4.0 out of 5 stars Great Music, extremely rewarding, 27 April 2005
By 
Jake Rodin (Hadera, Israel Israel) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Charlatans-Live at Last [DVD] (DVD)
Living in Israel, one of my dreams was to go and see a decent music gig (I mean, none of those U2/Madonna/Phil Collins mega-shows). We rarely got bands like Radiohead, Suede (when they were alive), Supergrass and such. So getting this DVD was the next best thing- and I'm glad I did.

The band plays like a well-tuned instrument. There are hardly any moments of a musician getting out-of-tune and when they do occur, they're insignificant. One of the things that strike you watching this DVD, is how accomplished musicians they all are. For instance, Jon Brookes (the drummer) shines here, as he is free of any studio-recording limitations that mostly cramped his style. Tony Rogers (the keyboardist) also turns out to be a competent replacement to the late-great Rob Collins. As a long-time Charlatans fan, it was always etched in my mind that Collins was better, mainly because it was delivered by the (older) studio material. But here, Rogers gets his chance to show off what he knows, and he doesn't blow it. The rest are doing fine work, hitting the nail on the head every song (of which there are many, covering every studio album the band has recorded bar "Up to our hips").
As for the technical side, the image is good, without too much of those "arty" shots, although it does get blurry and fuzzy sometimes; it seems they wanted you to feel as if you were there- well, as much as possible. Also, the sound quality is as expected, with a choice between 2 ch' Stereo and 5.1 Dolby.

So why only four stars? It's the singer... Pains me to say this (as one of the reasons I love the Charlatans is for Tim Burgess's voice), but I promised myself to be objective; It's not that he's bad, far from it. It just seems as though he's getting to that stage in every rock-singer's career, when the mountain of cigarettes and alcohol has caught up. The problem is that he's not able to be as powerful as the band, and because the music is mostly rock-ish, it can bother to some extent. An example to that can clearly be viewed during "A man needs to be told" which is a laid-back song. Suddenly, Tim is right up with the band, sounding great.

My opinion? All the more reason to buy this DVD, before his voice dies completely. And besides, it really is great music, delivered by a band unlike any other- after all, nobody plays the Charlatans' music better than the Charlatans...

5.0 out of 5 stars WORTH THE WAIT!, 19 May 2006

This review is from: Charlatans-Live at Last [DVD] (DVD)
At long last the most underrated group of the last 15yrs release a reflection of their greatest work.Taking in all but "up to our hips"(Crashin in?)this DVD truly encapsulates the groups experiments and continued improvement.Great photography reveals the magnetism of Tim Burgess and shows a truly intense group of fine musicians-John Brookes a particular highlight-drumming as though his life depended on it!Watch this, and realise why The Guardian once called them Britians best live group.
