Customer Reviews


The Queen: Rock Montreal & Live Aid Blu-ray is a fantastic film that captures the dynamic energy that arises when the queen was played in concert. I Live Aid Live Aid (Viewed 4 Disc set off set) and that was one of those shows that are seminal in the history of live rock on (next to Santana and Sly & The Family Stone and Janis Joplin at Woodstock and Monterey) that is included in this set, as well.

Montreal concert is just great and had a lot to do withCharismatic, talented and flamboyant frontman Freddie Mercury over. Mercury sings, plays guitar, piano and microphone and prancing around on stage as he whips a crowd into a frenzy! He went through some minor changes costume, in true diva fashion, finally appears in hot pants and bare feet. Gotta love Freddy!

The picture quality is excellent and the camera is excellent. Even on the "Live Aid" set, the image is pretty strong but not yethas used the phenomenon of "microphany (Forward stripes horizontal stripes in some parts of the film on some cameras, close-up during appearances at Live Aid in the United Kingdom were present) describe, but do not interfere with vision.

Queen played two concerts and was close to Mercury in great achievements and her beautiful voice to promote public Sing-A-Long.

Here is an arrest of the instrument:

* 25:11 minutes - LIVE AID SET -
includesPerformance of "Is This The World We created" which was carried out in the night. I do not remember if this included in the DVD box set of Live Aid was, but it's a great performance as well.

* 10.56 minutes to watch - LIVE AID REHEARSAL
behind the scenes at Queen tests and an interview. It 's funny because the reporter states that the show Queen for their "fantastic live performances with light, unusual objects and scenery is well known," etc., and asks, "because they are not able to do so,Live Aid, have the same effect / success? 'Well, the queen more than proved it did not need props to blow away the audience.

* 6:46 minutes - 1982 interview of PM MAGAZINE
The picture quality is grainy and the volume is low, but it's nice to see this old show. This is essentially a profile of the band and an intro for each member.

Blu-Ray comes with a small booklet with color photos and credits.

If you liverock concerts, then this is definitely a must. Will not be disappointed, and is the best thing to actually being there. I could also recommend Woodstock: 3 Days of Peace & Music Director's Cut (40th Anniversary Ultimate Collector's Edition Amazon Exclusive Bonus Disc) and the aforementioned Live Aid (4 Disc Set), which not only movies big concert, but also documentaries on likely the two greatest concerts of the last century.

Clouds Specifications


Joni Mitchell's second album contains the first manifestations of her artistic brilliance. Where her debut, Song to a Seagull, has hints of greatness, Clouds displays the real thing. With her newfound control on melody and lyrical economy, she delivers songs that are readily accessible, instantly hummable, and virtually timeless. Her hippie excesses are still in view ("Songs to Aging Children Come" is untamed), but, for the most part, she has found her voice. "Both Sides Now" has become a lite-FM staple (thanks to Judy Collins's cover). While songs such as the incredibly idyllic "Tin Angel" (nicely covered by Tom Rush on his classic Circle Game), "Chelsea Morning," and "I Don't Know Where I Stand" have become modern folk standards. --Rob O'Connor

Customer Reviews


This is Joni Mitchell's second album, a harbinger of things to come, will present its range, even if the economy of words and texts. Most people are familiar with "Both Sides Now", or more precisely Judy Collins delivery of this classic song. Joni Mitchell's version is compelling and emotionally, before the display of the joy of his talent. The texts recall the traditional folk rock 60s, while the various allusions to the style of Joni on display on more complete album later.


It 'also good that the CD that came with the original album cover as well.

Escape (Exp) (Dig) (Spkg)







Escape (Exp) (Dig) (Spkg) Overview


Living up to the moniker originally given them via a San Francisco radio contest, Journey traveled a restless, often less-than-promising arc as a prog-centric quartet during the early '70s. But the addition of Steve Perry's soaring tenor to the mix on 1978's Infinity instantly changed the band's fortunes, which arguably peaked on this 1981 release. While Neal Schon's lyrical guitar work remained a staple, it was Perry's unabashedly mainstream pop ballad sensibilities that carried the album to the top of the charts and multiplatinum sales via its trio of era-defining hit singles, "Who's Crying Now," "Don't Stop Believing," and "Open Arms." --Jerry McCulley


Customer Reviews


This album for me is the best, they also respond with "Infinity", but "Escape" is a rock ballad, and CD, which came early '80s that was not the hair band stuff, but overall is quite like all the better if near enough to hear.

Today can be like a "Guilty Pleasure" Perhaps because of their commercial attraction to young girls, women and men who were perhaps not really Metal, but somewhere between. I think, travelmy sister some guys attractive, accessible songs, songs with catchy hooks and melody that has shaken enough to annoy your parents but had this lush ballads that made her faint. After many years, for me, they appeal to a wider range than I can remember, and when you consider all the hair bands played the second half of year 80 is the same and have been painfully obvious, to give a chance to an initial glimpse of the journey, as it should be conducted, and in '81 he founded the model placesBallad of Rock and Cd. UFO had a band like this fund, including Scorpions back before, and all had their own sound. Travel has a good dose of melody, which is standard in hard rock. Perhaps they were a little 'softer your average 80's rock hard, but it's time to hear a CD jam fun to have this is not a fill line only here, and my songs fav are not usually single, apparently , and lesser-known songs.

Fav song of all time, the band is herein "Stone In Love", a song classic route, hard rock, guitar solos, lots of melody. FAV Aanother the title track "Escape" and rocks a lot with "Lay It Down," "Dead Or Alive" and "On Runnin '" Keep, and I like one of the three ballads "Still laughing." And 'many radio single with "Do not Stop Believin'," "Open Arms" (another ballad) and "Who's Crying Now" (ballad). The three received the most attention, and if you like maybe you should check theat the songs on to their travel better. Steve Perry could sing well, so it's not as hard rock's commercial today, where all sounds as if they were forced against the drummer for the band, my apoligies Dave Grohl ... But is it true?

Also the title Live in Houston are a nice addition to the latest new release. This CD is a must, not just for fans of the journey, but an avid rock hard for me, blame them comfortable, but very good, in that place and much better than anything elsethe late '80s hard rock clones. The Beatles had the Beach Boys melody also, but at this point where it really starts in a tone more difficult to get back to me the natural progression is to a band like Journey, Boston, perhaps even with the short stroke. I personally like Ratt, Dokken, Van Halen, Motley Crue, Hanoi Rocks and some names along with travel, and finally, Jane's Addiction, Saigon Kick, Extreme, Kings X, it all comes back to this CD in my advancedI think it is influential, even if nobody wants to admit a lot out there.

Release Me







Release Me Overview


2010 sophomore release from the all-female Pop/Rock quartet. Collectively their mission was to create the lost 60's girl group record of their dreams, and yours. With a little help from Mark Ronson, Alex Greenwald, and the soul and studio sophistication of Dap-Kings Tommy Brenneck and Homer Steinweiss, The Like have happened upon a sure classic. After years on the road with the likes of Arctic Monkeys, Kings Of Leon and Muse, they're finally back with Release Me. It's a record about being heartbroken and breaking hearts, years of feverish living, harebrained schemes, and raving-mad relationships, testing boundaries and breaking them all down. In short, it's about growing up!


Customer Reviews


I'm a fan of such since 2005, and bought his first album as soon as I found out about them. While his first album is great, and I can not tell you how many times have I, "played" Release Me, "almost a completely different level. The songwriting, instrumentation, vocals and impeccable production of all, and they were able to re-sound of the '60s who were trying to create. I usually further enhance the strengths, but the whole album is excellent, and you do notloving, you're probably mentally ill or have terrible taste. So go ahead, buy it now, it will soon become one of your favorite albums, I promise!

Shrek - Music From the Original Motion Picture







Shrek - Music From the Original Motion Picture Overview


Like The Muppet Show or The Simpsons, Shrek is tiered with visual appeal, fantasy, and sophisticated humor that appeals to children and adults on two mutually exclusive levels. Judging by the soundtrack alone, there is some genuine emotion coming from this movie; Rufus Wainwright, the Proclaimers, and especially the Eels all pen winsome, longing tunes. Dana Glover's "It Is You (I Have Loved)" represents the soundtrack's requisite glossy ballad, but it's better than most, and John Powell's climactic, orchestral "True Love's First Kiss" makes one wish there was a full score to accompany this soundtrack. On the flip side, Smash Mouth cover the Monkees' "I'm a Believer" with a groovy treatment of crunchy hip-hop beats, and Leslie Carter (sister of Aaron and Nick) gives a perky performance on the Britney-esque "Like Wow!" The soundtrack squeezes the last drops of juice from the overplayed Smash Mouth hit "All Star," but other than that, it strikes a great balance between cute-but-not-precious pop hits, and more grown-up songs that are well within reach of young ears. --Beth Massa


Customer Reviews


I bought this mainly for sdtk Track # 10, a cover of Leonard Cohen "halleujah. When I heard in the film, I knew I mp3'ed. What I did. Apart from this, there is no way that I thought that the tempeted button push foward on my Discman. Apart from this, is the sdtk perfect for background music.
