I like this DVD very much. I enjoy watching it with my family. We all like these stars in the party.

DVD Review: Ruined by clueless editing
Summary: 3 Stars

This could have been a much more enjoyable concert if not for the simply ridiculous continual cutting away to long shots, and the flitting from shot to shot. A little pulling back once in a while would have been fine, but each time a performer was introduced, the first 20 seconds or so was spent re-emphasizing that, yes, there was still a huge crowd of people there. As the DVD goes on, it gets more and more annoying. Seldom do you see more than two or three seconds of anything (except the long shots, of course). This spastic approach to editing was especially irritating when Prince Charles finished his speech and we were treated to yet another shot from a quarter mile away before seeing Her Majesty's reaction. There was just no sense of pacing, or of getting the moment. Not a bad concert at all (although I found myself skipping things here and there) but absolutely maddening to watch. For all the work and expense put into it, there should have been money in the budget to hire an editor with a sense of what people enjoy watching.

DVD Review: Off with their heads!
Summary: 1 Stars

I believe rock and roll is at its best when it's stripped down, unpretentious, cheeky and thumbing its snotty nose at the establishment. This concert is an example of what happens when rock loses its edge and snotty becomes snooty. When The Beatles played for Princess Margaret in 1962, at least Lennon made a witty remark about the people in the cheaper seats clapping...Lennon the "working class hero" took all this royalty business with a grain of salt. Here, these rock aristocratic-wannabes do everything short of kissing the royal arse and no one takes the whole thing more seriously than Sir Paul McCartney. What you get are uninspired performances "While my Guitar Gently Weeps" and the embarrassing "All You Need is Love" finale; Eric Clapton looks and sounds like he's bored to tears; you get banal Motown covers (the worst being Baby Spice singing "Baby Love"); Shirley Bassey's Goldfinger -- completely out of place (but she is Prince Charlie's fave); and the God-awful Ricky Martin. Why are we Americans there -- didn't we rebel against the British monarchy? What are we celebrating? And the Irish Andrea Corr -- yikes, whatever happened to Irish rebels? I saddens me to see our own American rock and roll become the stuff of mediocre royal entertainment. Aren't they supposed to be dancing to Handel or Telemann?

Description of Party at the Palace - The Queen's Concerts, Buckingham Palace

This spectacular DVD features highlights from the Queen's Jubilee "Party at the Palace." Featuring: Sir Paul McCartney, Eric Clapton, Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Bennett, Dame Shirley Bassey, Joe Cocker, Phil Collins, The Corrs, Brian Wilson, Sir Elton John, Tom Jones, Annie Lennox, Ricky Martin, Rod Stewart, Steve Winwood, and more!
The Party at the Palace concert is a motley assortment of has-beens and time-wasters, a curious number of whom felt it proper to celebrate Queen Elizabeth's 50 years by singing old Motown songs badly. The concert also features Lenny Henry shouting and an extended plug for Queen's (that's the band) risible musical We Will Rock You. Bewilderingly, Party at the Palace is not only redeemed, but made worth owning, by the four-song set by Brian Wilson, who gives a heartbreakingly earnest performance of "God Only Knows," accompanied by Andrea Corr. The concert ends with a pantomime version of "All You Need Is Love." Party at the Palace is the night rock & roll gave up. Proceeds from the sale of the DVD, "after the deduction of costs and expenses in relation to its production and distribution," will be donated to the Queen Elizabeth II Golden Jubilee Trust. --Andrew Muller
