What Music DVDs Have You Seen Recently?

The music dvd's i've picked up in the last couple of months.

A mixed bag of genres for sure.

I remember discussing the Emperor dvd with Nordy a couple of years ago, then forgetting to check out my basket and the price rising from £2 to £10 overnight. I eventually picked it up at the end of October.

The Gretchen Wilson disc was very interesting. I thought it was an in concert set but it isn't. Apparently after every show she and her band have an acoustic jam session back stage where the support or any musical guests hanging around can join in. It only lasts an hour or so but is fascinating. Very organic, warm and friendly. Anyone who's into country music or acoustic music in general should appreciate it.

My wave of nostalgia got me digging out these two dvds,although not true live dvds they both have enough live footage to be crucial viewings.Its hard to recommend Rude Boy on its merits as a film,but the actual Clash footage is superb and a reminder of the there greatness.
The Great Rock n Roll swindle,again hardly a great film (see Julien Temple's The Filth And The Fury) but entertaining never the less,any film that has Steve Jones call Irene Handl a C@#T has much appeal,that and the live footage,the film itself is a train crash of a movie but when has that stopped any of us watching.When I first saw the film back in the days of Betamax I wallowed in the swearing and funny cartoons,now re-watching it again i still chuckle at the cartoons and swearing but now the ending kind makes me sad,no film should end with an obituary.Still thats what I get for still wearing skinny jeans in my forties.

Post a pic Ron of you in your skinny jeans, can't be any worse than Dem in his spandex.

Not watched it for some time but it's one of the videos I've clung on to as it came all the way from the states many years ago, but it is now on YouTube, of course.

Shocking camera work.

Apparently Russ Meyer was supposed to direct a film with the Sex Pistols entitled 'Who Killed Bambi' from a script by Roger Ebert and Pistols' manager Malcolm McLaren.

"Who Killed Bambi?" - A screenplay | Roger Ebert's Journal | Roger Ebert

It would certainly have been a different movie!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wasn't some of it filmed? I'm sure I have seen a clip with Sting in it.

Sting's appearance I cannot comment on, but Ebert says that one-and-a-half days worth of filming took place, but it was halted when 20th Century Fox, who were shocked by what they read in the script, pulled the funding

Yes, tis in The Filth & The Fury.

I also had Michael Moorcock's "novelisation" of TGR&RS. Twas a hoot, and I would literally kill Sting to reclaim it...

Just saying!!

RUSH: Clockworks Angels Tour

It's a good DVD, BUT...as far as I'm concerned, it really only came alive during the last 20 minutes or so, when they played some old stuff - "YYZ", "The Spirit of Radio", "Tom Sawyer" and the "2112" medley

Other than that, there was too much 'new' material, and not enough of the older classics
