Format:DVD
"Hurrah!" presents the Scissor Sisters live in London in 2007 as only Hamish Hamilton can in his quest to get a DVD directed by him on your high street every Christmas between now and the end of the world. "Hurrah!" therefore, features the usual high quality/high saturation, style intensive jumpcuts, where you can tell something is happening - but not quite what. The main attraction is a 90 minute concert filmed at London's o2 Arena. Since I was at the shows, I can confirm that yes, the Scissor Sisters in person live are a great, brash, silly proposition that straddle the thin line between ridiculous and brilliant. As a band, they are an outlandish, stylish proposition that manage to weld the sincerity and pomp of any stadium act with the inherently preposterous nature of mainstream entertainment, and the fact that any openly gay act is clearly already an outsider unless they are sidelined to the fringes of being a patronised, safe harmless token Gay. Curious. But forget that, and lets go dancing : because The Scissor Sisters music is one where you put on your red shoes and dance away the blues. Because it could all end tomorrow.
Thankfully, it feels more like a greatest hits set than just another show on the tour. There's no obvious songs missing from the collection - and everything seems both immensely danceable and sounds vital, bright, and exciting - just like Pop Music at its apex should. The rest of the package contains a thoroughly odd hour long documentary that details what fame is like - sort of - in the Scissor Sisters own, rather flippant approach to life, four promos, an acoustic show, and a concert CD. Overall, it's a good value set which should see most Scissor Sisters fans happy and sated until album#3 comes out whenever that will be.

This dvd is AMAZING! A must for any scissor sisters fan or people who just love to have unadulterated fun!!! The concent is an absolute spectacle of extravagance and debauchery, basically the scissor sisters aroma, bottled and sold.

This is a great item for fans of the band! I was surprised at the rather good quality poster included - had it framed last week; not many artists care for this kind of addition these days. The show itself is now a bit dated as the drummer left the band and a new album is out (AND Jake Shears is now twice as buff), but still, it makes for a couple of fun hours. The documentary is hilarious and there are a LOT of extras, including all the Ta-Dah videos in excellent picture quality. Big package, this one!

DVD Scissor Sister Hurrah, A Year Of Ta-Dah.
I like very much the direct in O2 Arena, but I think the sound of the videoclips has a lot low quality. Read more

Having seen the Scissor Sisters 3 times now, and knowing just how great they are live, I thought I would write a review. I was at the 02 the night they filmed and it was amazing. Read more
