Movie Reviews of Billy Cobham: Glass Menagerie
Movie Review: The Glass Menagerie let their hair down
Summary: 5 Stars
Before I start, I should mention that the track listing both on the DVD case and in the menus is wrong. Despite what they say, Moon Germs is NOT featured on this release. The actual track order is:
01. AC/DC (not A.L.D.L. as listed)
02. Flight Time
03. Vanessa
04. Crosswind
05 & 06. All Hallows Eve (for some reason this song is split into 2 chapters, right after Mike Stern's solo)
07. Total Eclipse
08. Mendocino
09. Wrapped in a Cloud
10. Brooze
Cobham starts off this live set by jokingly commenting on "Polivideo's version of rent an audience", and while there is a small audience, the applause between tracks was clearly dubbed on afterwards. Thankfully this is amusing rather than annoying. Many of the songs on this DVD contain extended solos by some (or in some cases all) of the musicians, giving the show a fun, "jam back at the house" kind of feel. They really let go, and the individual styles of the different members become apparent. Mike Stern's solo contributions can become a tad repetitive, as he seems to resort to the same musical themes regardless of which song is being played, but this is made up for somewhat by the energy he brings to the table.
Overall this is a solid concert, with exceptional musicianship all round. Any fan of Cobham should not hesitate to pick this one up.
