For those who were not there it is a superb showcase by some great artists,for those who witnessed it,( and I did, mingling with a celebrity audience) it is a tremendous reminder of the power and beauty of music.
Darryl Lane.
But, that's not even the best part. The artists who perform on this stage are outstanding. Phil Collins starts with a very atmospheric version of "Take Me Home" followed by a very lively version of "Hot Hot Hot" by Arrow, with a noticabely good guitar solo. Jimmy Buffetts performance is definately a low point in this DVD, but not too low. From that song on the concert hits a hugely high level of brilliance that doesn't stop. Carl Perkins rendition of "Blue Suede Shoes" is brilliant, especially when you consider his age. Mark Knopfler's contribution is my favourite - "Brothers In Arms" performed with a full orchestra and then "Money For Nothing" played with Sting & Clapton - AWESOME! Sting then plays his part in his more recent jazz style. Elton John gives a great performance with just him and piano - really great! Then comes Eric Clapton with a solo piece, then the best ever acoustic version of "Layla" - just him and Mark Knopfler. Jools Holland then adds his piano virtuosity, along with Knopfler again, in "Same Old Blues" with reaches climax after climax. Paul McCartney then enters and performs solo, "Yesterday", with no flaws whatsoever. "Golden Slumbers" is great, especially when Mark, Paul and Eric trade solos right at the end - a real highlight. All artists then join in for a never ending version of "Hey Jude", with Elton and Sting taking a verse each, and a real rocking "Kansas City" with a solo from Carl, Jools and Eric. Wonderful!
I have since heard afew songs that didn't get put on here, which is ashame as they were superbly performed, and Midge Ure doesn't get a mention at all - he just appears on stage right at the end. Another drawback is Jimmy Buffet's performance - a very average song, and he is completely outclassed by all the other artists. This should have been replaced Midge Ures unseen performance.
Apart from that - an absolutely fantastic DVD that any music lover should own!
You'll lose time with this one, the music/artists are incredible.
Starting off with Phil Collins, Arrow, (Carl Perkins, I didn't like his one and only song), followed by numerous songs from Mark Knopfler, Sting, Elton John, Eric Clapton, Paul McCartney, then the finale with all on stage.
This is well worth having in your collection, you certainly won't be waisting any money here as the artists seemed to go that little bit further with their performances as they were raising money for the recent volcano eruption in Montserrat which destroyed the island and one of the worlds most popular recording studios.
Picture and sound quality is Eagle Vision perfect as all their DVD's are.
All I wished was the concert went longer!
