Summary: The CD Mix Was Better, But the Visual is Key
Review: This concert footage is amazing on DVD. The Psychedelic Furs are back together, who knows for how long. This DVD captures a moment in music that may be lost forever. I saw the furs on this tour and they were amazing. I bought this DVD the moment it came out because I wanted to have a concert of a band that may very well be gone forever. Front man Richard Butler leads this new incarnation of the furs here. The original furs had a horn section. . . an almost rotating cast. The original guitar John Ashton, and original bassist Tim Butler are back and that is definitely important to the band. Also involved in the project is Richard Fortus, and Earl Harven. Both are members of Richard Butler's 90's band Love Spit Love. The mix on the DVD is not that great. . . That is the only thing that bugs me. The CD from the same show is mixed differently and it sounds better, it takes a little of the edge off of Butler's voice in songs like "Heaven" where on the DVD, it is pretty bad. It was like the mixers turned Richard up way too much. . . But other than that, the sound is great. There are some extras on the DVD that are really good. There are three acoustic songs played somewhere in the House of Blues without an audience. One is new; "Wrong Train". . . It is great. There are also a couple new songs on the concert section of the DVD. The previously mentioned "Wrong Train" is one, and the other is called "Alive," and it is great. One of the best features of the live show is that a lot of the "80's" feel is muted slightly. It makes the datedness of some of the albums seem to go away. This is a great DVD. It should be on the shelves of every Psychedelic Furs fan, as well as any fan of great music. epc

Summary: Average Only
Review: This was a disappointing performance for me; especially with the recent quality of many concert DVDs. The band simply doesn't appear to have rehearsed that much prior to the performance. That is, the concert, primarily the singing was sloppy in my opinion. In addition, the sound left much to be desired. Indeed, it was the variable that was probably the most disappointing for me. Be cautious before you buy this one.
