Movie Reviews of Live Revolution Rock
Movie Review: SAW IT ON PUBLIC TELE
Summary: 3 Stars
When I saw this it was constantly interupted by the channels hosts asking for donations over and over and over and over and over.......so about 30 min. of the DVD was not shown in lieu of this. At the end of the show I heard a snipet of "Pressure Drop" hoping it would show up on the track listing, since I've yet to see them perform it. It even listed it in the shows scrolling credits and of course it's no where to be found on this DVD. I'm sincerely disappointed.Movie Review: Aw Man!
Summary: 2 Stars
I was excited about this and looked forward to it.
But, why cut off songs?
Anyone who is into this wants to see complete songs.
If you are patient and want to start somewhere great, track down the trading community DVD "The Clash On TV Vol. 1", before you pick this up.
Don, I know you don't want to hear this - why did you not follow the track flow of "The Clash On TV Vol. 1" and release it official?
The whole thing works so great.
Thanks for your hard work on this - I really wanted to recommend it.
Look forward to your next project.
Movie Review: Not much new on this disc
Summary: 2 Stars
I also saw clips from this on PBS recently. And from what I saw there and in the tracklisting, most of these performances were already seen in "Rude Boy" and "The Essential Clash."
Where's the brilliant Saturday Night Live performances?? Why only one song from the "Fridays" show? They performed four. Same with the Elizabethan Suite. Only two of the four songs performed there are included. And "Tommy Gun" isn't even a live clip.
Of course, any live footage from The Clash is going to be impressive, but I wish more new stuff was on tap here.
Movie Review: Too Bad...
Summary: 2 Stars
...the LIVE footage is great. Raw, energetic, unrivalled. The narration is moronic and it treads on the performances. You're better off picking up the From Here to Eternity: Live CD.Movie Review: Another incomplete cash-grab...
Summary: 1 Stars
There's some great stuff here, to be sure, but VERY few complete performances. Songs get thru two verses, then get jammed into some lousy graphics or a voice-over that gives no real input into what we're seeing. Why cut off "White Man In Hammersmith" two lines from the end? Why not have the full performances from The Tomorrow Show instead of chopping them off right before the climax? There's already a perfectly good Clash documentary out there ("Westway To The World", highly recommended if you've not seen it), so the only real reason to pick this up is to see some new footage and hear how powerful the group's live performances were. And this doesn't achieve that. Hang on to your bootleg DVDs, your VHSs taped off late night TV, the clips downloaded from wherever... That's still (sadly) the only way to get the best of "the only band that matter".
So in short, the tracklist looks good, but the product falls very flat. Only for the true completist. Sad, but true.
