Canadian Brass: Three Nights With Canadian Brass

Rating:
Summary: Not a professional production
Review: I was very excited to receive this DVD. I have been a fan of the CB for years and have seen them in concert several times. The DVD has 3 sections. For some reason, my DVD player will not navigate the main menu to the 2nd and 3rd section, so I can only view the first, which is the most recent (The Amazing Brass section.) While the perfomance is superb, the video and sound are not very good. The video looks like it was done by someone's mom sitting in the 10th row with a cheap camcorder. The sound is OK, but certainly not up to what you would expect from a $20 DVD. Every time they talk into the microphone, you have to turn the volume down. And they seem to have miked the audience as much as the CB. The editing is very poor, with bad transitions from one tune to the next. They just sort of stop and start.

If I ever manage to watch the 2nd and third parts, I hope that they are much better.
