DVD Reviews of Classic Albums: Rio

DVD Review: A MUST HAVE FOR ALL DURANIES!!!
Summary: 5 Stars

This DVD Documentary on the FAB FIVE'S greatest album of all time....RIO....is a must have for all DURANIES!!! I'll admit, my first one had the "skipping" issues and flaws (bought it at Virgin Megastore), but once I purchased it through Amazon, I had no further problems! It is such a wonderful "look back" at a great album (my personal favorite out of all their albums). The guys look great and give some wonderful insight to the songs and the music. My only "down side" to the disc was that they did not discuss every song on the album(apparently for time purposes). Two of my favorites that were not discussed were "Lonely in your Nightmare" and "Last Chance on the Stairway". I guess since they were not "hits', they were passed by. To bad....those are great songs! But, the disc is wonderful and it is loaded with alot of information and history that every Duranie can their teeth into! So buy it and enjoy.........I love mine!!!! Bye...Donna "RHO" Rasco/Yucaipa, CA

DVD Review: The Perfect Accompaniment To A Terrific Album!
Summary: 5 Stars

This behind the scenes footage of the making of the Rio album was perfect to enjoy along with the actual album itself. The band shares insight to how the album was made and all the idiosyncrasies that happened in the background. Definitely a must for a Duran Duran fan - cheers!

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.
