DVD Reviews of Musicares: A Tribute to Brian Wilson
DVD Review: John Legend Nails It.
Summary: 3 Stars
This tribute wasn't as strong as the 2001 tribute held at Radio City Music Hall. Having said this, it's worth purchasing just for John Legend's mesmerizing performance of the Pet Sounds track I JUST WASN'T MADE FOR THESE TIMES. Even though Brian Wilson's band backs up Legend on this version, and the original arrangement is left more or less intact, this most excellent band does bend the arrangement ever so slightly, giving it a bit of a groove so as to cradle Legend's soulful voice and delivery. Legend obviously understands the material implicitly, which is surprising considering his youth and the fact that the material is over 40 years old. His performance showcases how timeless Brian's music can be as long as the artist understands the musical complexity and emotional directness Brian was such a genius at creating with his songs.DVD Review: Could have been better !
Summary: 2 Stars
If you compare this item with the James Taylor Tribute, there is a huge difference in quality and presentation. Some artist did a fantastic job while others were very poor. I loved and cherish JT's DVD but this one.. I could have let it pass !DVD Review: Brian Wilson still rocks!
Summary: 4 Stars
I originall purchased this dvd for Jeff Beck`s performance, and was pleasantly suprized by the entire show. Everyone does a good job bringing their unique styles to Brian`s music. Great versatility!
Cheers!
DVD Review: Great stuff for little money
Summary: 4 Stars
I'm probably the only one who doesn't understand why everybody is so ecstatic about the Jeff Beck-performance; to me it's just "muzak" ("elevator music"); I only felt one thing while watching it: the forward-button under my thumb ;-)
Other than that it's a really cool DVD! I really liked the performances of John Legend and The Backstreet Boys. Michael McDonald and Billy Preston are pretty cool too, although it's a shame that McDonald screws up the lyrics (big time!)
As far as I'm concerned they could have left Shelby Lynne off this DVD... Mannnn, does that woman look uninterested and grumpy... Too bad that this DVD doesn't have the complete concert; I would have loved to have the Neil Young and India Arie peformances... But hey: for this little money for such a great disc you can't complain too much, can ya? :-)
All in all: a great little disc, especially for Beach Boys / Brian Wilson-freaks!
DVD Review: A Must for Any Brian Wilson Fan
Summary: 5 Stars
Participants backed by BW band are outstanding, Michael McDonald and Billy Preston (Don't Worry Baby), Jaime Cullum with Fred Martin and the Levite Camp (Sail on Sailor), John Legend (I just wasn't made for this time), Backstreet Boys (When I grow up to be a Man), Jeff Beck (Surf's Up and Surfing USA), Darlene Love (Wouldn't it Be Nice), Richie Sambora (City Blues). Brian and the band really rocked (Our Prayer & Heroes and Villains, Good Vibrations, Fun Fun Fun and Love and Mercy)plus the band played Pet Sounds. Those who were not backed by the band like Red Hot Chilli Peppers(I Get Around), Barenaked Ladies (Brian Wilson), Earth Wind and Fire (Don't Talk Put your head in my shoulder) were quite good. The beautiful Shelby Lynne(Surfer Girl)backed also by Brian's band was absolute delightfull . Some of the participants definetly outdid the 2001 Radio City Tribute. Phil Ramone produces again and believe me you'll get more than your money's worth
Description of Musicares: A Tribute to Brian Wilson
Studio: Red Distribution Release Date: 02/06/2007 Run time: 82 minutesThe renaissance of Brian Wilson continues with MusiCares: A Tribute to Brian Wilson, a 2005 concert featuring timeless tunes by the Beach Boys maestro and his various lyricists, rendered here by a variety of artists, including Wilson himself. The singer-song matches here are uniformly outstanding, as the performances tend to bring out influences that were more latent in the Beach Boys' original versions. The Backstreet Boys (who knew?) highlight the doo-wop and Four Freshmen flavors of "When I Grow Up (to Be a Man)," easily negotiating the song's complex harmonies; Shelby Lynne shows that "Surfer Girl" could have been a country song; Earth, Wind, and Fire slightly speed up "Don' Talk (Put Your Head on My Shoulder)," an immaculate ballad from Pet Sounds, while former Crystals singer Darlene Love brings out the Phil Spector inspiration in "Wouldn't It Be Nice" and the Red Hot Chili Peppers highlight the straight rock 'n' roll of "I Get Around," with Anthony Kiedis, Flea, and John Frusciante doing a creditable job on vocal parts that were originally sung by a quintet. The others are good too, including Barenaked Ladies (who do an original song, entitled--natch--"Brian Wilson," as well as the sublime "Till I Die"), John Legend ("I Just Wasn't Made for These Times"), and especially guitarist Jeff Beck, who turns in a breathtaking instrumental version of "Surf's Up," one of Wilson's most challenging compositions. Accompanied by his first-rate band (who also back most of the other artists), Brian himself closes out the show with four tunes, and while his weird, wooden stage presence can be distracting, it's enough that the guy is still around to perform these classics. Add to that the fact that the event raised money for worthy charitable causes, and you end up with some seriously good vibrations. (Also well worth checking out is An All-Star Tribute to Brian Wilson). --Sam Graham
