Music DVDs (2 Viewers)

I was in virgin in Blaggardstown a few weeks ago and was astounded by the amount of music DVDs. Seems everyone has one. I have a few but what are good/bad.
I have:

Metallica, some kind of monster : brilliant 4/5

AC/DC, Family Jewels : worth it for the Bon stuff but overall feels like a bit of a rip off. 2/5

They Might Be Giants, Gigantic : excellent documentary that tells their story from the early days right up to the release of Mink Car (a live gig in Tower records New York at midnight 11 sept 2001 - makes no comment on 9/11, which is deadly). Packed with cool extra footage and commentry. 5/5

I think he points at a section of the waveform of his bass drum he has just recorded in ProTools and says "That kick drum there is the one that gets my dick hard!"

Also, the best quote ever is from Dave Mustaine talking about Lars

"I miss my little Danish friend"

The Best of The Old Grey Whistle Test, I think it's part 1, is magic. Watching John Martyn perform 'MayYou Never' on that is one of the more precious and lovely things I can think of to enjoy in life.
Also Bill Withers sweating like a loon but sounding like the King Of All That Is Cool.

Best Dave Mustaine quote - "I AM THE RIFFMASTER!"

Pavement one is great
also
Wire On The Box: get a live CD too
Best of Bowie is worth getting if you see it for €12 or so

New Order 316 - New York 81, easily my most watched music DVD.

what about dvds that arent just a collection of Videos or just a live gig.

hmmm... The Return of Spinal Tap - live gig / interviews / hilarity - well the first 10 minutes are comedy gold anyway.

 

[krystal]

well there's the End Of The Century, which I can't comment on as it languishes in my DVD backlog, but it looks good

BBC4 is good for taping those documentary types; Gram Parsons, The Fall, Ivor Cutler etc

"Fearless Freaks", the Flaming Lips documentary, is awesome. I don't think it's been released yet, but i got a sneak preview at a friend of mine's who is a VP at HMV. It's a wonder those cats made it out of their adolescence alive.

Just watched "End of the Century" - VG.

"Last Waltz" is always a favourite. As are "The Filth and the Fury" and the Pavement double-disc one ("Slow Century?")

Must borrow "Some Kind of Monster" off the krabby one - i hear the additional footage is golden.

 

[THRILLHO]

I am completely in love with Talking Heads' Stop Making Sense DVD. The amount of energy being thrown about by the gangly, nerdy David Byrne is hypnotic. And the clothes are deadly too.

The Hellacopters-Goodnight Cleveland,I think its called, is amazing.Follows them on tour and there are bits of them jamming stooges and mc5 songs.Best music dvd I own.Seen a bootleg of the MC5 dvd the other night and thats like a documentry with cool live footage and stuff.Its only wizard.|..|

The Weezer one is ok I didnt think it was amazing.Same with the Foo Fighters one which was just a collection of concerts.

Theres also a T.V. eye rerelease on dvd of the video with early qotsa footage and high on fire etc.Also great

Well spotted Lord Damian.

My ex loved this one to bits and I learned it offa him and I too grew to love it. Specially where Neil Youngs got all coke stuck to his nostril and Emmylou Harris sounds just so incredible. Added super cool factor of being Scorcese's baby.

apparently, it cost as much as the entire rest of the movie for Scorsese to rotoscope that blow from Neil's nostrils...
fucking deadly movie - Ronnie Hawkins jamming with his boys was spot on, and Dr.John's bit was amazing as well. even fucking Neil Diamond wasn't horrendous. and Van the Man and his sparkly jumpsuit. words can't express my love for that sequence. the only thing that did my head in was Robbie Robertson's inflated sense of self-importance. if i was Levon that dick wouldn't have made it outta the sixtie's alive.

 

[GARYXKNIFEDX]

The MC5 one " a true testimonial" if you can find a bootleg of it is amazing for a documantary one. As is the Iron Maiden one. For gigs ,Minor Threat,Melvins,Led Zep all rule.

That whole blues series of DVDs is excellent, especially the one on the piano blues. The one with chuck d has it's moments too, just a pity leonard chess is such a dick. Tonight i'm supposed to be getting that film about the blues/soul backing band that never got the credit they deserved or something. Looks ace!
