5.0 out of 5 stars Lighter in mood, but still oh so very Rollins., March 13, 2000

This review is from: You Saw Me Up There [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This tape is an excellent piece to compliment the "Think Tank" album. Rollins addresses some of the same topics on the video that he mentioned on the CD, but there are some different takes and some new things to be told. What really makes this tape are the breaks in between spoken bits -- I'm not gonna give it away, you'll just have to check it out.

The best piece on the video is "Eric The Pilot", possibly the best yet of Henry's many whacked-out travel stories. This one is made better by the fact that you can see his facial expressions, something the CDs can't fully convey.

With all of this we get Henry's take on Racism, Homophobia and other forms of human ignorance. Many people could use a good session of sitting down with this tape and learning that ignorance hurts everyone, even oneself.

3.0 out of 5 stars Decent substitue for a live show, but I'd spend the cash..., November 9, 1999

This review is from: You Saw Me Up There [VHS] (VHS Tape)

on his CD's.

This particular show is very "PC" oriented (20-30 minutes on the soapbox of anti-racisim/anti-gay topics). If you can't stand it when he gets on one of those rants, stay away from this one.

It also has the short version of the "Eric the Pilot" story. If you haven't heard this one, go to 21361.com and order the cd. The CD version of the story is significantly better. I'd rate it as one of his best CD's.

5.0 out of 5 stars awesome! worth the 20 bucks., November 30, 1998

This review is from: You Saw Me Up There [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This video captures the essence of Rollins' live spoken-word performances; it's even better in the sense that it's edited to 1 1/2 hours, so you see the best of the show. It's refreshing to see Rollins the person (with a sense of humor, even) and get beyond his caveman musical persona. Not as good as seeing him in person, but an acceptable substitute for those lonely nights.
