Marcus Miller - In Concert

Summary: Marcus, Marcus, Marcus!!!
Review: This DVD gives a killer opportunity to see one of the all-time best bassists in the world in a live setting. It is a little short and the audio mix is pretty poor (the bass is a bit buried for my tastes, especially because is a Marcus Miller- led band!), but the performances are killer, and it's definitely worth a look and a listen.
Kenny Garrett and Patches Stewart both contribute well on their horns, and the keyboardists do well also; Morris Pleasure (who's also the musical director for Earth, Wind, and Fire!) plays great keyboard bass under Marcus' soloing, and the other guy on keys (whose name escapes me!) sure makes some goofy faces, but his solos are killer.
And then, of course, there's Marcus and Poogie Bell, who provide a solid foundation anyone would die for.
Overall, not the best sound and a bit short, but DEFINITELY worth the trip.

Review: You know, ever since I was first introduced to Marcus by my father back in 1993, when I was just a young lad of 14, I've taken up the bass guitar. I have to tell you one thing about this DVD, and that is: If you have seen marcus perform live (like me) then you are in for a real kick when you watch this! He is better than I could possibly have imagined, and its grat that he has finnaly put a DVD out on the market.
Although the quality of the DVD itself is not 100%, it is still good quality, and well worth the money. The feature track for me was "Steveland" which is off his album "the sun don't lie", Kenny Garret and Marcus settle into one mean groove, and it really blasts off! If you are a bass player, or even simply a fan of REAL music, then I have to say this MUST be a compulsary addition to your audio-visual library.
