How about when you would go a rock concert and the musicians weren’t afraid to take a solo? When going to concert was a visual as well as an auditory experience? Well, that was the ‘80s and if you remember the ‘80s, then you’ll probably remember Triumph. Triumph came out with their first album in 1976 and had their first big hit in 1979 with the song “Lay it on the Line.” This is concert DVD was recorded at a sold-out show at the Metro Centre Arena in Halifax, Nova Scotia (January 1987, I think).

That’s because, when it’s all added up, this DVD racks up over four hours worth of footage! It’s a lot like the difference between shopping for food at your local mini-mart, and loading up your cart to overflowing at CostCo: this is a project-tailor made for those who need their Dropkick Murphys fix in bulk. So if you’re already a Dropkick Murphys fan, the Irish eyes will be smiling on you throughout this release. But if you’re not already on the group’s Celtic-centered punk rock bandwagon, well, let’s just say a little Dropkick Murphys goes a long way.

Narrated by Rip Torn release year: 2003 film rating: Four Stars sound/picture: Four Stars reviewed by: Jeff Fish Here’s the story of how Big Brother and the Holding Company, one of the most influential bands from the 1960s, got its start. Big Brother and the Holding Company, the Grateful Dead, Jefferson Airplane and Quicksilver Messenger Service were the first bands to make it from San Francisco. These were the bands that help develop what would become known as the San Francisco sound and get it exposed to a national audience. Long stretches of music intertwined with a liquid light show mixed with large doses of the LSD experience would go a long way in this new art form called psychedelic rock (or acid rock). ...

If the name Janet Jackson only means “Michael’s little sister” to you, her controversial halftime episode at this year’s Super Bowl must have given you a big shock. But had you already witnessed her “Velvet Rope” concert tour, this little moment of televised public nudity would have struck you as merely a natural progression, especially after judging it within the context of this new DVD concert document. Clearly, Jackson isn’t the only pop diva who is “not that innocent.” Granted, Jackson is not a controversy-hound like Madonna, nor is she just another Madonna-wannabe, such as Britney Spears. But “The Velvet Rope Tour – Live in Concert” is evidence that selling sex is clearly already an established part of Jackson’s act. During “Rope Burn” here, for instance, after her dancers strip down to their undergarments for “Anytime, Anyplace” and stripper poles are ...

Mobility is a primary factor here, since rockers have the ability to run up and down various ramps on typical rock stages, playfully pose with band members, and to even dive headfirst into the crowd, if need be. DJs, such as the Netherlands’ Tiesto, are tethered to their computer banks and wheels of steel for their performances. Yet even with such obvious handicaps, this concert video sure looks and feels like a real rock concert. Granted, there are no obligatory drum solos and such – especially since there are no live drums. But there is, nevertheless, a rabidly excited and fist-pumping crowd captured enjoying Tiesto’s multiple musical mixes live here, where he’s treated by all in ...
