Crowded House: Farewell to the World Live (2007) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Recorded in 1996 at the Sydney Opera House plaza, "Crowded House" plays their farewell concert to an appreciative crowd of over 120,000. The 24-song set contains amazingly pure and tight sound with Neil Finn's voice at its best. There are no stand-out cuts, as the band gives it best performance to date on every track. It is flawless. The comments from the band to the audience between songs makes this one of the most personable concerts ever recorded. Slight variations on some songs and an accent here and there make the fans sing along throughout. The closing song, "Don't Dream its Over" is as emotional as ever, with shots of the crowd signing along and the band emoting, realizing this really is their last song together. It's one of the best concerts of the last two decades.
The extras include an optional commentary by the band in subtitles. The second disc has a 20-minute documentary about the enormous planning it took to stage this event, mostly narrated by the band's manager. Also included are a few featurettes, a photo gallery and the full "Crowded House" discography. This is one of those collectable packages that you'll never tire of.

High Civilization Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The music of the Bee Gees has played a tremendous role in my life. From the day I heard 'New York Mining Disaster'in 1967, they have been and always will be my favorite band. High Civilization in my opinion, is the most perfect album they have done since the also overlooked Mr. Natural in 1974, thru the present. I listened to it every day for over a year. Every one of my friends and their kids who heard this CD bought it.
I was so amused when everybody said "That's the Bee Gees?!"
It opened some minds and ears for the first time to this marvelous group.
As for the best cuts, I say all of the above--pick any one and there will be no argument from me. I will say that 'Dimensions' is my all time favorite Maurice song. How sad it is that there will be no more new Bee Gees music. It makes me treasure their vast body of work even more.
While I'm on the subject, I think I'll give HC a listen now-- and I hope more Bee Gees fans will do the same.

Elton John: Elton 60 - Live at Madison Square Garden (2007) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I was there the night of March 25th 2007 and what an evening it was. I know that's cliche but of the 9 times I have seen him, this was the absolute best show I have seen yet. Not only did he play for 3 1/2 hours, but he rocked it out like only the greatest of all time can. To hear his voice now performing 60 Years On to open his 60th birthday was beautiful, and that was just the first of 33 songs! He played for the die hard fans Where to Now St Peter, Ballad of a Well Known Gun, All the Young Girls Love Alice, and many others we haven't heard live in well over 20 years at least. If you're an Elton fan, you most defiantely have to get this. You'll fall in love all over again. If you are just a casual Elton listener, this will make you really understand how wonderful he truly is, and hopefully get you to dig deeper into the archive that is Reg Dwight's music. I will never forget that night forever. It was simply amazing and now everyone will get to experience just how magical the evening was.
