DVD Reviews of Eric Johnson - Live From Austin Tx
DVD Review: INSANE PLAYING
Summary: 5 Stars
Just finished watching this last night. I have to suspect that Eric hadn't discovered girls yet, in order to play that brilliantly!! In other words, he must have spent a lot of time, especially in the mind-boggling "speed" department!
Of course I'm joking about the "girls" bit, I say that about all truly great musicians.
I can't really make any critisisms about this concert, however, it would have been nice to have say, a rhythm guitar, Hammond keys, or a Rhodes behind him, but still, it's great!
Finally, after watching the concert, I read the liner notes, and was delighted to see that he mentioned Jeff Beck,(my favorite guitarist, who even influenced Jimi to a certain extent- don't believe me?, then do your research!!), as one of his three major influences, which includes Jimi, of course. Jeff doesn't have that unbelievable speed picking, (up and down the neck), he doesn't use a pick for starters, but he's one of those people who only fully displays his remarkable brilliance "in concert", and does so intentionally.
But this review is about Eric, (who's probably somewhat of a friend of Jeff's anyway), and Eric is so incredible throughout, that he even manages to imitate Jimi Hendrix's "reverse, backwards-taped recorded" guitar from "Are You Experienced", without any "backwards" effects, no less!! You'll not be dissappointed!
DVD Review: Abnorrmal playing. This guy must be an extraterrestrial...
Summary: 5 Stars
No Vai. No Satriani. No Malmsteen. Of course, I'm joking. Music has a lot of diferente textures, styles and patterns, so there is room for every kind of music and every kind of guitar player.
But Mr. Johnson is altogether in another league. This short lenght video (less that one hour) gives you the full scope of the enormous, almost out of this planet talent of this guitarrist.
Well, see for yourself. Man, I had no idea you could do THAT much with a Fender...
DVD Review: Magnificence from the days when rock DIDN'T suck
Summary: 5 Stars
Allright, allright, I confess, I did NOT buy this from Amazon. I didn't know this DVD existed, I just happened to stumble upon it while Christmas shopping at...Borders. (Crash of thunder!! Whinnying of horses!!)
Hell, I had never even heard of EJ untill one fateful day in the early 90's when I first heard "Cliffs of Dover" on the radio. Having survived the 70's, and (mostly) enjoyed the 80's, I was worried about the 90's. EJ's album Ah Via Musicom seemed to indicate that music would be allright. Sadly, that was not to be. Soon we would be under full "Seattle Sound" assault. "Grunge" came along and destroyed rock-and-roll. Despite a few decent songs here and there, R&R has been crap for nigh onto 16 years now.
But we can at least hope that it will come back. Until then, musical reactionaries like me will have to be satisfied with great perfomances (no PBS pun intended) from the past. This concert is almost 20 years old, and it still sounds as fresh as the day it came out. Sit back, listen, and weep for the destruction that Cobain, Vedder, et al hath wrought upon popular music.
DVD Review: Where has this guy been hiding?
Summary: 5 Stars
I can't believe that I never heard of Eric Johnson until Eric Clapton's first Crossroad's concert. At that concert, Eric Johnson amazed me with his sond "Desert Rose". Then I found his "Live from Austin" DVD. I love it and had to have the CD also. This guy is a phenom who doesn't just shred. He, and his talented band, play beautiful music.DVD Review: Count me in!
Summary: 5 Stars
Count me in as another person who keeps her overplayed VHS tape that was copied when I happened to come across the performance on ACL. Luckily, we had recently seen this same tour and I have been hooked as an Eric Johnson fan BAD since. My personal favorite songs are his own Hendrix renditions, and I can't get enough of all of it!
