Movie Reviews of Alison Krauss & Union Station Live (Jewel Case)
Movie Review: That's how a concert should be recorded on DVD !
Summary: 5 Stars
That's it!. That's exactly how a "concert on DVD" should be!. I'll talk later about the contents, but first the technical details: Outstanding high definition image (16:9 -yes!-) enhanced by the theatre and scenario settings and lights. Impeccable sound (DD, DTS or PCM), you can distinctly hear every single instrument and voices, as well as the spectators "noise" without being bothering at all. No stupid region coding (hey, that's important for some of us!), and best of all, it's a true concert, from the beginning to the end (or it seems so), without interruptions with interviews or captions of the musician's family life: you also have this but in a separate disk, as it should always be. This way you can seat and relax with the twenty three songs, just as if you were at the show. It's even better because the close-up takes are excellent (not a solo is missed), and these are worth seeing it !.
The accompanying disc contains the usual interviews with band members about their background and contribution, and even about their instruments, which is great (pity they forgot to ask Ron Block about his guitar, does anybody knows what is it?) as well as some nice footage of the band while travelling and rehearsing.
Can it be any better ?, well, hardly, but for us, non-English speakers, English subtitles would be most welcome.
Now, about the artistic merits of this edition, I'll assume that if you're considering buying it is because you like AKUS, in which case it won't deceive you. The performance is exceptional. Every member of this band is a top musician, they deserved to be heared separately and when they play together something clicks for the best (in this sense it's the same as with Crosby Stills and Nash, my favorite band of all times). Alison's voice is flawless, she don't miss a note or try to avoid it, and she's great when presenting each member (great surprise to see Larry Atamanuik, an ex-Emmylou Harris' Nash Ramblers at the drums) Ron Block, Dan Tyminski, Barry Bales, they're all great, ...and Jerry Douglas is a genius.
To the people at Rounder (the editors of this DVD): Great Job!!! More like this !!!
