5.0 out of 5 stars Not quite what a previous reviewer might have you believe..., 3 Nov 2008
By The Spanish Amanda (Sunny Brentford) - See all my reviews
I'd like to take issue with the previous reviewer... who ends his review by advising us to avoid this DVD if we're not already Robyn Hitchcock fans. Well, d'uh. I don't think I'm being overly picky, here, by suggesting that this goes without saying... in the same way that someone reviewing a Slayer album wouldn't necessarily *need* to tell people that Slayer might only really appeal to people "who already had a vague liking for heavy metal".

Assuming that you *are* a Robyn fan, then, I think you'll find loads to like in Storefront Hitchcock. Much of the between-song banter is top-notch Hitchcock whimsy, and versions of songs such as "No, I Don't Remember Guildford" are... well, they're just *lovely*. And if you don't find the visuals inspiring, then just listen to it. You won't regret it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Entertaining and innovative, 28 May 2009
A fan project by Hitchcock admirer Demme, this is an interesting attempt to push the boundaries of the concert film. Good performances and Robyn's surreal stories keep it engaging throughout. I've knocked off one star as I think a couple of good songs are missing that might have enhanced the set - apparently Hitchcock and Demme had to negotiate as each had different favourites they wanted to include.
This is just what he's like live!

2.0 out of 5 stars Dull concert film, 18 Aug 2008
By Andres C. Salama (Buenos Aires, Argentina) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
English singer songwriter Robyn Hitchcock (no relation to Sir Alfred) became a cult performer in the 1980s through the American college radio circuit. He made during that time some good, though perhaps overrated, records. Their lyrics were odd and eccentric, the music somewhat reminiscent of the rock of the late 60s (Pink Floyd legendary founder Syd Barrett is a name that came up in many profiles about him). In 1998, he decided to make a concert film, directed by none other than Jonathan Demme, who has directed the Talking Heads' widely acclaimed concert film Stop Making Sense. Unfortunately, this movie is really disappointing, almost as dull as it can possibly be. There is a single camera fixing its lens at an uninspired Robyn blurting out his songs with an acoustic guitar in a stage set in a deserted shop (thus the title, I guess). There is no audience inside, but wee see the people on the street outside passing by, occasionally stopping and looking what is going on inside. The songs are punctuated by some unfunny and rambling comments by Robyn. Unless you are a committed Robyn fan, you can safely avoid this.
