Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Party At The Palace starts with Queen Guitarist Brian May--who looks more than ever like a haircut with a person growing from beneath it--playing "God Save The Queen" on the roof of Buckingham Palace; seemingly missing the point of his obvious inspiration, Jimi Hendrix's apocalyptic subversion of "The Star-Spangled Banner" at Woodstock. Unbelievably, and theoretically impossibly, it goes downhill from there.

It can only be assumed that the bill for the Queen's Jubilee was assembled by an ardent republican. The concert is a motley assortment of has-beens and time-wasters, a curious number of whom felt it proper to celebrate the monarch's 50 years by singing old Motown songs badly. The concert also features an extended plug for Queen's (that's the Band) risible musical We Will Rock You and Lenny Henry shouting. Bewilderingly Party At The Palace is not only redeemed, but made worth owning, by the four-song set by Brian Wilson with his version of "God Only Knows"--accompanied by Andrea Corr—-offering a heartbreakingly earnest performance. The concert ends with a pantomime version of "All You Need Is Love". Party At The Palace is the night rock & roll gave up.

On the DVD: Party at the Palace is presented in 16:9 format. Songs can be selected by title or by artist. There are subtitles in French, German and Spanish. Proceeds from the sale of the DVD, "after the deduction of costs and expenses in relation to its production and distribution", will be donated to the Queen Elizabeth II Golden Jubilee Trust. --Andrew Muller

4.0 out of 5 stars A little bit of history, 6 Jul 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Party At The Palace [DVD] [2002] (DVD)
This DVD captures a llittle bit of history.
It gives a well chosen wide range of artists, (not all to my taste but that's not the issue). To criticise performances however misses the point. The tracks span the generations and delightfully shows the rapport between the established and the up and coming. Will Young with Queen was very touching and a great track and Tom Jones with 'Kermit the frog' at the end, great fun.

Technically the sound is much improved from the quality on the night and although it cannot hope to capture the immediacy of the live performance it is worth fondly placing in your collection.

5.0 out of 5 stars Party at the Palace, 9 Jul 2002

This review is from: Party At The Palace [DVD] [2002] (DVD)
As someone who was lucky enough to be present at the concert I can say that this DVD really captures the electric atmosphere through the 3 hours. Viewers of the television broadcast will be happy to know that the audio is much improved on the DVD - all those microphones that were turned off when they should have been turned on have been edited in to give a rendition of the concert that can be treasured.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Good Memento, 9 Jul 2002
By J. Lennox "jlennox" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Party At The Palace [DVD] [2002] (DVD)
As far as I can tell this is very similar to the concert that was broadcast on the BBC, there are no 'extras' apart from the fireworks display at the end.

It would have been nice to have extras such as crowd shots, interviews with stars and behind the scenes footage.

All in all this is a nice keepsake for people who were at the concert- but it doesn't offer much more.
