DVD Reviews of Music For Montserrat Live - Dolby Digital & DTS
DVD Review: Bristish Rockers and friends!
Summary: 5 Stars
I had been looking for this DVD since I listened to it thru a set of noise cancelling headphones at the Bose outlet store in 2003. Bot the headphones and have been searching online for this DVD so I am very happy to have found it on AMAZON!!! You can't beat these rocker friends together - it is very powerful! Excellent buy!DVD Review: Very Nice!
Summary: 4 Stars
Phil Collins singing "Take Me Home" and Mark Knopfler performing "Brothers in Arms" and "Money for Nothing" are fantastic; heck, Elton, McCartney, Sting, Eric Clapton, Sting, Jimmy Buffett, Carl Perkins and Arrow are all great. This is a wonderful concert; I just wish I could have heard it in person.
This DVD looks fantastic and sounds terrific--especially on a DTS capable system like mind. I buy music DVD's only if I can see that they have DTS encoding on the disk (Amazon please take note). However, in a few places--just a couple--the sound quality of "Music for Monserrat" falls down a wee bit compared to other music DVD's I have; otherwise, I would have rated it 5 stars.
That said, this is a great DVD for those like me who love these artists.
DVD Review: Music for Montserrat
Summary: 5 Stars
I was so pleased to be able to purchase this DVD. I enjoyed watching it so did the family. I was not able to find it anywhere else but Amazon, thank you.DVD Review: one of the stunning rock performances of the last two decades
Summary: 5 Stars
it's a must have dvd for your collection if you are a real rock music fan,
latest appearence of Carl Perkins, to me it's the father of what we call rock music know, Phil Collins, Sting, Elton John, Paul McCartney, Eric Clapton and of course the legendary Mark Knopfler, my guitar hero, you should see him in money for nothing gig. They're all in a well-blended mixture of unforgettable live rock concert with mind blowing DTS soundtrack, which means being there. Believe me, it worths every penny...
DVD Review: Somewhat disappointing...
Summary: 3 Stars
It sort of felt like they mostly performed with the attitude that I'm doing this for free; I'm not putting any more into it than I have to. Mark Knopfler's performance was lackluster to say the least. The only one who really seemed to put their heart into it was Elton John. I can't say that I wasted my money, but it won't be the most listened to DVD on my shelf!
Description of Music For Montserrat Live - Dolby Digital & DTS
On September 15th, 1997 at the Royal Albert Hall, legendary music producer George Martin assembled many of the world's greatest music stars in this spectacular benefit concert for the island of Montserrat. Performing their hits in this all-star show are Elton John, Sting, Paul McCartney and Carl Perkins in one of his final appearances. Songs: Take Me Home (Phil Collins), Hot, Hot, Hot (Arrow), Blue Suede Shoes (Carl Perkins), Volcano (Jimmy Buffett), Brothers in Arms, Money For Nothing (Mark Knopfler), Message In a Bottle, Magic (Sting), Your Song, Live Like Horses, Don't Let the Sun Go Down On Me (Elton John), Broken Hearted, Layla, Same Old Blues (Eric Clapton), Yesterday, Golden Slumbers, Hey Jude, Kansas City (Paul McCartney). 112?minutes.On the evening of September 15, 1997, legendary British music producer George Martin (who had risen to prominence with the Beatles) held a benefit concert at London's Royal Albert Hall for the small Caribbean island of Montserrat, which had recently been devastated by a volcanic eruption. All of the invited superstars had recorded some of their biggest hits at Montserrat's Air Studios, which Martin had founded in 1970, and this shared history gives Music for Montserrat an added sense of enjoyment among friends. Despite a few vocal dropouts and forgivable mixing problems, this outstanding concert has been captured with impressive fidelity, and while each artist performs songs appropriate to the occasion, they share the stage (along with a house band, choir, and orchestra conducted by Martin) in brilliant combinations that bring out the best in everyone involved.
The show hits full stride with Mark Knopfler's exquisite "Brothers in Arms," which segues nicely into "Money for Nothing" with guest vocals by Sting, who then performs two hits from his Police years. And while Elton John and Eric Clapton form the centerpiece of the concert (especially Clapton and Knopfler's acoustic "Layla"), Paul McCartney anchors the show with a spectacular four-song conclusion. Phil Collins's expert drumming is matched throughout by legendary percussionist Ray Kooper, and McCartney's fully orchestrated "Golden Slumbers" is a genuine show-stopper, followed by a "Hey Jude" sing-along with everyone on stage. They all follow McCartney's lead for a rockin' rendition of "Kansas City" (which the Beatles had performed as early as 1960), by which time Music for Montserrat had given its royal audience a show they would never forget. --Jeff Shannon
