DVD Reviews of Joss Stone - Mind, Body & Soul Sessions
DVD Review: DVD production dims Joss' shining performance
Summary: 3 Stars
Unless you are a big-time fan/collector of Joss Stone, this DVD needs a warning sticker. No, I don't mean the parental guidance kind (up to this point Joss's music is suitable for all ages, content-wise). Rather, as other reviewers have mentioned, some aspects of the production make this DVD a chore to sit through without becoming brain-fried.
Much like the recent Sarah McLachlan AFTERGLOW live video (to name one of many), the camera angles change every second or two, making it impossible for the viewer to relax and appreciate the music. I mean, there's Joss close-up, now a cymbal, now Joss side-view, now a closeup of a guitar, now an out-of-focus sideways pan, now Joss from the waist-up, now the camera panning in on the stage ... all that in less than 15 seconds. Try sitting through that for an hour. My head is spinning just reading what I wrote, let alone watching the DVD! The Talking Heads' classic concert film STOP MAKING SENSE should be the standard for how to shoot a live gig, not the hyper-multi-shot approach used in many music videoclips.
Joss focuses on tunes from her two albums, staying pretty faithful to the studio renditions but sung with the high level of inspiration that you would expect from her. The 5.1 audio mix isn't bad, although I've heard better concert films (you don't really get the sensation of being in the venue, except when the crowd is applauding). Among the extra features are a number of videoclips (including "You Had Me"), a mini-documentary, and one bonus concert track. The clips are not in surround sound, just in case anyone was wondering. The bottom line is that the music is very good, the DVD production in need of a major remix.
