Sadly Over-hyped
This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.
Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.
It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny
This show is a musician's dream! These guys are incredible, and this DVD captures them so well that it is chilling. The band is at the height of their Double Trio lineup (2 guitarists, 2 bassists, 2 drummers), and performs flawlessly. Bruford and Mastelotto play brilliantly together. The jaw-dropping double-bass solos of Trey Gunn and Tony Levin will amaze you. And the mind blowing, awe inspiring playing of guitar virtuosos' Adrian Belew and Robert Fripp is a must-see for any music fan. This concert opened up a whole new world of music for me, and it is guaranteed to do the same for you. Passion, creativity, complexity....on and on. There are double drum-, bass-, and guitar solos (single solos too, don't worry!). Some of the best (and most bizarre) music I have ever heard. Belew's singing and lyricism is extraordinary. Fripp's playing and songwriting is amazing also. For the extras, there are several tracks that have the multi-angle feature, and this is so cool because you can pretty much choose and watch a particular musician for the entire song. Also, it is a 2-sided disc, so it is nice and lengthy. The audio, unfortunately is not 5.1 and has a few problems, but sounds very good anyway, I highly recommend this DVD to any musician, or anyone that wants to see and hear incredible music! I would give it 9.9 out of 10 (and hope that they decide to re-release it eventually in 5.1 DTS or SuperBit).
