DVD Reviews of Crowded House - Dreaming The Videos
DVD Review: For the fans
Summary: 4 Stars
I am a Crowdies fan, and this video was given to me by a friend who watched it once and then passed it on. It is great for me as a fan to have as far as collector's purposes, but I wouldn't recommend it to non-fans. Crowdies videos, with the exception of perhaps the ones from the Together Alone album, just aren't that good. Plus, the menu and extra features that go with this are quite stale, but that might be because it was released by Capitol, their North American company. It could have possibly been done better Down Under. For me, it's really a 3-star product, but as a fan I feel guilty giving it less than 4 stars.
Bottom line: Fans will enjoy it. If you're a fann wanting to Finn-doctrinate your frenz, though, or curious for the first time about the Crowdies, stick with just the music.
DVD Review: We loved you, Paul
Summary: 4 Stars
Buy this simply to watch the lively, goofball antics of drummer Paul Hester, who always added much color to Crowded House, and nowhere is it more apparent than in this series of promo videos. CH was never an extraordinarily groundbreaking video band, but these clips are worth watching just to see the guys in action throughout a number of video styles that evolved over the years. Paul, by all accounts, was a funny and likable man who clearly kept his personal demons well-hidden. Often called "a frontman positioned behind a drumkit," he nearly steals all of these clips with his humor and silliness and his fans will always have that. RIP, Paul Hester. DVD Review: Nice to watch once
Summary: 3 Stars
To me, Crowded House are more of a band that you listen to, rather than watch. The videos are typical of the time they were filmed, some looking very dated now. All of their hit singles are included on this DVD with stereo or 5.1 surround sound as an option.
This is nice to own if you are a die-hard fan and need reminding of a great band that they were. However, as the majority of video clips are rather dull (also the guys aren't much to look at), your best bet is to just listen to your CD's.
Once only viewing.
DVD Review: what a great band
Summary: 5 Stars
like the beatles in that they dropped in for a decade and left behind a fantastic body of work. these videos showcase everything that made them great; finn's beautiful songs, the terrific chemistry and humor, and the look that isn't the least bit dated nearly 20 yrs later. not to mention superb musicianship. the best part about the collection is the fact that hardly any of these videos were seen in the states, except those from the first record(don't dream, something so strong, getting somewhere.) current mtv/vh1 clips are not nearly as technically beautiful. witness four seasons in one day or nails in my feet. this band made great art, but they didn't take themselves too seriously. what higher compliment? if you love the music,even though it was ignored here, you gotta have the dvd. more acts should collect and package their vids like this. crowded house rip!DVD Review: Distant Sun.
Summary: 4 Stars
"Dreaming: The Videos" encapsulates the entire career of Crowded House. Their videos were decent, but not great. I've seen much worse from the time period these videos spanned. There's a generous selection from all four of their albums plus two videos from their "Best Of" album. All the videos appear to be here. The "Catch 22" interview is really just a re-hash of their videos from their first album mixed with intermittent footage of an interview with the band. It could have been left off and no one would have missed it. Overall, this disc, minus the interview is 1 hour and 22 minutes. It's slightly over-priced for what it offers. Capitol should have made it a two disc set with the second disc offering a live concert of the band's choosing. If you are a Crowded House fan, this compilation should be suitable.
