Editorial Reviews

Deluxe four disc (three CDs + DVD) edition includes a triple CD set,taken from their July 5, 2009 show in Lucca, Italy, a DVD from the June 26, 2009 show at O2 Academy Brixton in London, England (with bonus tracks from the June 25th O2 Academy show) plus an exclusive C. Taylor Crothers photo book chronicling the entire Dave Matthews Band 2009 tour. The Europe 2009 release is the ultimate Big Whiskey and the GrooGrux King companion and comes in a sleeve with room to hold the Big Whiskey Super Deluxe edition. Dave Matthews Band played one of the longest shows in their history on July 5, 2009 in a beautiful plaza in the heart of Lucca, Italy. In the Tuscan setting surrounded by city walls dating back to the Renaissance era, the band was inspired to deliver a performance lasting almost three hours. Dave Matthews Band: Across the Pond is a concert film shot in the famed Brixton Academy in South London. Directed by Sam Erickson (The Road to Big Whiskey Documentary/44 Pictures) and filmed with 10 HD cameras in the vintage awe-inspiring theatre, this concert program takes you up close and personal with DMB in a setting reminiscent of the band's earlier years of club and theater touring. Mixed in pristine stereo and 5.1 surround from the original multi track recordings.

4.0 out of 5 stars DMB must have!, December 26, 2010

This review is from: Dave Matthews Band - Europe 2009 (3 CDs & 1 DVD) (Audio CD)

This is a compilation of songs that DMB played while touring Europe in 2009. The only gripe I have is that they include a cardboard filler in the actual box. It is for another set that you can purchase but it didn't make any sense to me. Oh well, great band!

This review is from: Europe 2009 (MP3 Download)

I recently downloaded the Lucca, Italy concert mp3s from Amazon, so I'm only reviewing that, as I haven't seen the London DVD.

I've listened to the entire show several times. It's a pretty good performance and was overall fairly enjoyable, so I give it 3 stars by DMB's high standards.


Strengths:

* good crowd - this is the second official live release to feature a fun, appreciative Southern European crowd (Live Trax #10 in Portugal being the other). I liked their energy.

* A few songs were quite good - "You Might Die Trying", "Cornbread", and "Dreaming Tree" stand out. I'll be enjoying these ones over and over.


Weaknesses:

* The overall performance was pretty good but the GrooGrux songs were some of the weaker material; they sounded flatter than other 2009 shows I have fan-taped copies of, such as 29 July and 5 August. This was disappointing since I bought this show for the new Grux songs, as this is currently the only official live release with them.

* They cut out the "Sexy MFer" outro from Jimi Thing. I can understand why they'd do this for an official release, but it's a fun outro and is definitely missed.

5.0 out of 5 stars 10 HD Cameras?!?, January 6, 2010

What's the point of advertising that the concert DVD was shot with 10 HD cameras if it isn't available in BluRay?
