Movie Reviews of Highway Star: A Journey in Rock
Movie Review: A Wild & Wonderful Ride
Summary: 4 Stars
This was generally an excellent biography and packing six hours worth of interviews and performances makes this disc a real find. But nonetheless, I was expecting more archival footage. What we do get are some excellent interviews and great storytelling:
a) There's a good account of Episode 6 - Ian's early band here with footage of him performing (great) but then we fast forward to Gillan in Deep Purple, which for the most part becomes a Deep Purple documentary.
b) A lot of the documentary focusses on the Blackmore-Gillan relationship or lack thereof. I've read Ian's autobiography so most of the Blackmore-Gillan issues weren't new to me. This discussion plays a central theme in Gillan's life (and the film), being that the poor relationship with Blackmore drove him out of Purple the first time and altered the face of rock history.
c) I wanted to hear and learn more about Gillan's solo career. Again, not much here despite Ian's prolific output during the seventies. We get glimpses of the music.
d) Fast forward to the Black Sabbath album which was amusing.
e) Then it's back to the Purple reunion again. Again, some nice footage.
My feeling is that there was more stuff but the producers just wanted to get the overall story across. Fortunately, there are several interviews which are added to the special features.
The DVD does have liner notes, but not a proper track listing on the packaging. DVD 2 is a concert tour - but without a song list / chapter. Not so good.
Overall, I enjoyed this thanks to Gillan's storytelling abilities, and honesty. The man is interesting to watch and he's still rocking.
