A Long Time In Coming, September 14, 2004
This review is from: Echo and the Bunnymen: Live in Liverpool (DVD)
Having been a Bunnymen fan for over 20 years, and after seeing them live three times, I was eager to secure this live DVD. I am now enjoying the DVD for almost two weeks; I am very glad that I was not swayed by the various reviews that slag the quick editing / imagery. I enjoy this DVD the more I play it. I especially like the mix of songs that were chosen for this production. Hearing some older and lesser known songs such as Villiers Terrace and Zimbo / All My Colours rounds out an excellent playlist. The projection of old band related images onto the backstage does not distract from the production. Rather, I enjoy seeing the images of the band in younger days. The main focus of the camera remains Ian and Will; their performances become stronger and the show progresses.

A great DVD, great sound., May 27, 2004

This review is from: Echo and the Bunnymen: Live in Liverpool (DVD)
This DVD is well worth the money. I've seen them live and actually walked out because the performance was very dismal and the sound was terrrible. Florida 1985, what was I expecting? This DVD has great sound and shows the band as best as can be expected. The layering of images does get annoying but does stays true to the their psychadelic style. They really manged to get a great recording from a live performance. As for the Tom Petty comment, you really should get your hearing checked, LOL.

A must for all Echo fans, August 23, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Echo and the Bunnymen: Live in Liverpool (DVD)
I have to agree with some previous reviews. The last thing the music of the Bunnymen needs is 'atmosphere'. I didn't like all the fancy visuals and editing at all. The overlapping images were completely unecessary. And at other times there were rapid fire cuts so fast it made my head spin. Still, a worthwhile concert document. The sound is INCREDIBLE. I viewed this without an elaborate 5 speaker system so I envy those that do. Great song selection as well - highlights "Killing Moon", "Rescue", "Back of Love" and "Nothing Lasts Forever". However, it would have been cool to have "Show of Strength" included.
