Movie Reviews of The Cranberries - Live
Movie Review: More Lemons, than Cranberries--but I did really enjoy the "Zombie" performance.
Summary: 2 Stars
I'm giving this Dvd only 2.5 stars because you have to be a die-hard Cranberries fan to avoid falling asleep during this snoozefest. It's like watching a high school band perform in the gymnasium. They use either red, blue, or green lighting to try to liven it up a bit, but it fails miserably. Mostly boring and lifeless--more dead, than live, this concert is dark, dreary and dull (partly due to the song selection)!
It's in widescreen (looks like, 1.66:1), and the 2.0 channel stereo is very weak and useless. Luckily, the 5.1 surround is enough of an improvement (though still much too weak and well below average) to keep this from being a complete waste of time. Still, even my favorite song, "Dreams", failed to lift my spirits. Having the audience try to sing along, certainly didn't help matters. Ironically, Delores sings "Zombie" with more passion than any of the other songs. Here, she is not in a zombie, or out of breath state, but instead, more focused and strong. To spice things up, they even added in some quick edits during the song to match the beat of the music, and you can even see a man being passed around on the fingertips of the audience members as well. This performance awoke me from my zombie state, and without it, I would have lowered my rating to only 2 stars (even though it stood out only because the rest of the concert was so bland).
Unfortunately, I found almost all of the other songs to be too dull, regardless of how well Delores sang them. Other songs, such as: Pretty, Dreams, and Linger are done much better on their Cd's.
The picture gallery includes twenty useless pictures. The jukebox feature allows you to play any of the 15 concert songs in any order. However, even that is badly done. The wait between each song change is an extra few seconds too long. Other concert Dvd's with the jukebox feature (Jewel, etc.), make the song transitions faster, and appear almost seemless.
The 15 included songs from this 1994 London concert are: Pretty, Dreaming My Dreams, Linger, Ridiculous Thoughts, Daffodils Lament, How, Everything I Said, Not Sorry, Waltzing Back, Dreams, Zombie, Liar, So Cold in Ireland, Empty, Still Cant...
I've seen worse, but this certainly isn't going to do much for adding new fans. Worth a rental only.
