Movie Reviews of Dan Zanes & Friends - All Around the Kitchen! Crazy Videos & Concert Songs!
Movie Review: Love it!
Summary: 5 Stars
We saw Dan Zanes & Friends in St. Paul and couldn't wait for this dvd to come out. The live footage is a reminder of how great the show was. Our 2 year old is constantly asking to watch this dvd. My husband and I enjoy their music just as much as he does. Just recently, we were visiting family and put the dvd in to get our son to wind down and go to bed. By the second song the room was full of family members, mostly adults, in disbelief at how good the "kids' band" was. We ended up watching it several times because people kept wanting to see certain songs again. My 62-year old father was on the computer that night ordering it for the rest of the grandkids and was inspired to break out the guitar and search the internet for old "sea songs" that he could play/sing for my son. My 80-year old, ex-yodeler, grandmother's face lit up as she sang along to "The Sidewalks of New York" and other old songs that she recognized. My son spent the rest of the trip trying to play the guitar and refering to Dan Zanes.
The video has two parts- the live footage and then the videos (which include the videos that they aired on Noggin). Like the other reviewer, I wish that they would have included a few more live songs (such as "All around the Kitchen" and "House Party Time". Even though the video versions are included, it would have been fun to see them live also because the kids (& parents) go absolutely crazy when they play those songs live). I also wish that it would have included some interview footage of the band (as an extra). I do like that it isn't overdone and how the live stuff has a homemade recording and small venue feel to it. I also like the documentary-style video ("wanderin" I think?) of the band.
This is a great video and I recommend it to everyone (along with the cds). I don't see how anyone could not enjoy this band. I'm so glad that my son (finally!) has some good music to listen to!

Summary of Dan Zanes & Friends - All Around the Kitchen! Crazy Videos & Concert Songs!
Studio: Wea-des Moines Video Release Date: 08/30/2005With his trademark happy hair and spirited band comes Dan Zanes in his first-ever DVD, a concert/video collection of sing along melodies blending rock, folk, and global rhythms into a homespun musical menagerie. Formerly with the Del Fuegos band and riding on the success of seven CDs, Zanes presents All Around the Kitchen! featuring nine musical selections performed live in concert at New York?s Knitting Factory. Whether familiar songs such as "Hokey Pokey" and "Polly Wolly Doodle," or lesser known numbers like "Malti," Zanes takes traditional music, winsomely turns it on its head, and adds such diverse instruments as accordion, banjo, upright bass, mandolin, and ukulele. On the program?s alternative track, viewers can choose among a half dozen music videos pulsating with kids, street scenes, dancing, singing, and jubilant acoustics. There is "House Party Time," "All Around the Kitchen," and "Hello" as seen on Noggin, as well as "Jump Up" and "Go Down Emmanuel Road" performed on Sesame Street. Zanes? soulful musicians, contagious enthusiasm, and all-inclusive approach to music make this a song-and-dance fest where everyone finds a voice. (All ages) --Lynn Gibson
