Video Description

On October 2nd 2006 Katie Melua performed a concert at the
bottom of the North Sea. This 66 minute documentary film tells the story of
that performance - from the conception of the dream by the gas platform
manager, the planning, Katie and her band's rigorous safety training, the
behind the scene logistics of moving 22 tonnes of equipment from land to
the bottom of the rig - and concludes with some footage of the actual
concert.

A stunning (and at times claustrophobic!) viewing experience, this exciting
non-fiction film shot in and off the coast of Norway sees world superstar
Katie Melua rising to a challenge. Invited by Statoil, the gas drilling
company, to celebrate their 10th anniversary on the biggest man-made
structure ever moved on Earth, Katie (after checking their environmental
record) agreed to perform on the North Sea floor at the foot of a leg of
the enormous drilling platform, thereby incidentally setting the Guinness
World record for the deepest underwater concert ever performed - 303 metres
below the sea.

The event was certainly a logistical challenge - 16 helicopters and 3
supply ships transported 22 tonnes of equipment plus crew the event and TV
production crew numbered 33 with Katie and her band and crew totalling 10.

In addition to the documentary film the DVD includes the following extras:

Katie: The Interview
Additional to the film of Katie Melua's undersea concert is a new interview
describing the adventure

`It's Only Pain' - the promo video. (Plus photo montage)
The previously unavailable promotional video of `It's Only Pain', shot at
the derelict theatre at Alexandra Palace, together with a beautiful montage
of shots taken by renowned photographer Jo de Banzie during the `making of'
the film'

`Shy Boy' - the promo video
This live video was filmed on Katie's 2007 tour.

`Singing In The Rain'
Interview with Katie plus footage of Katie and her band in Tampa, Florida
as they try to make the best of a very wet situation when a topical storm
hits their soundcheck - complete with torrential rain, wind and lightning.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Documentary,, 31 May 2007
By J. Yeow "darkspark88" - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
I've only watched this DVD sporadically, but it seems to consist of the main documentary, of which 33-50% is spent showing how the performance was set up, and the journey to the depths of the Ocean floor. The rest is Katie's performance. The scale of the operation is really emphasised.

She sounds amazing as always, yet the environment creates a strange echo which resides throughout the whole performance, nothing the sound technicians could do about that I guess.

It is a bit short and whilst there are a few extras, Promo videos to watch, it's not a DVD you will probably repeatedly watch, nor does it give the length of the "On the Road" DVD.

Yet for fans, this is unlikely to matter.
