Hence my excitement when Strangers was released, and what a treat it is! You can choose to watch the documentary or just the live stuff which is useful, even if the menu's are a little confusing at first. The interviews with the band confirmed my opinion that they are a bunch of sensitive, talented and intelligent musicians capable of writing such beautiful songs that you wonder how a band that look so young could possibly write such mature material. Hearing the wondrous ballads 'On a day like today' and 'She has no time' live, is a moving experience indeed. The performances are all great, especially the rousing renditions of 'Bend and break' and 'Everybody's changing' at the Wireless festival. There is a nice mix in this DVD of the smaller intimate gigs throught to the bigger festival type gigs. This is nicely portrayed in the compilation of 'Bedshaped' which progresses from a back room studio rendition through to pub gig, small venue and culminating in a full blown festival performance. (Although it would have been good if they had included a single performance of Bedshaped so as to fully appreciate it).
The sound isn't at all compromised live, as backing tapes provide the bass and keyboard parts. Tom sings like an angel and has a very accomplished voice, and he manages to hit all the high notes pretty well. Richard's great drum patterns are crisp and precise, and Tim's piano playing is so accomplished, that all the songs sound pretty much like the record with the added freshness of being live, which in my book is the mark of a good live band.
A great DVD. If you like Keane, you'll love this!
The production company should hang their heads in shame for spoiling what is otherwise great material by trying to be arty. They have instead created something which is almost unusable. I still have not found the videos for Everybodys Changing, and Somewhere we Belong... and they were the reasons I bought it.
I gave 2 stars because I love this band and their music. The DVD is the worst I have ever come across...
Imagine if you have 2 discs worth of material... that's great you think, but instead of docs on one, videos on the other - they decide to do something else - half of everything on one disc - half on the other: mistake 1. So supposedly you want to watch some videos - first you have to look at the packaging to find out which disc you want - then put that in.
Now suppose you want to actually watch a music video - simple you'd think - find out which disc it's on and play it - but no, there's no link to it. You go to the menu and there's only the concert (half of it) and the doc (half of it)... the music videos (and you double check the box to check they (some of them) really are on this disc - are literally "hidden" only accessible by watching the documentary to the right point - and hitting the right button.
PS. the documentary is pretty annoying too - it starts badly with some fool wondering if he's turned the camera on - not a pro, just a mate of his... result a terrible DVD.
They take my breath away in this magic performance.
Must have for everyone that likes Keane!
