4.0 out of 5 stars VERY GOOD, December 25, 2005

This review is from: Radiohead: The Astoria London Live (DVD)

The year was 1994. Radiohead was soon to release their brilliant sophomore album "The Bends" coming off of a large tour promoting their debut smash "Pablo Honey." This concert mixes material from both. While I am definitely more of a fan of The Bends than Pablo Honey, it is always a delight to see "Creep," their infamous hit single. Several other tracks from the first album stood out as well (most notably "You" and the grand finale of "Blowout" which is worth the price of admisson by itself.) Other highlights included "The Bends", "My Iron Lung", "Just", and a truly hypnotic "Street Spirit." Any fan of Radiohead would be insane not to own this (if not just to see Thom with his hair died blonde and Phil WITH HAIR.)

Overall, the songs range from good to mind-blowing which leaves the show with a rating of VERY GOOD. Jonny Greenwood is spectacular with the rest of the group feeding off of his wild energy. And as always, Thom Yorke is so entertaining to watch. This is what rock and roll is all about.

This review is from: Radiohead: The Astoria London Live (DVD)

I love Radiohead. Repeat, I love Radiohead. They put out the best 4 albums in a row since the beatles in the 60's. That being said...

This is the worst produced DVD I have ever seen.(!) It features perhaps 8 cameras with random selection of camera choice at almost exactly 4 second intervals. It is almost impossible to become interested in any part of the proceedings because you don't have the opportunity to watch any one of the fellas do ANYTHING for more than 4 seconds at a time. I can't believe anyone allowed this to happen. Who thought this was a good idea? He (or she) should be forced to watch this abomination. It's like staring into a strobe lite for an hour.

The only saving grace is that it is "filmed" at a time when the Band was beginning to ferment. Play it, but don't you dare watch or your likely to wind up in convulsions on the floor.

Come on boys, enough is enough. Give us a good, modern DVD, in at least dolby 5.1. I wouldn't care if you just used one camera. Please. Pretty please.

By the way. Would everyone please drop any references to the band called Coldpl_y (sorry, my fingers won't allow me to type the complete name)? How did Radiohead ever get linked with this completely unoriginal and mediocre band?

5.0 out of 5 stars This will blow you away..., November 14, 2005

This review is from: Radiohead: The Astoria London Live (DVD)

I have had a VHS copy of this show for years, and it's about the most kick-ass guitar-driven rock concert you could ever ask for... This covers most of Pablo Honey and some "new songs," as they play many songs from The Bends a year before it was released... Pretty standard set list from back then: You, Bones, Ripcord, Black Star, Creep, The Bends, My Iron Lung, Prove Yourself, Maquiladora, Vegetable, Fake Plastic Trees, Just, Stop Whispering, Anyone Can Play Guitar, Street Spirit, Pop Is Dead, Blow Out... High points are the spectacular opening "You," a rare live performance of "Black Star", and the sheer artillery of their amazing B-side "Maquiladora." The only downside to this DVD: After hearing this, you'll kick yourself for not having heard of Radiohead until 1999.
