Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)The audio CD "We Live Here" is fantastic! I've spent many nights listening to it with the lights down low just trying to absorb all that Pat and his group delivers. The music is intense and climatic at times, yet soothing at others. So, when I purchased this DVD, I was hoping to receive the same feeling I got with the CD with the addition of the live performance.
The first problem is the placement of the interviews. After each song, an interview with a member of the band appears. Why wasn't this placed as a Special Feature? Can you imagine buying a movie that had the commentary turned on and you were unable to disable it? I usually play concert DVDs while having company over for the music and the visual effect. I can't with this DVD. The breaks in-between each song was a poor decision (IMHO).
The sound is great, yet the video quality suffers a bit. This DVD would be best appreciated by other musicians. All members of Pat's band are phenomenal and are fun to watch. The expressive faces as they play each note is great.
This is one to rent, not to own. I'll watch it a few more times, then sell it.
