DVD Concert Reviews_6 "KISS Symphony The DVD"
August 22, 2006
KISS and the Melborne Symphony Orchestra. An unlikely pairing to be sure. This union produces a very powerfull sound. Filling up the Telstra Auditorium in front of 35 thousand screaming KISS Army troops. Classic KISS songs get an extra boost by the 60 piece orchestra. 2-DVD set includes documentary, KISS performances with and without the symphony. Light those lighters and get ready because....YOU WANTED THE BEST AND YOU GOT IT!!
DVD Concert Reviews_5 "The Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus"
May 27, 2006
The Rolling Stones host a Rock and Roll Circus with some of the biggest stars in "swingin" 1968 London. The Who steal the show but such legends perform as John Lennon, Eric Clapton, Jethro Tull and others. The show was taped over two days for British television but never was aired. Now it is preserved, in all it's glory, on DVD. The Rolling Stones perform 6 classics. A must for any collection.
DVD Concert Reviews_4 "Journey Live In Houston 1981 Escape Tour"
April 08, 2006
Bay Area rockers Journey perform in Houston in this long-awaited release of a 1981 concert that originally aired on MTV. Journey caught in the act as they tour behind their biggest selling album. The Bay Area band is launched into the big leagues with million selling hits "Open Arms", "Don't Stop Believin'" and "Who's Cryin' Now" from the Escape album. Journey is experiencing the heights of popularity. From the soulful vocals of Steve Perry to the searing guitar of Neal Schon, this DVD is a precious record of the 1981 Escape Tour and a band doing everything right.
DVD Concert Reviews_3 "Elvis: That's the Way It Is" Elvis Presley
March 22nd, 2006
Elvis Presley's triumphant return to live performances after 10 years of making movies are beautifully captured on this DVD. Originally released in 1970 as a theatrical movie, this movie has always been a favorite of Elvis fans. This DVD is a re-editing of that movie. The problem with the original was the choice by the director to include a lot of the "fandamonium" surrounding Elvis. This DVD eliminates the fluff and concentrates on the man and his music. Simply put...this is Elvis at his best!
DVD Concert Reviews_2 "S & M" Metallica with the SF Symphony
March 2nd, 2006
Metallica's "S & M." Collaboration of rock's premier heavy metal band with the San Francisco Symphony under the direction of Maestro Michael Kamen. The already heavy, melodic music that defines Metallica gets an additional punch by the added dimension of an 81 piece orchestra. As James Hetfield asks the crowd "Have you heard the one about the heavy metal band that played with the symphony??" This is no joke and it will blow you away.
