4.0 out of 5 stars Unexpectedly superb 6 Mar 2012
Format:DVD
I was initially loaned this by a good friend, who kindly dropped it to me while I was unwell. I watched it out of loyalty to him - typically, I find tributes to be worthy, but too sentimental - mawkish even, inevitably featuring a 'house band' where even the best musicians struggle to present a long programme of music with limited rehearsal time. I know it's against the spirit of it, but still, in a strictly musical sense this does not always make for the best viewing and listening.

However, a number of performances on here (not all) are delivered with a mighty intensity, standing tall on their own merit, as well as contributing to a good cause. In particular, the performances by Gary Moore, Joe Walsh, Pete Townshend, followed by Yusuf Islam, Steve Winwood and Paul Weller - pretty much in that order, are the standouts for me.

Moore's paint-stripping, excoriating version of Evil Love is jaw-dropping and really worth the price of admission on its own. I subsequently bought my own copy just to have that performance to hand!

5.0 out of 5 stars Terrific tribute to the late Jim Capaldi - and a good fundraiser to boot 18 Dec 2007
By bass boy - Published on Amazon.com
Format:DVD
A very strong tribute concert in honor of the late Jim Capaldi's time with Traffic and as a strong solo artist.
I agree that I wish Steve Winwood spent more time on stage, as well as Pete Townshend (Townshend couldn't rehearse with the all-star band because of The Who's "Endless Wire" tour, but turns in a stunning solo piece, "No Name, No Face, No Number." A great take.
Nice to see Bill Wyman on stage again, for a couple tunes, and Simon Kirke's voice and drumming are another highlight. Love Paul Weller, too.
Proceeds from this DVD and the CD of the same show go toward a benefit in Capaldi's name - his widow, Anna Capaldi, has an orphanage for children that takes care of youngsters in need of medical help, food and love.
I strongly recomend this DVD to all fans of rock, Traffic, Jim Capaldi, Winwood, The Who and all of the other artists who participated. It'll help out children in need, and it will honor the late, great Jim Capaldi. Thanks.

5.0 out of 5 stars Smiling Phases 21 Dec 2008
By County Lineman - Published on Amazon.com
Format:DVD
This is not only a salute to the brilliance of the late Jim Capaldi; it is a wonderful look at artists who truly believe that music can deliver special meaning for the young who are in need. The concert was held in January 2007 and covers the solo and Traffic careers of Capaldi, while raising funds for The Landmark Trust, a children's charity.

There is an incredible list of performers - including Paul Weller, Joe Walsh, Pete Townshend, Steve Winwood, Jon Lord, Gary Moore, Simon Kirke and Yusuf Islam - and each are given the space to shine. Truly, any egos are left at the door.

Capaldi was an artful lyricist, but is a vastly underrated drummer, who skillfully brought jazz elements to the British music scene. This is classic rock that is truly "classic."

4.0 out of 5 stars Jim Capaldi was low key legend 2 Oct 2008
By George John - Published on Amazon.com
Format:DVD
When watching and listening to these songs covered by some very competent musos, you soon realise how great that Capaldi-Winwood collaboration was.
It is a pity that "Coloured Rain" and "Smiling Phases" weren't included.
Nevetheless, a great buy.
