5.0 out of 5 stars I DON'T KNOW HOW A CONCERT DVD CAN BE BETTER THAN THIS, January 11, 2006

This review is from: The Mavericks - Live in Austin, Texas (DVD)

THE MAVERICKS - LIVE IN AUSTIN, TEXAS is a fabulous concert DVD. I own only one other such DVD: the BeeGee's ONE NIGHT ONLY. It is an awesome DVD, too, but I couldn't tell you which I like better; they are just different. I had never seen the Mavericks before but I'm now a huge fan. The lead singer of the Mavericks, Raul Malo, has a super voice and is a charismatic performer. His singing style has been compared to Roy Orbison, a comparison which has some merit, and there are strains of an Irish tenor there somehow, too. This DVD has few flaws. Each song is a delight with some songs rising above others to be my favorites: DANCE THE NIGHT AWAY, I SAID I LOVE YOU, ALL YOU EVER DO IS BRING ME DOWN, SHINE YOUR LIGHT, HERE COMES THE RAIN and, maybe the best of them all, THE NIGHT THE BOTTLE LET ME DOWN. I'm not going to pretend that I know a lot about music but the arrangements all are very well done. On stage with the Mavericks is a quartet brass section that adds a lot to the mix. I have read that the Mavericks started out as a country band, but I think anyone would be hard pressed to label them such now. Rather they seem an amalgamation of different musical styles: part country, part tejano, part rock and part pop. Recorded in Austin at the famous Stubbs BBQ on June 2, 2004 in front of a youngish crowd of fans, THE MAVERICKS LIVE is not only an entertaining DVD to view but one also feels witness to a unique musical category being created. You can't go wrong with this one.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pure Heaven!!!!!, January 21, 2006

This review is from: The Mavericks - Live in Austin, Texas (DVD)

This is a pure and awesome performance by one of the most versatile bands of all time. Front man, Raul Malo, has a musical gift like no one else I've ever heard before. This musical genius channels the likes of Roy Orbison, Elvis and Bruce Springsteen, while still delivering a sound that is uniquely his own. Raul Malo's voice is a pure caress as he sings "Fool #1". He effortlessly switches moods as he performs "Tonight the Bottle Let Me Down" and "I Said I Love You" This is a must own for Maverick and Malo fans. The only thing better than owning this DVD is seeing Raul Malo live. If you get the chance people, DO IT. Saw him at Largo in LA last March, and he just blew me away. You will never be disappointed when Raul opens his mouth. Pure Heaven!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is an EXCELLENT DVD. The concert is exceptional and is almost 3 hours long. The longer the concert goes, the better they get. They are great in concert and I can't wait until they come to Michigan!!!!!!
