DVD Reviews of Joe Bonamassa - Live at Rockpalast
DVD Review: My 2 cents worth - Almost unwatchable
Summary: 2 Stars
Joe is great so let's get that out of the way. It's the idiots and incompetent boobs that call themselves directors(?) that ruin the greatness of performances such as these. Who in their right mind would say, "I know I can make Joe's performance even better" or worse they feel they have to leave their mark. . . . and by the way they certainly do. It didn't take long for me to sigh and say "Oh only one or two minutes into the video. Concert DVD lovers know what happenes next. A montage of shots from every conceivable angle, (yes and even a couple upside-down) with not one lasting more than 3 seconds (I am not exargerating), shots from behind pillars and from the back of the room over the heads of the audience. Well it is true that when I attend a concert I shake my head constantly, blink my eyes 1,000 times a minute, jump up and down, look around at everything and everyone exceprt the artist I came to see so in that regard maybe I should have rated this 5 star. I jest of course. I don't plan on watching this DVD again the only thing it will be good for is to use as a CD of a live performance.
I often wonder if the artists performing in these shows have any input into the editing or if they even view the final products.
If you're a diehard Bonamassa fan then perhaps you need this to fill out your collection but I believe that others would be better served by picking up Joe's Royal Albert Hall 2 DVD set. It's awesome.
Unfortunately there are far too many concert DVDs on the market such as this where the directors, or editors, or both feel they are superior to the talents they are assigned to document. OK, I make exceptions for vids from the 60s & 70s because they just couldn't help themselves but this is the 21st Century now. My suggestion is to take all these egomanical idiots and commit them to the Ludevico Medical Center and submit them to the same treatment as Alex de Large in the book/film Clockwork Orange. Sit them in a chair unable to move or shut their eyes and force them to vid every unwatchable concert video ever made.
I apologize for not commenting more on the music quality of the DVD. As I said earlier Joe is great, but just as you were expecting a music review and got something different so I was deceived when I thought I was buying a concert video and received this "other" thing.
I believe that rating a concert video I should take into account all aspects of the production not only the performance of the artist so that is the reason for a 2 star rating. Certainly if I were to rate only his playing in the video it would be 5 stars.
