DVD Reviews of Pete Seeger's Rainbow Quest - The Clancy Brothers & Tommy Makem, and Mamou Cajun Band
DVD Review: Rainbow quest -Clancy Brothers& TMakem+Mamou Cajun Band
Summary: 3 Stars
I've always been a big fan of the Clancy's and Pete Seeger. Whilst this production is good, it is not up to their normal high standards. At the start of the show, Pete Seeger explained that his throat was hoarse and he couldn't sing so he called his friends the Clancy's at the last minute. They appeared minus Patrick Clancy and did a workman like job. Then Tom Paxton came on and that segment was a little better as there was more interaction. Seeger's throat apparently was ok by performance time but the crux of the show is the crossover interactions and song swapping that Seeger usually does with his guests. The second show had the Mamou Cajun band employing the old time high pitched virtually incomprehensable singing even if one knows Cajun French. The musicianship was good but somehow the interactions and the chemistry just came up a bit short. Again both programmes are good and worth buying but just not the best ones of the seriesDVD Review: Fun to watch
Summary: 3 Stars
This is not a great video, but for an old dyed-in-the-wool fan
of the Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem, it was fun to watch.
Perhaps it was a little painful, too, to see them over the distance of time, before they developed the fine edge to their
performances. Still, I'll take what I can find but their performance was way too short.
The cajun music was okay. I enjoy that genre but, again, the
band was obviously not used to being televised.
You might enjoy this if you keep the time and experience factor
in mind.
