In Reply to: Best DVD picks of the year: posted by Audiophilander on December 26, 2004 at 10:12:38:
For the music DVD's I have to go with the new Los Lobos @ the Fillmore and the expanded/remastered Grateful Dead Movie.Festival Express was cool too, but I really can't see myself watching it more than once, even though I love most of those artists.
Follow Ups:
how much of the DVD is performance, and how much is talking heads and "stuff"? any really good performance footage?am wondering if it's worth a rental or purchase (like an album would be). thanks.

Today, with all the hard competition in the music business, it's almost impossible to come up with anything totally original. So we haven't. However, this disc was made with the accent on heavy music.
From memory, I'd say about 1/2 the movie is concert footage and the other half is the muscians hanging out on the train, drinking and jamming. Its cool to see them talking with each other and doing some improv jamming, but its quite loose and informal and prolly not something you'd want to view repeatedly. Most of the bands are shown on stage doing one tunes, but two or three of the bands get a pair of tunes. There is some extra footage on the DVD of bands on stage also. (I thought the best footage was the Dead doing Hard to Handle, which is part of this extra footage.)FWIW I rented it and enjoyed it, but I can't see myself wanting to see it again.
