Synopsis

Charting the band's success from their humble beginnings in 1997 to the present day. Live performances. Tracklist includes 'Sunshine', 'Somewhere Only We Know', 'Can't Stop Now' and many more. 16 tracks in total.


Product Description

'Strangers' tells the story of Tom Chaplin, Tim Rice-Oxley and Richard Hughes, who formed Keane in '97 at school in Sussex, did their first gig in '98, signed a record deal in 2003, released their debut album 'Hopes & Fears' in 2004 and went on to conquer the world with a voice, a piano and a set of drums. The film charts Keane's musical progression from a four-piece guitar band to the three-piece piano-based group that they've become today, and shows how they went on from playing tiny gigs on the UK pub circuit, to winning 2 Brits awards and selling nearly 5 million albums around the world.

This 2 DVD set features a 1 hour behind the scenes film of the band on the road, 16 live performances, 2 photo galleries, 6 promo videos, 2 'making of' videos, various concert visuals and Richards kitchen sink, all of which adds up to a must-have for any self-respecting Keane fan.

5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding!, 29 Nov 2005
By C. Page "cozza1969" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Keane really have got it made. An original sound and an ability to create beautifully crafted songs that last in the memory. Indeed it's a testament to the quality of their material, that they have had such success on the back of one album. I still haven't tired of listening to Hopes and Fears, and everyone in my family loves their stuff, from my parents down to my four year old daughter, all which only goes to prove you can't beat a good melody! I have seen Keane perform live on TV a few times but was keen (excuse the pun) to see more.

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!

2.0 out of 5 stars Great band, appalling DVD, 9 Jan 2006
By Mr (Mirfield, West Yorkshire United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
I love Keane and their great music and so was pleased when they released this DVD. However it is absolutely blighted by an awful menu system. Instead of providing a standard top level menu and sub menus, you have to sit though the documentary and wait for sub menus to pop up from time to time. If you just want to watch the videos you are stuffed because you have to sit through the documentary and wait for the menu you want to pop up somewhere before you can access what you want.

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...

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Insight into the band, 8 Feb 2006
By Mrs. M. D. Smithers (SE England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This DVD , while being a bit confusing menu-wise, gives a beautiful behind the scenes look at the best band around. The footage of the boys as youngsters is magical ! I have watched this DVD again and again. One not-to-be-missed bit is the rendition of a U2 song on Dermot O'Leary's radio show.
Tom Chaplin has one of the strongest voices around at this time,and one of the biggest smiles!
