The Breaker Upperers: DVD

The Breaker Upperers Directors: Madeleine Sami/Jackie van Beek Madman The much-hyped The Breaker Upperers is a giant dud; a turkey. You get the feeling it was made in real-time almost, plotted out scene by scene as it’s happening. Shoot something. Wait. Print. Write a new scene. That’s the diminishing-returns aspect. The trailer-worthy highlights appear thick, […]

Jeff Lynne’s ELO: Wembley or Bust

Jeff Lynne’s ELO Wembley or Bust Columbia Jeff Lynne has been taking stock in recent years – then again, maybe that’s all he’s ever been doing. But there was the reworking of classic ELO songs as a one-man-band. And a solo album of crooner-covers. Then, finally a new studio album of originals under the new […]

David Gilmour: Live at Pompeii

David Gilmour Live At Pompeii Sony Music Canada Inc. It’s no substitute for the real thing – Pink Floyd – but the more I’ve listened to this I’ve found a way in. That’s just me being a die-hard Floyd fan, or at least a Floyd fan of a type. I wasn’t at all impressed on […]

Santana: Live At The House of Blues – Las Vegas

Santana Live At The House of Blues, Las Vegas Eagle Rock Entertainment As someone utterly embarrassed by some of Carlos Santana’s decisions over the last decade (well, nearly two decades I guess) I was in full support of the “classic” lineup reunion of the band, rather than the ongoing Carlos Santana + Guests Brand.
