Led Zeppelin: DVD (2DVD) [2003]

starring: Led Zeppelin
directed by: Dick Carruthers

Release Date May 26, 2003
Led Zep in their prime 1968-1980, they had there chance for world domination, but they always wanted us keep to waiting for more. With little or no interviews, no singles, no videos, no live snipits on the old grey whistle test. They didn't count on their drummer snuffing it in Sep 1980. He unfortunately was the best part of the band. 27 years on they play at the o2 for just a few select people and couldn't even be bothered to release that on DVD. Good old you tube helped out, but some guys shakey phone from aisle 150 just doesn't cut it. Then just when I thought it was safe there's jimmy page at the Bejing Olympics, fantastic (that'll be enough gigging for 2008 jimmy). Finally Robert Plant needs to wake up before he ends up in a retirement ... Read More:

Paul McCartney - The McCartney Years [2007]

by: Paul Mccartney
directed by: Dick Carruthers

Release Date November 12, 2007
This three disc set covers over forty years of Paul McCartney and Wings with studio video, live performances and extras that you probably have never seen. All the songs have been cleaned up and most are in 5.1 surround sound. Paul also contributes valuable and interesting voice-over commentaries for much of the material, if selected.

Don't let the first disc fool you into thinking that all the videos will be the same. Some of the storylines and video may be a bit dated looking and fuzzy, but the sound is perfect. "Ebony & Ivory" is a bit saccharin for my tastes, but Mac makes up for that with great video renditions of, "Mamunia", "Maybe I'm Amazed", "Mull Of Kintyre" and of all things, "C-Moon", which sounds great.

Oasis - Familiar To Millions [2000]

starring: Liam Gallagher, Noel Gallagher, Gem Archer, Andy Bell, Alan White
directed by: Dick Carruthers

Release Date October 01, 2003
I bought this DVD about a week ago and wasn't disappointed. It captures Oasis in fantastic form, performing all their classic songs and some newer ones as well. Liam Gallagher, the quintessential Rock 'n' Roll star, is at his swaggering, charismatic best with Noel and Alan White as reliable as ever. The 2 new boys Bell and Archer look right at home in Oasis as well. Every song is performed with the famous swagger and confidence of Oasis, with Cigarettes and Alcohol, Roll with it, Champagne Supernova, Live Forever and Acquiesce standing out as phenomenal performances. Every song still sounds as fresh as it did when it was first released, and Dont Look Back in Anger still sends a shiver down the spine. I guarantee you could put this DVD on whatever song ...

The White Stripes: Live Under Blackpool Lights [2004]

starring: The White Stripes
directed by: Dick Carruthers

Release Date November 22, 2004
This dvd captures the energy and passion of one of the worlds best bands, challenged only by radiohead. Although his playin can be sloppy at times his raw emotion more then makes up for technique deficiencies.
The camera does not wander aimlessly to his face or the crowd all the time, or show images music lovers do not care about, like in rory gallaghers 'irish tour' dvd.
A music dvd for real music lovers

Portishead - PNYC - Live At The Roseland Theatre [1998]

starring: Portishead
directed by: Dick Carruthers

Release Date April 29, 2002
Make no mistake. If you like Portishead, you HAVE to get this DVD. Out of maybe 30 music DVDs I own, this stands in my Top5 for sure. Excellent video/audio quality, excellent performance, Beth's singing is greater than ever, the orchestra is a plus, and all these mini movies/videoclips at the extras are also great. The playlist is heavily focused in the "Portishead" album (which is a plus for me).

If you like Portishead, get this Dvd and then you will love them! That's what happened to me anyway..

Oasis: Definitely Maybe (Limited Edition)

starring: Oasis
directed by: Dick Carruthers

Release Date September 06, 2004
If you ask me, this is the first time I have felt that it might be worth buying an album DVD equivalent. The Definitely Maybe DVD includes, of course, all the songs, including videos and live performances of each song. The chances are you already own the album itself, so it's the visuals and the live performances you'll be interested in. And both are definitely worth while, although possibly not particularly in the long term - depends what sort of fan you are.

And if you are the sort of fan I am, then that may not be why you got this DVD at all - the key to Oasis (as many fans will know) is the combination between the music and the men. And in the interviews on this DVD, the men are in fine form. They are full of anecdotes, as you would be in recalling one of the ... Read More:
