Nevilles!!!, October 15, 2008
This review is from: The Neville Brothers & Friends - Tell It Like It Is (DVD)
This is a must for all Neville fans and fans of the many styles of music associated with New Orleans and Louisiana. From funk to zydeco, this DVD will make one second line to the internet to book tickets to Jazz Fest and a B & B near Tips! I have been a fan of the Neville family for over 20 years and this DVD is just a taste of what you will witness in person. They're the best!

A "Once in a Lifetime" Concert, Full of Collaborations with New Orleans' First Family Of Music - The Neville Brothers!!!, July 13, 2010
This review is from: The Neville Brothers & Friends - Tell It Like It Is (DVD)
According to the product information on the back cover of this DVD, it states this concert was a "Once in a Lifetime" Event. It's the only time, this "All Star" group of musicians have assembled together in concert. This is a very entertaining concert dvd, featuring excellent collaborations. It was copyrighted in 1989. It was filmed in New Orleans' famed "Storyville Jazz Hall". Artists include: The Neville Brothers: Art, Aaron, Charles, & Cyril. Guest artists include Gregg Allman, Ed Bradley (the news reporter), Jimmy Buffett, The Dirty Dozen Brass Band, the Dixie Cups, Herbie Hancock (he is the producer), John Hiatt, Daniol Lanois, Ivan Neville (Aaron's son), Dennis Quaid (the guy who protrayed Jerry Lee Lewis, in the Movie "Great Balls of Fire"), Bonnie Raitt, and Buckwheat Zydeco.
The songs are great, the collobrations are awesome. This is a historic, "one of a kind", "Jam Session" concert dvd.
The songs include:
1.30 N x 90 W (introduction)
2.Yellow Moon
3.Failing Out of Love
4.Closer to You
5.Midnight Rider (Gregg & the Neville Brothers do an excellent job on this ABB classic. The vocal harmonies & alternate lead vocals between Gregg & Aaron Neville, are "awesome" on this great song.)
6.Tell it like it is
7.My Blood
8.Sixty Minute Man (by Ed Bradley the 60 Minutes News Man)
9.Sister Rosa (about Civil Rights heroin Rosa Parks)
10.Fire & Brimstone
11.Middle of the Night
12.Ya Ya
13.Brother John/IKO IKO
14.Fire on the Bayou (All the artists join in on this Neville Brothers Classic!!!)
This is a great, classic, and historic, concert DVD. Thanks!!!
