DVD Reviews of How to Be a Megastar Live! (DVD with CD)

DVD Review: Creative, chaotic, melodic, worth the attention.
Summary: 5 Stars

Yes, it is real. Yes, it is what it is - pure creative percussion that would have the natives in Nirvana dancing with the moon. Visit your roots and a facet will be revealed.

DVD Review: It's not like being there live, but it's still a good time!
Summary: 5 Stars

I've been to the Orlando BMG show twice, and decided to take a look at what they had on video. I bought the Complex Rock Tour on DVD and How To Be A Megastar on Blu-Ray.

The song lists are similar, but there are many differences in the two.

The Complex Rock Tour doesn't have the vaudeville shtick the BMG is famous for, and at times the artifacting and pixalization on my 46" was almost unwatchable. The 5.1 mix also doesn't come close to the Blu-Ray's uncompressed PCM.

How To Be A Megastar Live! is more of a complete BMG show, complete with paintballs and marshmallows. The picture is crystal clear (at least it is on Blu), and the visuals are outstanding. The sound booms out like you were almost there. But not quite... :-)

The Inside The Tube documentary (and Mono) has excerpts of the comedy routines that aren't in the main video, or didn't fit into the tour itself. It is almost worth the price of the disc itself. It's also interesting to note that there are a couple of clips from the Orlando show, but Orlando is never given a mention.

And so, I'm givin' it 5 stars. I find myself playing the disc like it was a CD, just to have the music in the background. The music is outstanding.

But it's not like being at a live show. Living through the toilet paper thing is just astounding... :-)


DVD Review: Blue Man Thrills
Summary: 5 Stars

What can I say about this DVD. Was exciting from the first note. If you love this group you will love this dvd. My only regret is I have never been able to see them in person!

DVD Review: Updated Complex Rock Tour with Lots of Added Stuff
Summary: 5 Stars

If you're a BMG fan you should get this DVD. Although it's an updated version of the 2003 Complex Rock Tour, it contains many new songs and stunts. Make sure you do the setup and select 5.1 sound...the default is for 2 channel stereo. There are also several "extras" that were not only entertaining, but show many clips from the original Blue Man Group theatrical show. The 3 BMG originators discuss the origin and philosophy of the BMG characters, and how they were developed and grew. I missed Tracy Bonham and Venus Hum (who were on the Complex Tour)...but their replacements were great. Another plus is the CD, which contains the soundtrack from Megastar...audio quality is really good...play it in your car....(loud) And...as always......when you're watching the DVD, crank up the volume (especially if you have a quality 5.1 surround sound system and a nice flat screen TV. It's as close to being there live as it gets.

DVD Review: ok
Summary: 3 Stars

this blue man dvd wasn't near as good as there 1st one. but we still enjoy it.

Description of How to Be a Megastar Live! (DVD with CD)

After playing to capacity crowds throughout 2006 and 2007, Blue Man Group's How to Be a Megastar Tour hits the road again in 2008. The live rock show takes the audience through a satirical workshop on how to create the perfect rock concert experience. In the process, they celebrate, skewer and otherwise deconstruct rock stardom in all of its narcissistic glory. Expanding on the Rock Concert Manual concept from The Complex Rock Tour, this time around the Blue Men download a new how-to manual that takes the audience through a uniquely clever and interactive show that guarantees to deliver hypnotic entertainment for all ages. CD/DVD of Blue Man Group's live concert that is currently touring the world. It will feature a live concert on DVD, a distilled version of that show on CD as well as the documentary Inside The Tube and the video I Feel Love as bonus features.
