Movie Reviews of Damn Yankees - Uprising: Live!
Movie Review: My Favourite Music DVD...
Summary: 5 Stars
I have been a DY fan since they came out, and never got a chance to see em live. This is one damn fine performace on this dvd. The mix is in 5.1 Dolby which sounds amazing. I love everything about this dvd except a few minor things, which I'll get into.
DVD Chapters-The way this works really is kind of annoying. What I mean by this is they play a song or two, and then they have interview clips in between all the songs. It has a PLAY ALL feature, where it plays the whole dvd from start to finish, and it has another feature which is PERFORMANCES ONLY, where they cut out all the interviews, and they were really sloppy with the chapters. It cuts out a second or two of the concert, and doesn't start right where the interview ends. When it skips all the interviews, there's no fading out, or nothing, it's just real sloppy, it just jumps to them playing.
SETLIST-I was kind of disappointed that Silence Is Broken wasn't included in the live set, and that none of the music videos were included as extras. I have Dokken's Unchain The Night video collection, and has bonus interviews and videos as extras, and was done really well, which was also released by Rhino. 2 tracks I don't really care for on this dvd release is the title track Uprising, and 15 Minutes Of Fame. I would have replaced these 2 songs with Silence Is Broken, and Dirty Dog, which are 2 way better songs. I think the 2 songs they chose were Ted's choice, because Uprising is the only song that he sings, besides Cat Scratch Fever.
Onto the good things about this dvd though, I really thought these guys nail it live. The 5.1 Dolby sounds great, and is nice and loud. When you watch this video, you can't help but have fun because, you can clearly see that the band has fun playing together. There's nothing I hate more than seeing a band perform live, and it looks like they're just trying to get through it without killing each other. For instance, when Tommy Shaw starts the intro to COME AGAIN, he hears Ted do a lead over top of it, and says TED, CAN YOU DO THAT AGAIN? and he starts it over, and after he plays a bit of a solo, he says THANK YOU, GOODNIGHT!...THAT'S ENOUGH FOR ME MAN!, you can tell that they have a good sense of humour on stage.
Another thing that's a nice touch is they do 3 covers at the end of the show for an encore. Tommy sings Styx's Renegade, Ted sings Cat Scratch Fever, and Jack sings Night Ranger's Rock In America. The backstage interviews are great, and a lot of fun, but I just wish they would have been included separate, like in a bonus feature kind of section on the dvd, instead of playing between the songs. Other than that, I give this dvd a 5 out of 5. It's that good! I watch it over and over, and have fun watching it every time. Only thing that would make this dvd perfect is if all the videos were included, and Silence Is Broken was included in the live performances. Dirty Dog would have been nice, but wasn't a single, so it don't really matter.
I just love this dvd more than any music dvd I own. I've probably watched this sucker like 100 times so far. And I don't even think I've owned it for a year yet. So for any Damn Yankees fans, or just fans of Hair Metal, 80's Hard Rock, or even just classic guitar rock, you'll love this dvd. This dvd went above and beyond in video and sound quality. It rules!
