Movie Reviews of Bob Mould: Circle of Friends - Live at the 9:30 Club
Movie Review: Excellent DVD!
Summary: 5 Stars
Saw this tour live in Chicago and was eagerly anticipating the DVD. Such a great blend of old and new music. I've seen Bob and Sugar on many occasions and have to say this was my favorite show since Hüsker Dü in 1987. This DVD release absolutely does the live show justice.
The video editing and sound quality are top notch. I was concerned that the sound quality might not hit the mark since the last, newly produced punk concert DVD purchase was "Bad Religion - Live at the Paladium", and even though it is an excellent DVD, their are issues with the audio balance that detract from the overall experience. Not the case here - the audio on "Circle of Friends" is pristine.
The only reason I gave this 5 stars is because I couldn't give it 6. "Circle of Friends" is a MUST HAVE for any Bob/Sugar/Hüsker Dü fan.
Movie Review: Happy Bob!
Summary: 5 Stars
I've seen Bob Mould live around a dozen times. I missed this tour as I had newborn twins in 2005, so I am glad to see this DVD release. Anyone who's seen Bob Mould live knows that his performances are usually very serious. Even during acoustic shows, when he would be prone to between-song discussions with the audience, once the song started, it was a furious onslaught.
This show has those types of moments, but he also SMILES! LOTS! You can see he's happy to be playing Husker Du songs w/ a band again. This is definitely a must-own for all Bob Mould fans.
Movie Review: These songs don't age.
Summary: 5 Stars
Hard to add much to the previous review. The songs are incredible, the performances phenomenal. Moreover, the production of this DVD is probably the best I've ever seen for a concert DVD: multiple, clear angles and great sound. Brendan Canty is an amazing addition to Bob's band. Plenty of songs, both old and new, making for a great setlist. Best $20 I've spent in a while. Movie Review: the next best thing to being there
Summary: 5 Stars
I saw this concert and it was easily my favorite show of 2005. There is a great chemistry between Bob and his band: Brendan Canty (drums), Jason Narducy (bass, backing vocals) and Rich Morel (keyboards, backing vocals). It's a great representation of new and older material, with a nice focus on the stellar "Copper Blue" LP by Sugar. I saw a few shows on this tour, and this was by far my favorite. The DVD nicely captures the performance, my only complaint is that it doesn't quite show the energy of the audience. But it's a minor complaint. Any Bob Mould/Husker Du/Sugar fan will love this DVD. Great performance.
