Review Dream Theater - Metropolis 2000 - Scenes From New York / Warner Music Vision:Amid the lo-fi wasteland of the 1990s, Dream Theater were an unashamedly unhip throwback to the glory days of progressive rock; and in their 1999 album Scenes from a Memory they even dared to exhume that once-extinct species, the concept album. In 2000 the band took Scenes on the road, and the resulting concert footage is a testament both to their musical creativity and the fanatical loyalty of their audiences. Filmed on a sweltering August evening in New York, this was the last time the band played the album right through, using an on-stage narrator and even bringing on a Gospel choir for the grand finale. But the heat of the night is nothing to that generated by the blistering performances from a group of unrepentant musos who like nothing better than to play in complex time signatures and thrash out lengthy riffs at dizzying speed. Those not already converted will doubtless be puzzled by the sight of five hairy blokes earnestly expounding a quasi-operatic story of dying and "learning to live", while drummer/director Mike Portnoy's decision to intercut film snippets of the album's story with the concert footage seems redundant. But fans of this band, and anyone who yearn for the classic days of Rush, Genesis and Yes, will have nothing to complain about here: don't believe the music press, prog-rock is alive and well. On the DVD: here's a disc that's going to make this band's audience very happy indeed. Aside from the main concert itself there are five additional tracks-and this being Dream Theater, they are all pretty substantial, climaxing with the epic "A Change of Seasons". Then there's a fun 25-minute behind-the-scenes documentary with crew and fans waxing enthusiastic about the band, and even more additional concert footage. The whole band gather to provide a concert commentary, which ordinarily might seem an odd thing to do, but this is prog-rock after all. [+]

Review Paul McCartney: Live at the Cavern Club [2001] / Paul Mccartney:Paul McCartney's Live at the Cavern is essentially the video counterpart to his album Run Devil Run and is equally addictive. The legendary Liverpool club-where the Beatles and a great many other Mersey bands cut their musical teeth-has relocated to new premises in the same street, but it's still the most intimate of venues (it holds all of 300 punters) and is of course the obvious place for Macca to stage this wonderful rock & roll retro extravaganza. Oh yes, there was also a secondary audience of several million who watched the show as a Webcast, but at least this meant they weren't queuing at the bar. The music, however, isn't obvious at all. Rather than go down the tried and tested route of rehashing all the rock & roll classics everyone knows, McCartney decided instead to create a show focusing on his own personal favourites from his formative years. This means that we get stuff like "Fabulous", "Blue Jean Bop" and "Honey Hush" rather than the usual over-revived material. This combination of an instantly recognisable style with rather less recognisable songs is as refreshing as an ice-cold Tizer. The all-star band includes Dave "Floyd" Gilmour, Ian "Purple" Paice (looking alarmingly like Mel Smith) and even Pete "Eighteen with a Bullet" Wingfield. The performance is preceded by an interview with His Macship conducted by Jools Holland. -Roger Thomas.
