DVD Reviews of Mel Bay presents Tommy Emmanuel: Live at Sheldon Concert Hall
DVD Review: Not Tommy's best DVD
Summary: 3 Stars
Speaking from the viewpoint of being a HUGE Tommy fan as well as a professional music producer, video producer and performing guitarist of almost 4 decades, I will share that this DVD was disappointing to me. Tommy is fabulous on it - of that make no mistake. However, the production quality, especially the audio is disappointing. If you own all the other Tommy DVDs then buy this one to complete your collection. If you are looking for good Tommy stuff, then I suggest one of the others. TE Live at Her Majesty's Theater in Ballarat is good although the up close camera work is too 'rock 'n' roll' for my taste. (I just directed and shot a four camera live rock n roll concert last night, so I am not against the style at all - it's just not well suited for Tommy in my professional opinion.) So what is my complaint against the audio for this DVD? A fair amount actually - there is no selection for Dolby etc compared to the other I just mentioned which gives you options including DTS - (Hooray) and the overall sound is not Tommy's signature 'bigger than life' sound. It is rather ambient in quality which takes a lot of the impact away from it. Tommy has done a marvelous job of getting an acoustic guitar with pickups installed to sound very close to a mic'ed sound but bigger than life - lots of EQ etc which is his signature sound. This DVD comes nowhere close to that which is a disappointment if you are expecting typical TE bigness.
Just picked up "Tommy Emmanuel Center Stage" two nights ago at his concert and expect that to be fantastic - haven't yet had a chance to sit down and enjoy. It is his latest which probably means it will have all the bells and whistles. ...and yes, as always, the concert was off-the-hook-fantastic!
