Movie Reviews of Neil Young In Berlin
Movie Review: Hands down the best Neil Young DVD
Summary: 5 Stars
Coming off the Trans tour, one would think this would be a medicore concert at best. Not the case. Neil mixes his 80's techno tunes Sample and Hold, Transformer Man and Computer Age, not with similar treatments of his classic songs (as he did with mr. Soul on the Trans album), but with wonderful classic renditions of Old Man and a powerful Cinnomon Girl. To top it off we are treated to a new song (Berlin) that never made it on any CD. A must have.Movie Review: Great Old Show
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a fantastic show for the production quality (25 years ago!)and Neil's performance. I skip the three "Trans" synthesiser songs, but the rest more than make up for it. This is the best old Neil video you will find!Movie Review: This DVD has it all
Summary: 5 Stars
Covers wide range of Neil's music. A must if your a fan of rock and roll. Great version of Like a Hurricane!Movie Review: oh yeah baby
Summary: 4 Stars
My rating of four stars is something of a compromise. I consider it to be a five star item for collectors, and all those guys who rated Trans at 4+ stars, but more like 3 for the more casual Neil Young fan. This DVD provides fans with a rare oppurtunity to see songs from Trans performed live, specifically Little Thing Called Love, Computer Age, Transformer Man, and Sample and Hold. Computer Age and Sample and Hold are both superior to the album versions, thanks to louder guitars and an overall fuller sound. Transformer Man sounds pretty much just like the album (the music is actually played from a tape on this one) but watching Neil and Nils prance around like fools during this one is in itself worth the price of this DVD. Whatever they were on that night was obviously good stuff :) Those who who are not familiar with (or even blatantly despise) the Trans material will still find good stuff here, cause the rest of the DVD is more typical Neil fair, with fairly straightforward but well executed performances of favorites like Cinnamon Girl, Like a Hurricane, Needle and the Damage Done, etc. Other highlites include a particularly good version of Hey Hey My My, and a song called Berlin which (to the best of my knowledge) isn't available anywhere else. The audio quality is pretty good, especially considering that the concert in question was recorded nearly 20 years ago. The 5.1 mix is disappointing though, all they've really done is pan the crowd noise and a little bit of echo to the back. It really sounds better in plain stereo. Video quality is acceptable, but not great.
Movie Review: neil in outer space
Summary: 4 Stars
A must-have concert for Neil Young fans, this video features rare live footage of the rock legend filmed in West Berlin, Germany. The 1983 show was the last stop of Young's European tour and included several of his earlier hits, such as "Cinnamon Girl" and "Old Man," along with songs from his 1982 Trans album, which featured synthesized vocals and sci-fi musings. Young is accompanied by the Trans band, including sidemen Ralph Molina of Crazy Horse, Ben Keith, Joe Lala, Bruce Palmer (formerly of Buffalo Springfield), and Nils Lofgren. This DVD version features 5.1 audio. Review from Rhino Records
