4.0 out of 5 stars Chastain Park, August 11, 2006

This review is from: James Brown: Live in Concert - 13 Greatest Hits (DVD)

Actually, the concert was release originally in 1985, probably recorded in 1984. The CD version of this concert has to be the most recorded CD on different labels of all time. For some reason, no one has the copyright or someone is selling it to everyone. I personally have seen about 50 different versions of this concert on CD and there are probably well over 100. Sometimes the track list is the same as the concert, sometimes they change the songs around, sometimes they leave some of the songs, other times they add 'Sex Machine' and/or 'Body Heat' from LIVE IN NY 1980 to fool us JB fans!!

The concert was good. Mr. Brown was getting near the end of the times he would do the splits. You can see it was getting harder for him at age 51 or 52. Just a year od so earlier IN 1982 OR 1983 he was able to do them much better in the DVD concert JAMES BROWN AT THE BEVERLY WITH B. B. KING.

1.0 out of 5 stars Live at Chastain Park - The Awful Edition, September 12, 2006

By

This review is from: James Brown - Live at Chastain Park (DVD)

I've been looking for a decent JB live performance quite some time now. This one is not it. The video quality looks like it's from the late 60s and sound is non-existent. I have a couple of CDs of the same show. The awful sound made me think of playing the DVD with audio off and listening to the record at the same time. The horn section can only be heard if they solo into Mr. Brown's mike. Directing is bad, too. Everybody knows that a James Brown show is not just about Mr. Brown himself but his band, too. This time, the band is shown during solos and even then barely. It's Brown only who, too, seems somewhat restrained. I've seen him live twice in 2004 and 2006 and the DVD doesn't come close. He probably was more occupied with the cameras trained on him. Someone has edited a great deal of the show out of the production as well, making it feel really empty. If anyone can recommend a recording of a recent show, I'd be really grateful. It probably defeats this DVD one hand in the pocket.
