Gynecologic Movie Reviews

I love the song Not too young not too old. But the rest of the music is blah.

this DVD is not as good as it sounds, the actual concert part is stupid, the only cool thing about this is when he shows you his scars on his legs on the boat, the Heaven song done by Nick himself. I still don't understand why Nick was featured in this DVD, i mean, we just want Aaron, not nick! but they do make a funny duet when they are together. When it shows "Aaron eating a Cajun, he ..... describes what's on his plate, he doesn;t actually EAT 'em. I perfer the AARON'S PARTY - LIVE IN CONCERT much better. He talks alot more in that, and i love the part when he went swimming with the fishes. The 1th b'day party part is dump, coz it's black and white! and the concert part, well, wat can i say, the stage is real small. Hey, i'm just being honest.

k, hope that helped ya!

This DVD is Really cool. It has a lot of songs from his cd's, interviews, and much more!! Aaron is Really Talented, and if you don't believe me, listen to him in his concert! Well, AC Rocks and so does this Video!! I think you will like it if you buy it, just like I do. Aaron Carter RULES!!

First off Paul Rodgers voice is superb and his stage presence is unmatched. Contrasting this is Dave "Bucket" Colwell. While he is visually a dead ringer for Mick ralphs, his playing reminds me of my Bad Co interpretations while learning the guitar. There doesn't seem to be a rawness to this performance. Great moments and some not so great. Watch first before you buy.

i saw bad co in concert last year, they looked and sounded great! what more can be said about paul rodgers? he is the voice of hard rock, as for the dvd, it's really good, buy a copy, you will enjoy it!

I remember the excellent music of FREE and Bad Company from years ago, but had not heard of anything new since the demise of the FIRM. Then, I saw Simon Kirke on one of Ringo Starr's wonderful shows, and he was every bit as good as he had been in my memories! I searched, and found this DVD of the newly reformed Bad Company, and bought it quickly! Paul Rodgers may be the best rock vocalist to ever grace the airwaves, but I believe he is at his best with Kirke providing the solid, "rock steady" foundation. This is what you get on this DVD! They do "Wishing Well" & "All Right Now" in conjuction to the magnificent Bad Company Hits. Mick Ralphs isn't here, but another guitarist fills in for him well enough. I like the new bassist, and have just played this DVD over, and over, again! The show presented here is wonderful, with Rodgers displaying a marvelous "frontman" skill along with his voice. This type of performance is the kind that really comes across well with DVD technology. The DVD has many special features, including a "hidden" song,(though I have not found it yet), and interviews with "friends" including Tommy Shaw from STYX, the Jabo Stokes Jive Rockets Band, and the Damm Yankees. I hope the hidden song is either "Fire & Water", or "My Brother Jake" from the FREE days, but regardless, this DVD is WELL WORTH the purchase!!

...the SONGS left out. Oh MAN. Listen to the version of "Baby What You Want Me To Do" available on a 12-inch single (and most two-CD versions of the concert). It is one song among many (i.e., the rest of the great acoustic set, the unbelievable rendition of "You Send Me," the song which actually OPENED the concerts, "The Price of Love") that was foolishly left off of this DVD.

I guess Image Entertainment was thinking of this simply as a PRODUCT. Maybe they think we should be grateful that they *remixed the audio.* Where is the great rehearsal footage, the interviews with each brother as they were being driven to the Albert Hall, the pre-show comments from Brian Setzer and Tom Petty? All of this was seen (in very edited form, VHS-era) on the "Rock & Roll Oddysey" documentary.

Image Entertainment BLEW it. However, we must remind ourselves: do all of the CDs bearing the title "The Everly Brothers - Reunion Concert" feature the tracklist and the brown cover of the original two-LP set from Passport Records? No. About 26,534 versions of the "Reunion Concert" exist (I saw a new, two-disc version at Wal-Mart for less than $10) and we can only hope that, similarly, the DVD will be rereleased and expanded as time goes by (Hi, Rhino, Sanctuary).

Another issue is the fact that, by the late '90s (in other words, by the time Buddy Emmons' touch was in full effect), the Everlys' show became a different monster - a beautiful, a little bit rock & roll, a little bit country (but, thankfully, not having anything to do with the Osmonds), tight-but-loose show played by musicians whom each posessed a perfect mixture of "professional musician" and "feel musician" qualities (not unlike Neil Young's "Friends And Relatives" band). As much as we wanted to see the Reunion Concert on DVD, we Everly fans would love to see a DVD of a concert from one of the LAST years of their touring (A&E filmed their May 20, 1999 show in Las Vegas; how about releasing that?).

It's great to see the Everly Brothers' "Reunion Concert" DVD staring me in the face at my local record and electronic stores, but let's hope that a DVD featuring a more complete version of the show is released by a company who approaches the project in an enthusiastic way.

I can remember seeing them at the Bitter End on Bleeker Street in Greenwich Village so close I could touch them, and at The Westbury Music fair in the round.........

Even though they've changed the phrasing on a couple of their songs, and it's not quite the way they did it on the record, the Everly Brothers are living Rock and Roll legends that cannot be replaced by anyone, and seeing them in person, or even here on DVD, is a wonderful experience.....

Two points: first, to sing the same songs for 40 years, night after night, and often not being allowed to grow past those sacred hits can take a lot out of any musician, and singing into that same mike every night, with the same guy and the same songs can really take a toll on any relationship......of course the people in the audience only care about hearing their favorite songs the way they remember them, and are unaware, (as they should be) that they sang the same set the same way last night and every night for the past 40 years.....it gets to you

Second, in any relationship, often one dominates and the other doesn't, and when that happens over and over and you don't just work together but you're family as well, well Don still sees Phil as his baby brother, and now that both men are in their 50's.....it's easy to see why the split up happened.....(The Beatles were destined for the same thing as soon as Brian Epstein was lost...no buffer)

All that in mind, I bought this the second I saw it......the sound is OK, but not as good as you would have liked, because the band and the background music was not what they deserved......and the boys are older, as are we all, and time has a way of......

And you could see that at this point, there was still some tension between these two wonderful musicians......

For the record, the last time I saw them, years after this show, the tension was gone, they were having fun again, and you could tell that both they, and the world around them, had accepted that these weren't just the Everly Brothers, but that these were the ONLY two EVERLY BROTHERS in the universe, and they finally had, and realized they had, all the respect they deserved.

I can't say enough about this Everly Brothers Reunion Concert, the brothers were in great form. The ballads were beautiful, and the upbeat songs, they really rocked to. I loved it so much I bought another for a relative.

It is blasphemy! Steve Morse butchers the songs with his funky off pitch string bending. He has the most horrible vibrato. If no one else notices it they need their ears checked. Steve Morse is left handed but plays righty which is the problem with his vibrato that cannot be ignored. Yngwie Malmsteen would be better fitting in Deep Purple but he is too into himself and his controlling other players to have joined this legendary band.

This DVD is from a 1999 performance by Deep Purple, along with various guests, including the London Symphony Orchestra. They probably should have called it "Deep Purple And Friends", for reasons that will soon become obvious.

The show gets off to a slow start, with two ballads featuring Purple keyboardist Jon Lord on grand piano and the orchestra. The first, Pictured Within, has a singer named Miller Anderson on vocals. The second song, Wait Awhile, features Sam Brown, a female vocalist who has recorded several solo albums, and has also toured with Pink Floyd as a backup singer. Neither of these songs is very good, and are the primary reason why I'm not giving this release a five star review.

After the dull opening, Lord and orchestra are joined by most of his Deep Purple bandmates, bassist Roger Glover, drummer Ian Paice, and guitarist Steve Morse, along with Ronnie James Dio. With this configuration (plus a few backup singers and violinist Graham Preskett) the group performs two Glover penned songs, Sitting In A Dream and Love Is All. These songs are drawn from Butterfly Ball And The Grasshopper's Feast, a conceptual work that Glover released in the mid 70's. It's interesting that the band would choose to spotlight such obscure songs, but I think in the end, these two songs are played rather well.

Following this, Dio and Morse both leave the stage, and the remaining three members of Purple and Preskett, plus the infamous Kick Horns (who ruined many a classic song when they toured with The Who in 89) tear into the classic Purple instrumental Wring That Neck. I suppose if this was someone else paying tribute to Purple, I'd regard this as a great arrangement, but I was expecting to hear Steve Morse play on this track. Like I said, it's a good arrangement, and I suppose the band gets points for trying something different.

After this, show the REALLY picks up steam, as they present Lord's Concerto For Group And Orchestra, a piece that Purple originally recorded in 69, and which hadn't played much since then, until circumstances brought upon the inspiration to resurrect the piece 3 decades later.

So, what does the Concerto sound like? Well, it sounds like exactly what I had imagined it to be, ie a mix of an orchestra playing classical sounding music with the classic Purple sound. Some of the orchestral interludes seem to go on a bit, but I think in general, it's very successful in mixing classical and hard rock music. There's a couple bits during the second movement, where Ian Gillan sings, but it's mostly an instrumental piece.

After the Concerto, the band performs a handful of 90's era songs, before ending the set with Pictures Of Home. The encore is, of course, Smoke On The Water, performed with the full cast of musicians, along with members of The Steve Morse Band and a second guitarist who isn't really identified (he's not mentioned on the back cover, though presumably his name is amongst those listed under the word "Guests" in the closing credits). Dio and Gillan trade off on vocals, and suprisingly, the orchestra, Kick Horns and even the back up singers (I HATE back up singers, what does a rock group like Deep Purple need back up singers for?) sound great.

To those who demur at the idea of Deep Purple without Ritchie Blackmore, I might point out Steve Morse is a genius. He's had a long career playing with The Dregs during the 70's as well as The Steve Mores Band and Kansas during the 80's. He twice got so sick of the business of the music industry that he quit and took a normal job, but found the pull of playing music too strong to stay away from his first love. He does a perfect job at filling Blackmore's shoes.

As I said before, the only reason I'm giving this DVD a four star review instead of five is because of the two boring Jon Lord songs that open the disc. I think it would have been better if they had started out with a few Purple songs, then the Concerto, then more Purple material to wrap up with. Maybe they could have stuck the songs the songs featuring Miller Anderson (WHO IS Miller Anderson, anyway?!), Sam Brown and Ronnie James Dio in the middle someplace, but I think it was a bad idea to start with them.

Anyway, I think this is a nice release, and once they get into the actual portion of the show that features Deep Purple, it's fantastic.

Nice DVD...starts out mellow, with guest vocalists and the orchestra with Jon Lord in charge. Concerto for Group and Orchestra kicks in, and is great. Differences in the '69 version for sure (which is worth buying, also). The group rocks out more..all original members except Blackmore replaced by Steve Morse who can handle the guitar duties great. would have been a great concert to have been at--they did it all.

Should I have known this, I wouldn't have never bought it
I don't give even a star to the songs selection

a truly wonderful performance by one of the greats, who through innovation and vision manages to constantly entertain in so many ways.

The musicians on this tour and the song selections are magical, blending modern with classic in powerful ways.

Ferry brings so much musical joy to the world.

Bravo!

I cannot believe how good this video is. The performance completely blew me away! This is one of the best perfomances I have ever seen on video. The musicians Mr. Ferry has in this performance are amazing. I absolutely love the way he uses the strings - 2 violins, viola and cello. There is one song where the strings are used to create bird-like sounds and the effect is stunning. I have always loved Mr. Ferry's voice but seeing and hearing him perform with an orchestral group is incredible.

The performance of Casanova is worth the price of the DVD. Don't wait, order this now.

This is a killer concert, and I was lucky enough to see it live on television. I do miss the live aspect of the DVD in that they edited out some of the mistakes and the booing of Hilary Clinton. While I understand why they cleaned things up, they mistakes were some of the best parts of the show. Melissa Etheridge came out and started singing, but the microphone was not working. This went on for a little bit and was great, but it was edited fom the DVD. The sound and the show is amazing, and it was great to see the reactions to the performers. Bill Joel doing Manhattan 2120, and the Who. Killer.

Without this concert, New York would still be in a depression. All the victims wouldn't have gotten the money that they needed. And, most importantly, we wouldn't have seen such a great collection of music all in one place. From the moment David Bowie walks on stage (which you don't actually see, but...) to the moment Paul McCartney walks off, this truly is the greatest concert ever. Here are some of my thoughts on some of the artists:

Bowie -- enthusiastic and proud
Bon Jovi -- Hard rocking fun
Goo Goo Dolls -- great cover
Who -- stunning as always
Jagger -- powerful and energetic
Taylor -- amazingly touching
Fallon -- get a life
McCartney -- a youthful finish

As for the DVD itself, it looks great and sounds great, but should not have been edited. (If you want to see an unedited version, some collectors have it for trade on the internet.) Other than the editing factor, the DVD is well worth the money.

Paul McCartney, the Who, the Rolling Stones, Eric Clapton, Elton John, David Bowie. This is a once-in-a-lifetime gathering of stars playing a benifit concert for 9/11. Most of the artists do a good job of choosing appropriate material -- Paul McCartney's "I'm Down" and "Yesterday." The Who's "Behind Blue Eyes" and "Won't Get Fooled Again." Yet some do not -- Jay-Z's "H To The Izzo" or Jimmy Falon's "'80's Medly." Nevertheless, however, we will never have another concert like this again.

A few years ago I was able to purchase a VHS copy of this concert, but my VCR liked Genesis also, so it ate the tape a while later; therefore, I was delighted when I discovered, about a month ago, when this Genesis show was put on Region 1 DVD back in late fall of last year. On the surface, the two DVD set is fairly impressive.
But there are a few things about both the content of the discs and the product packaging that are a bit confusing and, to an extent, misleading. First--and probably of most importance--is concerning the eight hours+ of concert footage. Because of the multiple camera angles, the concert may be viewed in up to sixteen different positions, with the concert itself being about two and a half hours long. However, before I knew the DVD of the show was available, the original (from 1993) VHS tape had behind-the-scenes footage of the concert, so I figured that the DVD had additional (eight hours+ worth of) behind-the-scenes footage--but the behind-the-scenes footage on the original tape was not included in the DVD set, though it should've been (and it's beyond me why it wasn't). There's some other stuff (one-sided interviews, a photo gallery, the original concert program, along with some other stuff I can't recall at the moment), but the supplemental stuff is of little value to me.
I'm just glad to have the concert back and in such an improved A/V format (and I must admit that switching between camera angles is pretty cool)! Secondly, I suppose I will complain about the packaging. Because of the eight hours+ worth of differing camera angle footage, the concert had to be cut in half, putting (roughly) the first 1 hour and 15 minutes of the concert on disc 1 and putting (roughly) the second 1 hour and 15 minutes of the concert on disc 2. But the setlist on the packaging does NOT discern the content split (from "Land Of Confusion" to "Jesus He Knows Me", then the "intermission", then from "Dreaming While You Sleep" to "Turn It On Again"); instead, the setlist displays the concert as if it were whole (like it was on the original VHS tape). Although I dislike having to switch discs to watch the concert in its entirety, overall, Genesis' "The Way We Walk" DVD is wonderful and I absolutely adore it; it focuses mainly on the band's music from the '80s and '90s instead of the '70s (aside from "Old Medley").
Yet, in terms of the physical DVD case, I would've preferred two single keep cases instead of a double-disc case, plus the discs are hard to remove from the case, because of the "Lift Here" top finger slot type of design used, which I don't like because a DVD is NOT supposed to be touched on its underside (aka the playing side of a single-side disc), so grasping the discs by their edges and freeing them from the case seems impossible, but if you have a bit of patience they can be removed without being scratched or damaged. (I love the DVD cases that have the two-part jewel post, which you just push down where it says Press Here and it releases its hold on a DVD's center ring.)
Video-quality wise: the concert looks fairly good, though some video compression had to be sacrificed so four hours+ worth of video could be on each disc. Both discs are dual-layer; consequently, the layer changing occurs during two songs, which pauses the songs for a second, but it's no big deal.
Audio-quality wise: the concert sounds fairly good (a bit weak) in standard two-channel mode, though the audio was remastered for 5.1-channel Dolby Digital surround sound, which makes the concert sound better (fuller, clearer) when down-mixed to stereo. The third audio track demenishes the concert sound to something coming out of an alarm clock radio, replacing the audio with a running commentary of performance/the overall show from Phil Collins, Mike Rutherford, Tony Banks and Genesis' manager Tony Smith. The commentary is interesting and somewhat insightful, but since British people tend to speak quickly the comments from the four men aren't exceedingly understandable (plus it sounds as if where the guys were screening the concert to make the commentary wasn't a very good place to record their voices; also, with the commentary having been done in 201, the concert was then nine years old, so it seemed as if all four of them were trying hard to recollect their experiences of that November 1992 Earl's Court performance).
Still, overall, despite the few flaws it has, this is a great DVD set--a must have for hard-core fans and casual fans such as myself (being a hard-core Elton John fan instead).

For those interested, here's a list of my A/V gear, which was used to evaluate the DVD set and to justify my review --

RCA 20" ColorTrax Plus television monitor (composite video I/O used)
Pioneer VSX-456 A/V Dolby Pro Logic Receiver, with equal (5-channel) 100-watt output
General Electrics GEDigital-1105P DVD player
Jensen PowerStation JP-1500 main-channel speakers with 15" woofers
Radio Shack brand 18-gauge speaker wire

Room size: small bedroom - approx. 10x15'
Room acoustics: fairly "dead" (aka soft).

having received recently both "the wall" and this dvd i will conclude both are amazing dvd and are "must have" dvd.
i simply regret that this dvd has not the same 5.1 quality of mixing than "the wall "
Sound is superb nevertheless

I was so impressed with this dvd set! The concert is great and the number of cameras they had along with the superb editing really make you feel like you' re at the show. The multi-angle feature is awesome! To me, it's totally worth having to split up the show on 2 dvds to add the angle options. It really feels like you're watching it live when you pick an angle and watch it uncut for a while. I especially liked some of the isolated cameras that were on Phil so I could see some of the funny and interesting things he was doing which you couldn't always necessarily see in the full edit. Phil really gives it his all in this show, and though his voice cracks a few times, he really sings the heck out of each and every song. Ample screen time is also given to Tony, Michael, Chester, and Daryl. The interviews included on both dvds with Mike, Phil and Tony are great because they give some nice insights into the concert set and song histories. But what happily surprised me most about this concert is that none of the songs were from the same recordings that were on the live albums that went along with this tour! It was great to hear slightly different nuances in these live performances than the ones I am used to hearing on the live cds...like Phil singing a bit of "Misunderstanding" in the old medley instead of "You're Own Special Way", or him calling gasoline "Petro" in "Jesus He Knows Me" for the London audience. The audience was actually one of the only disappointing things about this dvd. For most of it they seem pretty dull and are sitting down and don't appear to add a lot of energy to the show. But luckily near the concert's end they stand up and cheer more and there is more interaction between them and the band. Overall, a fantastic dvd and a great addition to any Genesis fans' library! And the menus and opening to this dvd rock!

The first time I saw this on VHS I was blown away because this was the first EWF concert released on video. But after watching it three or four times I noticed that the overdubbing was very heavy.The sound was still great but to me live means "live". I recommend EWF Live in Japan or EWF Live By Request.

The sound is great, but video quality very poor. The band sounds super. I would recommend EW&F Live in Japan, because it got much better video quality.

I remember seeing the group on this particular tour (haven't missed any of them) and the DVD brought back wonderful memories. Though the costumes and look is definitely 80's, their music is timeless and I'm truly glad I purchased it.

EWF will always be one of the greatest groups ever-- period.

All that can be said is that Richard Pryor is pure comedic genius! It is certainly obvious who Eddie Murphy was influenced by. The sound could have been re-worked for this DVD, but it's still a classic to own.

This is my absolute favorite of the Richard Pryor series !! The man is simply a comic genius !! Too many funny skits to list......just buy it !! You won't be sorry!!

This is it! Pyror in his prime! I have put on this tape every night for three weeks straight now and still laugh all the way through.Its all here;the heart attack,the squirrel monkeys,stayin in shape,the stuttering chinese waiter and on and on. Not a weak moment on it. What sets this concert apart from the rest(Carlin,Murphy,Rock,to name a few)is because it has SUBSTANCE.Very smart comedy. ("Macho man!I'll take that knife and shove it up your...)
