Movie Reviews of Big Country: Without the Aid of a Safety Net
Movie Review: A Perfect Concert DVD
Summary: 5 Stars
Big Country were one of the most under-appreciated bands of the rock era, and if you want proof of this, just pick up this excellent live DVD and see them at the top of their game. Recorded in Glasgow, Scotland's Barrowlands Ballroom in front of a rabid hometown crowd, this concert shows a band that had been around long enough to give a very polished, professional rock & roll show, while still retaining the energy and passion that made their early concerts so memorable. The first five songs are acoustic performances, giving an earthy, authentic folk-rock feel to classics like "Chance", "Harvest Home", "13 Valleys", and "The Storm". The electric portion of the set kicks off in fine fashion with "Look Away", which has never sounded better, and includes rousing versions of "Wonderland", "Steeltown", and several songs from the Buffalo Skinners LP which sound far better live than they ever did in the studio.
If you think "In A Big Country" was the only good song this band ever recorded, this DVD will be a real eye-opener.
