DVD Reviews of Classic Albums: Rio
DVD Review: Rio grand
Summary: 5 Stars
hey- this is a must see for anyone interested in the making of the music & videos for Rio. It's filled with detailed, behind the mixing board discussions about most of the songs along with archival footage of the bands rise to success along with insightful DVD extras and live performances. Be aware that this DVD didn't work properly in my DVD player but played fine on my computer (I use an iMac G5).
DVD Review: FANTASTIC
Summary: 5 Stars
The live tracks from Boston alone are worth the price of this DVD. Stunning audio with effects. My favorite album from DD. I love this whole series called Classic Albums. The way they go back to the master recordings and single out individual recorded tracks is killer. Your are able to hear details of your familiar tunes for the first time. Can't get enough of this one or the other DVD's in the series, especially Elton John's Yellow Brick Road and The Doors.DVD Review: Classic Rio DVD *****5 Stars "Magnificent"
Summary: 5 Stars
This DVD is indeed a 5 star video. The Live from Boston in the Bonus Material is the part I like most in which it's like a concert in the studio. Duran Duran has never change and never will. They were the fantastic, fabulous band in the 80's, 90's and until today 2000's. This documentary is so interesting that they have discussed how their videos were made and how they fiddle with their instruments to make the song. This is a "must have" video to all Duranie fans and to all wannabe professional musicians. I love this video, the guys are so gorgeous and natural. Magnifico. DVD Review: Insights from the Band
Summary: 5 Stars
It's cool getting insights into some of the tracks from Simon, Nick, John...and Roger even speaks, quite a bit! Too bad about Andy not participating, for whatever the varied reasons, but I'm glad they acknowledged his work.
I wish they had covered all of the songs on the album.
It might have been interesting to get commentary from some of their other contemporaries too, or maybe more time with the guys. I'm not sure why Bob Geldof got as much screen time as he did.
All in all, though, it was very fascinating and worth adding to any Durannie's collection.
Unlike the reviewer who had problems with their disc, mine played fine.
DVD Review: Nice start, but hoped for more.
Summary: 3 Stars
Overall, its nice to hear more about the making of this classic album. However, I felt there was WAY too much focus on the videos than the actual album itself. Unlike other installments of the Classic Albums series, this focused more on the videos than the "Behind the Scenes" of actually making the songs and what went into them and not a lot of "track by track" breakdown as normally seen in this series. Its ok, but I just felt it could have been so much more, especially when compared to the other "Classic Albums" series.
