4.0 out of 5 stars Wunnerful! Wunnerful! (but be aware of both editions!), November 13, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Paul Westerberg - Come Feel Me Tremble (DVD)

Finally! Westerberg's long-anticipated concert film/documentary does not disappoint. The entirety of this movie is simply slicker than a school-boy's sleeve! Buy two! In fact, after reading this, some of you may end up doing just that. You see, there were actually two releases of this DVD (the original edition was a cd-sized digipak available only at Best Buy stores on Oct. 21. The second edition was a regular DVD keepcase available everywhere as of Nov. 11). ...The second edition features additional footage not found on the original (specifically, live versions of "Skyway," and "Lush and Green."). I'm not sure why the DVD was released in this fashion, especially since the hardcore, early-bird fan is the one most likely to receive the "short end of the stick," so to speak.
In spite of that bit of confusion, either edition stands as a truly indispensable item that is pure "Manna from Minneapolis" for any Westerberg/Replacements fan.

This review is from: Paul Westerberg - Come Feel Me Tremble (DVD)

I'll assume that everyone here is already a PW fan and jst wants to know if this is worth the money.

YES

Go buy it. Paul needs the money.

Great live performance, Paul's word assocaition game with Replacements' albums, and the simple joy of Paul and his fans outside the tour bus. For some reason, the scenes of Paul talking with the fans brought tears to my eyes. Maybe it was that so many of us have been with him for the whole wild ride since the Replacements' days. Maybe because we stuck with him through the lean times. Maybe it's because we're stupid sheep following someone who can't be bothered to try and please us. (OK, maybe not that last one)

Whatever it is, Paul Westerberg is the greatest songwriter of his generation, and you NEED this DVD. If for no other reason than "Crackle and Drag", or "Skyway", or "Unsatisfied" (For my money, one of the best songs ever written. By ANYONE.).

It's the portrait of a man at ease with his art, comfortable with his fans, and not concerned about being a rock star. Dude just keeps on doing what he wants, and he takes what he gets.

Even when he's at a record store promoting Stereo/Mono, and tells the fans that he doesn't remember the words to the songs they're shouting out, you just gotta smile. Vintage Paul.

In a perfect world, Paul Westerberg would be famous, and idiots like Fred Durst would be slingin' fries. Oh well, it's an imperfect world, and Paul's an imperfect guy. As it should be.

5.0 out of 5 stars A terrific "rock-umentary", December 16, 2003

This review is from: Paul Westerberg - Come Feel Me Tremble (DVD)

I suspect PW would dig the reference to Spinal Tap...

Overall, this is a fantastic homemade film that follows Paul during a solo tour. The live performances are generally superb, although a little uneven at times (what do you expect). I was a little disappointed with the solo format; Paul solo is great, but seeing him with a band turned up to 11 is sublime. Interestingly, I stopped missing the band about 1/2 way through the movie. Specifically, the absolutely heartwrenching rendition of "crackle and drag" pretty much made me a believer that the solo format is as compelling as any live band. A pseudo-video for "what a day for a night" is pretty cool as well.

Getting a peek at PW's creative process is worth the price of this DVD alone: freezing in a winter coat sitting in his basement, struggling to keep his cigar lit, unable to read his own lyrics, turning the tape machine on and off, etc. PW is arguably the greatest living songwriter alive; seeing him at work is amazing, disarming, and humbling. Is this really the wellspring, an unheated, cramped Minneapolis basement?

Word association with Mats record titles (more interesting what is NOT said), brief comments about his father, the spectacular failure of the Mats, hanging out with fans on the steps of his tour bus in the alley, his preshow ice ritual,...what more do you want? This really is a fascinating look at a tragic, charismatic genius. Like a ghoulish carwreck, man, I couldn't take my eyes off of this movie despite myself.
