Rating: Summary: Camera work is amatuerish and dizzying; audio just ok Review: The cameraman apparently thought he was being clever by zooming in and out and tilting the camera each way, with rapid fire switches between too close and too far.The result was motion sickness and my wishing that the camera lingered so I could study the Rev or Jimbos handiwork. Instead the camera changes angle every 4 seconds. Big fans will like this as it is all that is out there, but darn it, hire a better crew next time Rev. This was disappointing. I'll keep coming to your shows of course, but this DVD is going onto the shelf.
Rating: Summary: Loco Gringos Like a Party! Review: This dvd has everything that is great about the good Reverend. Good times, great tunes and fantastic sound. I can't stress how good this dvd sounds on dts surround. There are two fun shorts with info on the beginings of the Rev. and the band that he is with today. If you are a fan of rock-a-billy you need to give this disc a spin. Crack a beer or four and praise Jimbo.
Rating: Summary: The Texas rockin' boys Review: What a great DVD. Not too many rockabilly kind of DVD's looks this good. And nice to see that there is over 30 minuts of extra material on it. I can only say one thing, you gotta grap this hot piece, it's the best I've seen in a long time. Great band, great humor, and now on DVD......
Rating: Summary: Baddest of the bad (and by that, I mean good). Review: What an awesome DVD. The picture quality: excellent. The sound quality: excellent -- and be sure to turn up the bass for maximum enjoyment! I've been to (only) two Rev. Horton Heat concerts, and I thought this DVD successfully captures the fun and spirit of their live performances. (Of course, nothing compares to actually being in the crowd.) The set list menu allows you to flip around to your favorite songs. Extras include two entertaining and informative segments featuring interviews with Jim Heath, Jimbo Wallace, and Scott Churilla. Many thanks to the band for making this DVD! Now I can watch this while waiting for them to come back to play NYC. :)
