DVD Reviews of Paul McCartney - The Space Within US
DVD Review: Another MAJOR disappointing DVD of a GREAT tour
Summary: 2 Stars
I saw this show live and it was even better than his 2002 outing, which was also a great concert. Paul's band became a lot tighter - and more rocking - in the three years between the 'Back in the U.S.' tour and the so-called 'US' tour. Both shows had excellent set lists, but '05 benefited from a tremendously better new album to promote. He may not have done many new songs on either tour, but I'd much rather hear stuff from "Chaos" than "Driving Rain." Also, Paul's chattiness during the concert continued from '02 - he told lots of a great stories before many songs, something nearly absent from his last round of big stadium shows ('89/90 and '93).
Sadly, the producers of "The Space Within US" commit the same errors as those responsible for "Back In the U.S."
The hyperactive editing is truly staggering...in the worst sense of the word. Why would anyone want to see so much of the audience? The best concert movies minimize audience shots, sometimes it feels like in any given song the audience is show at least as much as Paul and the band. When Paul IS shown, the camera is usually quite distant and moving all over the place.
I do have an idea about what these editorial choices are made. Paul McCartney is not a very visually dynamic performer. By no means do I mean anything against his musicianship or his vocals. Just from a purely visual aspect, he really isn't very interesting to watch. That said, I WOULD rather watch him and his bandmates instead of the audience - but I mention the lack of visual presence as a possible reasoning behind the ridiculous camera-work and editing.
I have no such idea about why (why? Why??? WHY??!!) these McCartney concert DVDs always interrupt the flow of the concert with inane interview clips. As voiced by so many fans, it's safe to say many of us would love to just have a tastefully (read: simply) staged presentation of an entire complete concert. It doesn't have to be *the same* concert, if it's a composite of the best parts of numerous shows just edit it together in a way that preserves the flow and feel of the concert. It's been said a ton of times: the behind-the-scenes stuff and all the ego-boosting testimonials can be saved for the special features.
So far only one McCartney live DVD delivers the performance in such a straight-forward manner: "Live at the Cavern Club." Of course, that was a less-than-an-hour long one-off concert that featured mostly non-original material. But at least it didn't interrupt the show with nonsense. It would be nice to see that kind of presentation for his next big arena tour.
The special features are not all that special. I liked the soundcheck performances best - especially two excellent versions of songs from "Chaos and Creation" that weren't featured in the main concert ("Friends To Go" and "How Kind of You").
