DVD Reviews of Live at the O2 London, England
DVD Review: I'm finicky when it comes to music. Musically this was good!
Summary: 4 Stars
I have around 60 musical concerts on DVD, and I added this one to my collection today as an impulse buy from Best Buy. I've heard OF KOL, but I've never actually heard a song by them. Because of the name recognition, I decided to give this DVD a try since I know they are similar to other bands I enjoy. I'm glad I did.
Just so you understand where I'm coming from when reviewing this concert/DVD, my musical tastes include Sting (Police and solo), Billy Joel, Michael Jackson, Creed, Earl Klugh, Spyro Gyra, Bella Fleck and the Flecktones, Rush, Ray Lamontagne, Older Garth Brooks, Yes, Allman Brothers, Eric Clapton, Genesis, Norah Jones, Brian Eno, Chick Corea, Joe Satriani, Joe Bonamassa, Jeff Beck, and dozens of others. I'm also a keyboard player.
This DVD fits somewhere in between a few of the bands I'm familiar with and that I've enjoyed over the years. Musically KOL has some great guitar work, good drumming and good vocals. You can actually understand most of the lyrics, which I generally prefer. There is a lot going on in their compositions without too much repetition.
For my taste in concert DVDs (I like them to be filmed as if I'm there watching from different vantage points), the camera work is a 3 1/2 out of 5. I can't stand concerts where the camera jumps randomly from performer to performer, missing guitar solos. (I.E. Coldplay Live 2003) The camera work is pretty good here, and focuses on the performer during the solos and key parts of the song. A lot of crowd shots, but usually panning shots, which is pleasant.
Sound quality is pretty good (Anthem AVM20, Paradigm Signature 100's, AVM50, Servo-15, ADP's), and picture quality is average.
Most likely, if you lean a bit towards harder rock that doesn't get much air play, you'll enjoy this concert. The performance was good, if not just another good band playing for an audience. Nothing special about the stage presence of the band, just good music.
For those who care (I only do when my 3 year old is watching music with me) there is some language towards the end of the DVD when Caleb Followill talks about the price of concerts and thanks the audience for paying to see them.
Good stuff!
