Movie Reviews of Elvis Costello & the Imposters: Club Date - Live in Memphis [Blu-ray]Movie Review: You want Elvis up close and intimate? You got it... Summary: 5 Stars
Now, this is music. This is passion. This is up close, personal, and "en fuego". Elvis and his band GRABS you by the throat, live and video audiences both included, and takes you on a roller coaster ride which ONLY goes up. You never go down. Video is great, sound is even better. The wonderful mix is an example of how to do 5.1 RIGHT. It's not about "effects" and making you think crap is behind you when it isn't (for music shows anyways). It is for IMMERSING you, enveloping your senses, and putting you THERE in the sweat, the smell and taste of beer and smoke and the fire of a singer and a band just giving you EVERYTHING. The wonderful Emmylou makes an appearance and brings tears to your eyes, and you're THERE.
Do yourself a favor. Experience this show. Own it, live it. It is so well done that you'll watch it again and again. Musicians take heed to the "space" given to the other players in the ensemble, and how "space" adds so much to a performance. As well, the delivery and honesty that Elvis gives is so missing from so many current manufactured (for lack of a better word) "pop bands" out there. Having "Elvis" in Memphis live, on a perfect night, with a perfectly edited performance (compiled from several performances) is just "right". You'll not want your night to end. Live it over and over...and pray that EC and his band keep giving us stuff like this. The eclectic mixture of styles takes you on a real adventure you'll not forget. I envy those who were there. As a frequenter to the HiTone I sadly missed out on this one...but you don't have to!
