Lets get one thing straight, i adore cinerama/WP. Please read my review of "This is Cinerama" for evidence of that.
This however is tosh. Its so bad its good! I sat shaking my head in disbelief. The previous video "*punk" was very good Dave doing what he is best at i.e playing live, end of story!
This tries to be a sort of documentary which drives you insane with its annoying dated production techniques. Know the pop video technique where you zoom throught the streets of a city at a million miles an hour? well you get this not just once but several times as the band go in the van from gig to gig. Then we are riveted by the site of the band setting up their equipment NOT! Things start to look up when they start to play live, but alas, we then get slow dowm images and the sound reverts to the CD version of the song or even another song which is pointless and very irritating. The best bit however is when Dave takes us though is record collection. It has to be seen to be believed! It actually films him putting on the most obscure records you could imagine. Try an album full of different countries national anthems for starters! :¬)
I have never seen such a poorly produced video, some of it left me severely embarrased
I hate critising Dave because i love his music so much. But its a bit like a girl that loves her boyfriend but still tells him he looks an idiot when he dances, Well this is me telling Dave to get off the dancefloor!

Cinerama's Get Up and Go is an enjoyable little flick! More of a giant music video set to the whole album the shots and quick-cut editing goes well with Gedge's unique sound. If you like David Gedge, like Cinerama youll defo love this. Even if you dont its pretty entertaining. A visual feast set to great music! Get it you may love it I do!

Utter waste of time... don't purchase
19 Jan 2006
Format:Audio CD
As a long-time fan of TWP and Cinerama, this sounds like a great idea. What could be cooler than seeing a behind the scenes look at the band on tour? Watching this documentary (if it can be called that) was painful. The only redeeming moments were an acoustic version of Corduroy and some quick interviews with Gedge in the special features section. Why those were not included in the film is beyond me. The film itself is meaningless. Every so often, it seemed like they would actually show the band playing live, but they never did. If I am purchasing this DVD, chances are that I already own (and regularly listen to) Cinerama studio albums. They were obviously recording during the live performances, why not use that footage for the film? The sound quality was also very poor. I want my time back.

oh man. what a pointless dvd.
28 Dec 2004
Format:Audio CD
don't bother unless you're some obsessed fan. painfully boring. there should be a warning label on the package that clearly states that the dvd contains NO real concert footage with live sound. there's one acoustic performace of Corduroy that's worth hearing, but that's it. The rest of this is just Tim Middlewick's semi-artsy attempt to make a video-collage using random cinerama tour footage set to the studio recordings of Torino. uh, okay.. it wouldn't even be that bad of an idea if they included audio of the band members interacting and tried to create any sort of coherent story out of the mess, but they don't. the music makes the random footage seem overly sentimal- but since nothing actually happens throughout the course of the documentary, it feels horribly forced. no band members say a word except for david gedge, and most of his dialogue is limited to small talk about equipment or songs. there's one short interview towards the end that isn't completely trite, and there's a "quaint" scene where he thumbs through his record collection and talks about his influences, but there's nothing new here for anyone who already owns cinerama and knows what david gedge looks like. c'mon. go buy it. waste your money.
