Movie Reviews of The Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band 40th Anniversary DVD
Movie Review: a splendid looking, fine sounding, great performance
Summary: 5 Stars
This a damned fine performance all round, and with excellent camerawork to compliment the superb and dynamic audio (in Dolby stereo and true Dolby Digital & DTS 5.1 surround). Neil Innes clearly made every effort to be sure that this historic occasion would be recorded with all possible attention to detail.
On a big screen you notice that the limit of digital zoom on the cameras is occasionally tested, but while not pin-point sharp, the image quality is always good - and the whole show sounds fantastic, especialy in DTS 5.1.
Stephen Fry has a jolly time doing a few key numbers in his stylish lyrical spoken word - nailing the very complex rap of "Rhinocratic Oaths" with aplomb, and adding his trademark touch of class to "Sport (The Odd Boy)" and "The Sound of Music".
Adrian Edmondson is spectacular in "The Strain" and does a great job with "My Pink Half Of The Drainpipe", "Tent" and "Mr Slater's Parrot".
The dynamic nature of their late frontman Vivian Stanshall is proven in that four highly talented and very different artists have been enlisted to take his role in this gala.
The original Bonzo band members all present with gusto and inventiveness. It's also a very gay-friendly show, with "Legs" Larry Smith and Dudley Vernon Bohey Nowell proudly showing their style.
The late Vivian Stanshall and Denis Cowan were given a one minute's cacophony as a tribute at the start of the show.
I was 13 when I first heard the Bonzo Dog Band - as "I'm The Urban Spaceman" lingered in the Top40. It's still my favourite 45rpm single. In my early 20's I was introduced to the rest of their work and was blown away.
I am very grateful (privileged in fact) that the band made the big effort to do this DVD. Those of us living outside the UK can feel less envious of the lucky ones who'll enjoy their UK tour later this year (October/November 2006).
