolds play the guitar. I've only imagined it since their last release in the late 90s. To not only hear him, but see him play will leave you with your mouth open.

To hear Dave tell the stories he has to tell is a real treat. I always enjoy his ramblings, because sometimes, even if they seem like they aren't going anywhere, they always end up of some importance to the next song. The story about "The Bushmen" is entertaining and interesting as he goes into Eh Hee. Also the performance of Crush could be the most moving version I've ever heard.

Overall, I this should be on the top of any fan's list of what to buy. If you're choosey about buying the many live discs the group puts out, buy this one without second thought.
Bummer vibes, too much talking, but Great Music .......2007-08-16
When I listen to music I want to be left feeing high, this dvd was a tad depressing ...Musically, it is great, Reynolds is a wizard on the guitar and the chemistry is awesome. I just don't wanna hear Dave babbling on about mistreated soldiers, blah, blah, blah...the dvd comes with the story in print, which *should* be read and brought to people's attention, just not during what should be an uplifting experience, who wants to hear depressing stories @ a concert, it left me feeling like i had just watched a benefit show for wounded vets....In other words, don't watch the dvd on any type of mind altering substances, or you may have a bad trip....I sure hope they edited all of Dave's banter out of the cd, especially the wounded soldier rap....Just shut up and Play Music.
Magical.......2007-08-16
This DVD is amazing. Dave is such a great artist and Tim backs him up very well.
I am hooked!.......2007-08-16
This is my first experience with a Dave and Tim show. I must say, it is nothing short of spectacular. There is a chemistry between them that is incredible. I think this is the best I've ever seen and heard Dave. I'm just sad that I wasn't there that night.

KISS have always had an approach to their fans that on the one hand could be seen as ridiculously crass and on the other as truly generous. And this release, with its three expertly mastered and crammed DVDs--issued with three separate bonus discs--could easily support either view. The second installment in KISS's Kissology DVD series will sort out the casual fans from the true members of the KISS Army. The material included here, after all, begins in 1978, when the band released four separate solo albums at once and their massive popularity began to wane. It continues on through the controversial makeup-free period and ends in '91, as KISS struggled to cope with the ascendancy of grunge over the hair metal style they'd experienced a second boom with. The concert films are pretty great, but the full-length Tom Snyder Tomorrow show appearance is flat-out brilliant, as is their live performance on the short-lived sketch comedy show Fridays. And the highlight of the set has to be the "European theatrical version" of their made-for-TV film KISS Meets the Phantom of the Park. All those who've suffered through poorly degenerated video bootlegs will glory at this wonderfully restored piece of rock and roll camp. --Mike McGonigal
Customer Reviews:

Crazy Life with KISS.......2007-09-15
Hail to the gods of R'R from Germany. Waiting for decades finally our prayers have been heard. Kissology is simply larger than life it is a shrine to get down on your knees.

Volume 1 was great and Volume 2 is even greater with so many ever wanted clips and don't forget to mention the legendary Phantom project. Remember watching in the 70's with my father in a small movie seems like a timewarp back to yesterday. Still missing some more from the Elder Time.

Kind regards and waiting to see you finally in Europe.
Still Rockin'..........2007-09-13
Very good follow up to last year's first set of Kisstory. Worth owning. Of course, if you have the first Kissology, this goes without saying. One thing, however, I would have liked to see more of is 1978. That was the year KISS absolutely ruled the world, yet the time they give it in the second set is minimal. Still, informatative, flashy, loud and all things KISS are on this second set. God bless Eric Carr. Can't wait til the third one...
An Excellent Sequel !.......2007-09-12
First let me start by saying I attended my first KISS concert in 1975 at the age of fifteen. This is an important sidebar to this review. If you are an older KISS fan and was skeptical of a review of the "No Make Up" years, relax. The footage on this collection is priceless. The concert footage is great considering the amount of time that has passed. There are way too many highlights to mention them all but the 1990 concert really stands out amongst the rest. On both of the Kissology collections I am always excited to listen to the audio commentary tracks. They are a virtual rock n roll kisstory lesson! My final thoughts are about the late Eric Carr. This DVD is a loving tribute to a very underated talent. In retrospect the non-make up years are entertaining, informative and in the case of "Attack of the Phantom" pure fun! I highly recommend this to all KISS fans both young and old.
Kiss: Kissology Volume II 1978-1991.......2007-09-11
I will try and give a different perspective of why this DVD is just solid gold instead of a blow by blow account that the other reviewers have given (which aren't bad by the way).

I own both vol 1 and 2 of the kissology series and I must say that when you watch them both you get a really clear perspective of the events that launched the band to super stardom, the deterioration of the original line up, and finally their rebirth in the non make up era. No other band in history had such an intense and complex history as do Kiss.

Vol 1 was a great snap shot of key performances that lead to the bands ultimate success. Vol 2 was equally as great if not better. The largo gig which was presented as one of the three optional bonus gigs in the package clearly displayed where the band was at in 1979 distracted and going through the motions. The Tom Snyder's interview really illustrated how dysfunctional the band members were becoming which finally led to the departure of Peter Criss.

The unmasked gig in Sydney Australia was very tight and the band seemed more like a solid unit with the addition of Eric Carr on drums. I was fortunate enough (and old enough) to go to the Melbourne gig of this tour and I must say that this concert had the same level of intensity as I remembered it all these years later, all the stuff from the elder and creatures of the night were just great. I wasn't fortunate enough to have any of this stuff in bootleg form so this box set had nothing but new material for me. I found the years between love gun through to creatures of the night to be the most fascinating era of the bands history, both musically and historically.

The non make up years were good and the musicians such as Vinnie Vincent and Bruce Kulick were great as you will see in some of there performances, but the band was going through an identity crisis and failed to deliver anything that was truly memorable, still they managed to pull off some good shows and is well presented in this video.

This box set is a testament to the bands long and Controversial history as you will clearly see neither one of the band members were ready to deal with the level of success kiss were able to achieve in such a short space of time, but were experienced enough to pick themselves back up with a new image and musical style and still sell platinum albums and fill arenas. now that saying something......................................

PHANTOM OF THE PARK/ ATTACK OF THE PHANTOM.......2007-09-08
HEY! KEEP YOUR VHS OR DVDR BOOTLEG OF THE US PRINT OF "KISS MEETS THE PHANTOM OF THE PARK". THIS EURO THEATRICAL VERSION "ATTACK OF THE PHANTOMS" IS A TOTALLY DIFFERENT CUT THAN THE US VERSION. DIFFERENT SCENES, EDITED & UNEDITED DIALOG, DIFFERENT MUSIC, ETC. I WAS REALLY ANGRY THAT THEY CUT OUT ALMOST ALL OF ACE FREHLEY'S "ECK!" RESPONSES, AND THE CLASSIC POOLSIDE CHATTER!. ANYWAY, I'M NOT A KISS FANATIC, BUT I DO THINK THIS IS ONE OF THE GREATEST ROCK AND ROLL MOVIES EVER MADE. OH YEAH - THE PICTURE AND AUDIO ARE EXCELLENT TOO. THE REST OF THE DVD'S ARE COOL, BUT WOULD HAVE LIKED TO SEE MORE PROMO / INTERVIEWS OF THE '79 - '82 PERIOD - ESPECIALLY "THE ELDER". ALL HAIL ACE FREHLEY.
